O Come Emmanuel I'm Holding Nothing Back From You - #MusicalChristmas

8:27 PM   ,   21 comments

So last week was 70s and up. Very very warm , hot and beautiful!
This week? cold and colder still!
This LA weather is just doing the constant pancake flipping!

But it's to be expected.

Our December theme today is a FREEBIE! Share whatever song you like. Next week, you can share Christmas songs.

Aloha!




Behind this curtain there is a heart that's hurting.
It's been taking a beating. It's starting to fall apart.
And I feel like such an easy target. Dodging bullets, I'm exhausted.
How can every moment be this hard?
I'm holding nothing back from you.
Doesn't really matter what I lose.

Got a heart that's open. I'm broken and I want you to know.
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between you and me.
Jesus, it doesn't matter what I have to go through.
I'm holding nothing back, nothing back from you.
I've got a list that goes on and on.

It's overflowing with memories of everything that I've been doing wrong
And I'll be the first to say, I've chased after so many foolish things looking for a
way to kill the pain.
Oh, I'm holding nothing back from you.
Doesn't really matter what I lose.

Got a heart that's open. I'm broken and I want you to know.
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between you and me.
Jesus, it doesn't matter what I have to go through.
I'm holding nothing back, nothing back from you.
I try to do the right things.
Why am I struggling day to day with these same old things?
Whatever's taking your place, I'm getting out of the way.
I'm getting out of the way.
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between...
Jesus, I'll do what I gotta do.

I'm holding nothing back, back from you.
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between you and me.
Jesus, it doesn't matter what I have to go through.
I'm holding nothing back, nothing back from you.

    Our weather is crazy, too. Last week was mild and this week's forecast is a lot cooler. I've always liked the song O Come, O Come Emmanuel and the new, contemporary Christian covers are really nice. In fact, I'm enjoying a lot of upbeat covers of popular Christmas music this season quite a bit. Holding Nothing Back is a new-to-me tune, but I like it. Thanks for sharing it with us. I hope you're having a peaceful and joyful Christmas thus far. Blessings to you & yours, dear!

    We are cold. Just cold. Ha
    really like that first one. I am listening to a lot of more traditional and older Christmas music this year.
