Jason Gray – Story Behind ‘Christmas is Coming’

Gray released four independent albums before reaching a national audience with his 2007 Centricity Music debut, All the Lovely Losers.

The impressive collection prompted ChristianityToday.com to call him one of “Christian music’s best kept secrets.” Gray’s Acoustic Storytime album captured the stories and songs that have made him such a popular live act and 2009’s Everything Sad is Coming Untrue helped Gray gain momentum at Christian radio.

Christmas is Coming Lyrics

Christmas is coming, the bells are ringing
Hope comes alive as music fills the air

Some say Christmas is for children and I believe it’s true
Can you hear the season calling to the child inside of you?
Awaken from your slumber come see with younger eyes
And be taken by the wonder that took the whole world by surprise!

Christmas is coming, the bells are ringing
Hope comes alive as music fills the air
I hear the drumming, it won’t be long now
Christmas is coming, will you be there?
Christmas is coming, will you be there?

They’re dressing up the city in a brightly lighted gown
There’s singing in the streets whenever Christmas comes to town
So let the spirit find you wherever you have been
And bring you to the child who makes us children again

Christmas is coming, the bells are ringing
Hope comes alive as music fills the air
I hear the drumming, it won’t be long now
Christmas is coming, will you be there?
Christmas is coming, will you be there?

Prepare ye the way
For God’s own baby boy
Born to mend all broken things
And to heal the world with joy
He will heal the world with joy!

I don’t want you to miss it, I know I have before
Like the innkeeper who missed the wonder right outside his door
So open up your heart as Christmas passes through
Just in time to wake the child asleep inside of you

Christmas is coming, the bells are ringing
Hope comes alive as music fills the air
I hear the drumming, it won’t be long now
Christmas is coming, will you be there?
Christmas is coming, will you be there?
