Ooh
Ooh
Well, I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well, It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah (ooh), Hallelujah (yeah)
Hallelujah (ooh), Hallelujah
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips you drew Hallelujah
Hallelujah (ooh), Hallelujah (yeah)
Hallelujah (ooh), Hallelujah
I know the face of God above
All I ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who overdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah (Hallelu), Hallelujah (Hallelu)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah (Hallelu)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah (ooh)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah (Hallelu)
(Hallelujah) Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah (Glory, Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (yeah), Hallelujah (lu, lu, lujah)
Jah
Ooh
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
To sing a love song while we stroll along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are ya married?" We'll say, "No, man
But you can do the job when you're in town"
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
Oh, to face, unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are ya ready?" We'll say, "No, man
But you can do the job when you're in town"
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face, unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah, let's you and I go walking in a
Let's go walking in a winter wonderland
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
To sing a love song while we stroll along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are ya married?" We'll say, "No, man
But you can do the job when you're in town"
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
Oh, to face, unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are ya ready?" We'll say, "No, man
But you can do the job when you're in town"
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face, unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah, let's you and I go walking in a
Let's go walking in a winter wonderland

Carol of the Bells
[ Featuring The Joy ]
Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear, words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"

Find the Love
I made up my mind
I took some time and I opened my eyes
Oh, this year, darlin', I'm gon' find the love
I roll with the tide, the lows and the highs
I've been prayin' at night
Oh, this year, darlin', we gon' find the love
'Cause I search for the light
And God only knows I try and try
But this year, honey, we gon' find the love
We've been here before
Lost on these roads, yeah, we know where they go
But this year, darlin', we gon' be the change
It's hard, hard to find peace
But it's what we need when the world's at its knees
But this year, darlin', it ain't gon' be the same
'Cause we search for the light
And God only knows that we try and I try
'Cause this year, darlin', we gon' find the love, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

O Holy Night
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, o night divine
O, O fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, ooh, o night divine
O divine
Said, it was silent night
O divine
Said, it was, it was, it was a, a Holy night
O divine
Night divine
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, o night divine
O, O fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, ooh, o night divine

Make It To Christmas
Seven days a week, eleven whole months
Feels like I've been working and working too much
I ain't had no time for the ones that I love
What I really need is that season to come
Bring all our problems back home and unpack it
Like pullin' old boxes down out of the attic
It ain't always perfect, we know
That's just the way that it goes
I know the year's been rough
And we need this break so much
From a world so cold, we're living (oh-oh, yeah)
Well, there's a light at the end
And, baby, it's green and it's red
I know we'll make it if we just make it to Christmas (ooh)
The snow's comin' down, twelve days to go
I can already smell that home cookin' on the stove
When the door opens up, I can leave it all behind me
A smile on that face with a lil' somethin' shiny
We can unwind from that holiday drama (ooh)
Snuggle by the fire in our matching pajamas
It ain't always perfect, you know (ooh)
That's just the way that it goes
I know the year's been rough
And we need this break so much
From a world so cold, we're living
Well, there's a light at the end
And, baby, it's green and it's red
I know we'll make it if we just make it to Christmas (oh)
We've been singin' songs that's enough higher (ooh)
In the livin' room (in the livin' room, yeah)
Drivin' back from the North Side
Lookin' for a santa, we always do (ooh)
We're grown but we still believe
Christmas is all we need (all we need)
To bring us together, get us through whatever, it's true
I know the year's been rough
And we need this break so much
From a world so cold, we're living
Well, there's a light at the end
And, baby, it's green and it's red (oh, yeah)
I know we'll make it (I know we'll make it)
I swear that we'll make it (I swear that we'll make it)

My Favorite Things
Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
I don't feel bad
Ooh
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Tell 'em over, yes, over, can somebody help me say? (Over the hills and every, everywhere)
(Go, please tell it on the mountain) go tell it on the
That Jesus Christ is born
'Cause somebody needs this today, oh, ain't you happy, Jesus?
Jesus, Jesus is born
Oh, can you show some love? I said, anybody hear this? (Jesus Christ is born)
(Jesus, Jesus is born)
Can you pick somebody up? Can I get a witness? Can I hear you say? (Jesus Christ is born)
(Jesus, Jesus is born)
My sweet Jesus
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is
He is born

Almost Christmas
[ Featuring Common ]
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
A cat was purring, though not even a mouse was seen
The color of this dream was red and green, and we have been shopping a long time
Like we used to do at Evergreen, forever streams, rivers of life and overflow
As we celebrate the birth of Christ, who wore an open toe
Open hearts, the gifts inside, you not supposed to know
About the earrings I got you, yeah, they as cold as snow
Ice, ice, beloved, I hope you like, no, I hope you love it
And tell the boys they can sleep, you know I got them covered
In a blanket of thankfulness, I make a wish for brothers and sisters
And to think, we used to wonder why Christmas missed us
Now we think big, the prosperity, the joy
Good music, good food, surrounded by loved ones is where we enjoy
The presence of Christmas, Christ must be present
Like a Baptist church whose gift is pleasant
Or a child's eyes in effervescence
Aunts steppin', cousins jukin', our hearts dance with the ancestors
As we step into love, from upstairs, the man blessed us, yes, us
Let's remain here, through the sun and the rain, dear
Always, you're the reason I came here
It's almost Christmas, baby, tell me what you got for me
It's almost Christmas, oh, I'm wishing for the sleigh to move
To me
Close to me
Love when it shows pure like it's gold, maybe inside, we'll see you
Body and soul, deep as the snow, how does it make you feel
Close to me?
Close to me?

The Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, mmm
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, mmm
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
But surely you'll buy your pint cup
And surely I'll buy mine
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun 'til night
But seas between us roar and swell
Since auld lang syne
Oh
Auld lang syne
Oh, should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Ooh, woah
Woah, woah
Auld lang syne
Ooh
Auld lang syne
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
But surely you'll buy your pint cup
And surely I'll buy mine
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun 'til night
But seas between us roar and swell
Since auld lang syne
Oh
Auld lang syne
Oh, should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Ooh, woah
Woah, woah
Auld lang syne

The Gift of Love is the fourth studio album and first Christmas album by American singer Jennifer Hudson. It was released on October 18, 2024, by Interscope Records. Her first album since JHUD (2014), it features four original songs and ten covers of Christmas standards and carols, two are collaborations with The Joy and Common.
Hudson began recording the album after her talk show went on hiatus for the summer. In a interview Hudson explained the decision to recorded a Christmas song album:
"I feel like it hasn't been [a decade] because I sing through everything I do. Through films, commercials, different things, I have never stopped singing. So I didn't notice that I hadn't had an official Jennifer Hudson album. But time flies, especially when you're busy and I've been a busy girl. [...] What better way to come back than a Christmas album? It's been a dream of mine my whole career. I'm a holiday fanatic, so it just makes sense. [...] Holiday music, at least to me, is sentimental. So, like, "The Christmas Song", my grandmother loved this song, so it reminds me of my upbringing and the songs that my grandmother loved or that I used to hear around the house during the holidays"
