Halloween Eve – Children’s Novelty Song
Halloween Eve with music by Kathleen Holyoak, is a fun but spooky novelty song written for children and adults as they prepare for that special evening of “trick or treating”. Guitar chords for instrumental accompaniment are included with clever lyrics by Gary Croxall as follows:
Oh, it’s Halloween eve and believers believe
In witches and goblins galore.
The wind blows a tune, while a big yellow moon
Grins at tots as they troop door-to-door.
You’ll see midnight black cats, eerie hovering bats,
Scary masks that will give you a fright.
Your knees will grow weak when you hear a ghost shriek
Trick or treating on Halloween night

SATB
In Bethlehem There Lies a King
Told in the first person (an eyewitness likely a shepherd), InBethlehem There Lies a King recounts what he experiences and saw at the birth of Christ. Music by Kathleen Holyoak and Lyrics by Gary Croxall as follows:
I saw Him in a manger where I touched His hand and smoothed His hair.He smiled at me and I felt peace while in a stable filled with beasts.A wondrous child in swaddling clothes, a blossom fairer than a rose,In Bethlehem I found the babe and heard the angels sing His praise.In Bethlehem there lies a King. “Behold His star,” the angels sing.“The Lord of lords is born this day and rests upon a bed of hay.”I saw the Angel of the Lord whose voice did pierce me to the core.“Fear not,” he spoke with solemn word, “For this is Jesus Christ, the Lord.”The shepherds came and wise men too. They knelt before this baby, whoWas born to rule as King of kings and take away our cares and sins.In Bethlehem there lies a King. “Behold His star,” the angels sing.“The Lord of lords is born this day and rests upon a bed of hay.” Copyright 2014

My Savior lives forever more.
He is my Lord, O come adore.
Whene’er I thirst, He gives me drink.
My hungry soul He feed.
And in my hour of greatest need,
He hastens to this sheep.
Jesus lives. My Savior lives.
Though oceans rage and winds may blow,
My savior lives, O this I know.
He stills the storm and calms the sea.
The Lord of Galilee
Upon the water walks to me, His helping hand to give.
He lives. My Savior lives.
My shepherd kind, He knows my name.
Christ calls to me, where-e’er I stray.
And if I’m lost with love divine,
He searchs for me,
Not resting ’till His lamb he finds.
I’ll live because He lives.
He lives. My Savior lives.
When I am bound and held by chains,
He’ll wipe each tear and take each pain.
He’ll ease my grief; restore my soul,
On wings again to soar,
That I may rise eternally.
In Him I’m truly free.
He lives. He lives. My Savior lives!

No Place for the Savior of Men
No Place for the Savior of Men for SATB mixed voices with its gentle, lilting melody by Kathleen Holyoak, is a popular choice to for any Christmas program. The exquisitely beautiful lyrics take the listener to the scene of the nativity in a way that has never before been expressed:
No room for a mother and child;
No pillow, no blanket, no bed.
No place for the baby,
No room at the inn,
No place for the Savior of Men.
Where then shall they rest for the night?’
The street shall not welcome the King.
No place for the mother to bring forth God’s child,
No place for the Savior of Men.
The birds have their nests where they lay down their heads.
The deer have their meadows to rest.
The moon sleeps on clouds that are softer than down
But in small Bethlehem, no room is yet found.
The fish have their ponds and the rivers and seas;
The lions their dens and the insects their leaves.
The stars know the place where they’re tucked in the sky
But the Savior has no place to lie.
A stable, a manger, a stall;
Rough straw where she’ll cradle His head.
Where beasts gently offer the warmth of their breath
And give place for the baby to rest.
So sleep little baby, Savior Divine.
Dream on while God’s angels descend.
A place for the baby, the Savior of men,
One place, one place found in old Bethlehem.

One star to light the Christmas way;
a manger filled with straw and hay,
and starlight fell upon His face
as shepherds hastened to the place.
His breath was sweet as April air,
the little baby pure and fair
brought hope and love and peace sublime,
when He was born at Christmas time.
Noel, Noel. Sing we Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
As angels sang above a stall
of peace on earth, good will to all;
God’s little baby fell asleep,
and Mary kissed Him on His cheek.
He slept among the stable beasts,
while wise men journeyed from the East
To honor Him and give Him laud,
the newborn King, the Son of God.
Noel, noel. One star’s light . . . burning bright.
Noel, noel! Noel, noel! Born is the King.
Born is the King of Israel, behold His star!
Noel, Noel. One star, Noel!

Praise the Lord, who reigns above,
Worship Him in truth and love.

He hath made both star and sky,
Sun and moon that soar on high.
All His grandeurs us amaze.
Come sing to Him in joyous praise!
God Who formed both sea and shore,
All the waves that surge and roar;
Thy existence these attest
In north and south and east and west.
Stony mount or verdant dale,
Gentle wind or clouds that sail;
Beautify this place we live.
A prayer of thanks to Thee we give.
God of truth and God of light,
Ruler of both earth and night;
To Thy throne, our thanks we bear
And ask acceptance of this prayer.
Let Thy spirit us attend;
Guide us to The in the end.
Seal us thine forever more,
As we, Great King, Thy name adore.

Little lambs who roam far beyond the glen,
Christ will lead you gently home, trust that He’s your friend.
Through the darkest storm, o’er the torrent deep,
Let Him carry you in His arms safe within His keep.
Little lambs who stray, quickly falls the night.
See, the Shepherd points the way, follow in His light.
Listen to His voice. Trust the Master’s care;
Ever near your side, He will guide to meadows bright and fair.
Christ would give His life for one lamb.
He calls each one by name.
He will not abandon you, for none are lost to Him.
Let your heart by still and follow Him.
Little lambs, return to the Shepherds path.
Feed in pastures verdant green, guarded by His staff.
Turn and seek Him now. Feel His quiet peace
As He carries you in His arms, safely, safe within His keep.

The Garden Tomb, Kathleen Holyoak
The Garden Tomb, is a lovely new song for Easter by Kathleen Holyoak and lyricist, Gary Croxall. Tender lyrics most beautifully echo the Savior’s birth in Bethlehem, recounting His resurrection and build to a triumphant finale. Now available for SSAA or SATB choir, this is one title you will want to add to your library of special Easter music.
In a garden, dawns the day. Stars that glitter fade away.
Blossoms open, bathed in dew. All the earth awakes anew.
Midst the leaves of olive trees, birds, like seraphs, sweetly sing.
Flowers turn to greet the light; all is calm and all is bright.
Down a path, beneath a hill, lies a cave where all is still.
Near the tomb, now cast aside, rests a stone upon its side.
Angels watch, their vigil keep, where the Lord of all did sleep.
See the cloth that held God’s Son, Jesus the Anointed One.
Aleluia, Aleluia, Jesus the Messiah!
Aleluia, Aleluia, Jesus the Anointed One.
Loving Mary gently weeps. Gone the Father’s precious Sheep.
Empty is her tender heart, hollow as the tomb she sought.
Frankincense and myrrh still cling to the grave that bore a King.
Who shall lead his children on, to the place where he is gone?
“Woman.” Did the gard’ner speak? “Woman, why then dost thou weep?”
“Mary.” ‘Tis the Savior’s voice! Come, ye faithful, and rejoice.
Who shall raise the sons of earth? Christ shall give them second birth.
With the herald angels sing praises to our Lord and King.
Aleluia, Alelu . . . Sing praises to our Lord and King.
Aleluia, Aleluia. Sing . . .praises to our Lord and King, Our King!

The Gift
Words: GARY CROXALL Music: KATHLEEN HOLYOAK
God’s Christmas gift was never wrapped
And tied up with a bow.
It wasn’t purchased in a shop
Nor found within a store.
It was a simple gift, indeed,
Yet sacred and sublime.
It was a gift of love, a gift of life
Of hope and peace divine.
Search out the gift, embrace it tenderly.
Share the gift that God has given,
His gift to you and me.
God gave no gold, no frankincense;
He gave no amber myrrh.
The Father gave to all mankind,
A baby fair and pure.
He gave His Son to you and me,
It was our Savior, Jesus Christ.
He is the gift, our Christmas gift,
Born that holy night.
Search out the gift, embrace it tenderly.
Share the gift that God has given;
His gift to you,
His Christmas gift,
His gift to you and me.
