What could be more joyful, and therefore more God-ful, than Jingle Bells? And then, why can’t we sing it in church? Perhaps a few new verses would help …

Here’s the original first verse, along with my two doxological verses:
Jingle Bell Dox Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh Oer the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bob tail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight! The sleigh that glides along, The horse that knows the way, The harmony of song, The snow inviting play, The spirits growing bright, The laughter and the fun, They shine the light and fill the night with praises of the One! The sleigh is gliding God, The horse is snorting God, The fields are growing God, The bells are ringing God, The snow is drifting God, The speed is thrilling God, And yes, this moldy, golden oldy song is singing God!
So good to see you back on the web. Hope all is going well at your present church and your fans are expanding each week!
Thanks, Gwen! Best blessings and happy holidays!
