Grace-Somethin' For Christmas

You've read Nuttin' for Christmas, well, this is the redemptive version that my mom wrote. We are also performing this song.

Somethin' For Christmas

Verse 1

I ate green beans without complaint
Somebody's proud of me
On Saturday I helped Dad paint
Somebody's proud of me

I shared my lollipop with Fred
Helped my brother make his bed
Buttoned my shirt just like mom said
Oh somebody's proud of me

Chorus

I'm gettin' somethin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are glad
I'm gettin' somethin' for Christmas
'Cause God helped me stop acting bad

Verse 2

I floss my teeth nearly every day
Somebody's proud of me
I always put my toys away
Somebody's proud of me

When it rained I put my bike inside
Gave my sis a piggy-back ride
I chose grilled instead of fried
Oh somebody's proud of me

Chorus

Oh I'm gettin' somethin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are glad
I'm gettin' somethin' for Christmas
'Cause God helped me stop acting bad

Verse 3

I wore the jeans that had no holes
Somebody's proud of me
I didn't point out my Auntie's moles
Somebody's proud of me

I asked forgiveness when I sinned
Praised my grandma when she thinned
Chose to be the new kid's friend
Oh somebody's proud of me

Chorus

Oh I'm gettin' somethin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are glad
I'm gettin' somethin' for Christmas
'Cause God helped me stop acting bad

Ending

Sow good seed and then you'll reap
The kind of fruit you want to keep
It's not really... about Christmas

Yodele-hee-hooo

Clever isn't she?
