There are two types of people in the world: those who love Christmas, and those who don’t.
Each year, we’re working to build momentum and worship culture inside our services. We want people to have the chance to experience God and understand the value of worshiping our Heavenly Father. For eleven months, we pine over this process. Then, for five weeks, we have to abort because it’s Christmas time. If you’re like me, you LOVE Christmas – probably not as much as THIS GUY – but still love it and you want to sing Christmas songs.
Well, Jarrod, our worship leader is a little more scrooge than Santa and he wishes we would never sing Christmas songs. With that thought in mind, we went into the lab a few months ago to dream up what it could look like to make both sides happy. We came up with these mash-ups that have worked GREAT in our services. They’ve allowed us to celebrate the season without sacrificing the momentum and culture of worship. Check ’em out.
*Artistic disclaimer – these are work tapes we’ve created for our bands to practice with. Feel free to use these songs if it might help your service. Also, we’ve added an original worship song to this list that has been working well for us.
Merry Christmas!

Great thoughts on Christmas songs and worship. Love the arrangements on these songs. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. Hope it helps.
Thanks so much! These are incredible – using The First Noel/Jesus Paid It All this week!
SWEET BILLY! That makes me so happy.
These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you so much for sharing these with us all!!! You all should release a Christmas CD!!!
Joanne, we have to release a normal CD first. 🙂
These are so good. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
Thanks for writing this… I’ve been doing the same kind of worship/christmas mash-up thing for several years for the exact same reasons… What I’ve often found is that the songs we sing through the year have an AMAZING Christmas message… we just rarely see them in that light: i.e. Love Came Down… Heaven Is Here… Yahweh (desperation)…etc.
Thanks again for supplying great ideas…
I love these mashups and I am really interested in using them for our childrens Christmas play. Are tracks available? I particularly like Go tell it on the Mountain/Amazing grace and Silent night? Oh How He loves Us.
