Amy Grant - Tennessee Christmas Lyrics

As a native Tennessean, I concur! Headed there from DC in three days!

So blessed to meet and kiss Amy Grant on the cheek and of course to meet Michael W. Smith! #blessed

Reminds me of my childhood. My mom always played this.

Great Christmas song!

Every year my school has a little program where everyone in grades above kindergarten sing a song picked out by the teachers. Every year, one grade always sings the same songs; 8th grade. This is the main song they'll sing. I'm in 8th grade, and we are singing this song. It's the last one I'll sing at my school before going to high school, which I've been at my school since 1st grade, so I've done this every year. I guess this song will be my goodbye to my school.

I get to sing this for my Christmas voice recital. I’m so super excited!!

👍👍👍🔔Boa noite Linda

I am telling you, I didn’t know the words for about 13 years now.
I always thought it was “Ten to Tennessee Christmas” or “Tenor Tennessee Christmas” ! I was always so confused.
I was just randomly singing it, I know, in June, and I realized “It’s TENDER Tennessee Christmas!!!!”

We love you Amy Leigh!

Hi i Madison i really like your song i just want to tell you about me I was practicing a dance so can i use your song?

Come on weatherman,
Give us a forecast snowy white.
Can't you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight?
Rockies are calling,
Denver snow falling,
Somebody said it's four feet deep.
But it doesn't matter,
Give me the laughter;
I'm gonna choose to keep
Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
The only Christmas for me.
Where the love circles around us,
Like the gifts beneath our tree.
Well I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see,
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
Every now and then,
I got a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California,
Maybe tinsel town's for me.
There's a parade there;
We'd have it made there;
Bring home a tan for new year's eve.
Sure sounds exciting,
Awfully inviting,
Still I think I'll gonna keep
Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
The only Christmas for me.
Where the love circles around us,
Like the gifts beneath our tree.
Well they say in l.a.,
It's a warm holiday;
It's the only place to be.
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
Well I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see,
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
A tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only christmas for me.
Compositores: Amy Grant / Gary Chapman

My family’s Christmas since forever. THANK YOU AMY...from another TN GAL!!!💕

One of my all time Favs. Miss you mama...miss HOME. ❤

Wonderful Christmas song

This was a great album during the artist's best days. Amy never had the power and energy of a Twila Paris, but her music during this era was beautiful reflective and just great easy listening music for its genre. There is nothing like this in the Christian music scene anymore. We flower and fade.

This song is why I started the country ( primitive ) Christmas look.

I choke up when she sings "I know there's more snow, up in Colorado than my roof will ever see. But a Tender Tennessee Christmas is the only one for me." My daddy who has passed away 8 years ago grew up in Colorado and I use to visit there in the summer. Merry Christmas daddy. A lot of my relatives that live in Colorado, I miss them dearly.

They do this song at Dollywood in their Smokey Mountain Christmas show. It's incredible. I start to cry as soon as the first note plays.

I am sure she is nice. I lost respect for her after she and her husband divorced. A Christian out of convience.

Divorce happens. Don't Judge.

What an ignornant comment.

My all time favorite Christmas album

Tennessee Christmas is home!

I just returned from Amy & Vince's Christmas Show at the Ryman !!! If ya'll get a chance, it's one of those can't miss shows that should be on your bucket list. She performed this song, among others * i wanted to hear it again. Ty Amy & Vince !!! Merry Christmas

Classic & very stellar!!!!! Great job, Amy!!!!!!

Omg! My childhood Christmas memories all flooding back.... 😄 😘
A beautiful song for a beautiful season.
❤ Im going to send it to my older sister who love this song since we were kids. She's gonna be very emotional.

One of my annual Christmas favorites! This entire album is so beautiful.

Im from Tennessee!❤

My favorite Christmas album.

I have lived in Florida, Iowa,Wyoming, Tennessee is the best Christmas in the world!! There is no place like home!!!

I susceptible

This is so true, I live in TN

Very pretty song. I saw Amy in concert 30 years ago with 6 other girls. We were all in our 20's. We had a wonderful time and Amy put on a super show.

Brings back great memories of living in TN. Even now living in the beautiful Rockies in Idaho (yes with more snow than I ever had on my roof in TN), I can honestly say I miss TN. But my Malamutes sure do love the snow!

This has never hit more home for me than the last year and this year I'm from Tennessee but one of my twin sons joined the Air force and lives in Washington state and he hasn't been home for Christmas in 3 yrs I miss that young man!!! Ugh makes me cry to listen to this but I've all ways loved it

This song make me cry when my sister went to a other 🗽 i am cry when that song just start this song 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

There's no better season than Christmas, Jesus birthday. Even better to celebrate it with a lot of country style. Keep your heart warm and joyful. Nice song!

My home state of Tennessee is a great place to live race a family and work. Go vols!! Go predators!! Go titans!!

You got it! I'm proud to be from the Volunteer State! We just got a new outhouse, a two-seater. My daddy runs moonshine and I married my first cousin.

Reminds me of my childhood, before the weight of the world had fallen on my family. Oh to go back to those days....

My very favorite !!!

This was the first cassette I ever loved, mostly because my mom played it all the time around Christmas. The album will always have a special place in my heart! <3

One of my favorite Christmas albums of all times. I remember the year it came out, I was attending Oral Roberts University. I was walking across campus listening to it on my walkman and one of my best friends started telling me about this great Christmas album she had just bought...it was Amy's album. I never fail to get misty eyed when I hear Tennessee Christmas.

This song almost makes me miss home. Almost. God bless Amy Grant.

This is my first Christmas away from home as an adult. Time to start my own traditions with my own family... this album has been my favorite since I was like 3. 20+ years now and will continue. Happy Holidays!

I've been an Amy Grant and an Iron Maiden Fan for Decades !!!

👍 \m/

my mom likes amy grant

thats rude 65 dislike

love this song
sue!

that is so true
am i right, guys?

I love this Christmas album by Amy Grant. I'm American...never been to Tennessee. I'm from the west coast...however I adore this song.

There is another version which is the "official" Amy Grant video. I like this better because this is the way I remember hearing it on the radio. Love this.

Got this the year it came out and it became the anthems for my children growing up. Jesus never sees His birthday celebrated in our home without Amy.

This is such a nice song. I like the version of Grant&Forsyth better though.

love the song it bring out Christmas in all of us

I Love. This song reminds me. Of my daughter Wendy

i heard this song in a store and liked it, made me feel loke i was in tenesse even tho i never been there, bit of a sad song but it is good still

I literally just moved to Tennessee from Colorado and this hits me in the feels

Welcome home to TN!

Welcome to TN!!

I feel the same way

There is something special about Amy Grant.  There always has been.  Her songs are true gifts. Amy and her songs have certainly helped me through some tough times. She is a treasured blessing.

I like the the song but the people who made all west chorus at my school is doing this and I like their way a little bit more

And I from Tennessee

+Brandon McDonald I'm in Tennessee . I even had to sing this in a Christmas play which my mom made me be in and I really didn't want to but I did it.

I completely agree Addi.. Certain CD'S just have a place in our Christmas hearts.. Enjoy the Holidays.. I live in Arizona so send some snow :)

I just love Amy Grant she does a good job on this song.

Love this album...Amy and Gary harmonize so good together

This album has been a Christmas tradition in my family for as long as I can remember. It's not Christmas until I listen to it!

Addi Forras me too! !!

Same here! I love it.

Agreed! My all-time fave Xmas album. So very reminiscent of childhood Christmas-time

Addi Forras yesss!

Same with my family listening at Christmas time and in the car during the holidays

This is the song that is the reason I can't wait to move to Tennessee

My whole family loves this song <3

My first Christmas without my Momma! She loved this song and played it every year! I was out Christmas shopping with my husband yesterday and this song came on in a store, I completely lost it right there in the store! I needed to come home and listen to it again! I'm not looking forward to Christmas this year or any year to come! This one's for you Mom! I love you!

God bless you, this is my mother's favorite too. I can't imagine Christmas without her.  Thank you for reminding me how much I am thankful to have her around.  But please know, a mother's spirit never leaves us.  Merry Christmas!

Im sorry for your loss Katie. This is my first year living in Tenn and where my dad passed away this past July. Play this often and keep the memories of your mom alive.

Oh, Katie. All peace with you. Your Mom WOULD want you to remember her, and look forward each year to remembering the love you shared together. "The love circles around us", and she reached out to you to let you know she's here for you, still in that circle. May you find her today in a special way.

You get it...maybe this is the last Christmas without the gifts around our tree is our family. So much deeper than Amy ever intended it to be.

Our Family has enjoyed these songs every Christmas for nearly 20
years.  I remember seeing the Christmas special from which the
album comes.

Amy's song brings back nice memories of my time in Johnson City, TN at ETSU during the 80's. Thanks, Amy.

Favorite Christmas song EVER

This album is part of our family Christmas tradition. Every year, on Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving, we all gather and setup our Christmas tree, lights and decorations. I make my famous batch of good hot cocoa, and we blare this album through the house, everyone singing along at the top of our lungs. This album is the ABSOLUTE BEST EVER!

Christmas is over but I'm already looking forward to the next one

Its back. enjoy and God bless.

I planted pines in my backyard (Afghan pines grow in AZ) so with a little fake snow my kids are going to get Christmas Story in the desert.

I don't live in TN, but I have listened to this song every year since I was a child. It never gets old nor dull. I start with this then move onto to Emmanuel. Childhood memories are what get me through Christmas.

This is my favorite Christmas song still to this day!

Yay! East TN, born & bred...UT Grad...Christmas theme song...and Amy Grant's from here too. BAM!! Magic! :O

Go Big Orange !

I sang this for my chorus winter Christmas concert

 When will we see "Log Cabin Christmas" by Charlene Gordon from 1986?  I'd love to see the video that was shown on CMT, and TNN, back in 1986.

Why must we dispute bible verses @ each other? cant we just enjoy the song?

Seriously.

You tell em, Matt!!

Religion or faith is something personal. It relates ourself and God in a particular relationship. No one can bother who should be someone's trust to be his guidance.

I do not want to come to the light? I follow Jesus, I am saved. Are you? You dont seem to take much notice of what Jesus said? I know you can quote the Bible but have you been born again ?

cathmay62 does not want to come to the Light! Why? Christ tells us why: John3:19.

There you go again!!! Substituting your frail, vain, carnal, worldly opinion for God's Word. Why? Why do you do that? Is it out of pure ignorance (1Cor7:10-11, Mark10:12, Rom7:3, Luke16:18, John7:24, 1Cor6:3), or something more malicious, like some of the reasons He gives for your failure to hear/believe/heed?

You are too full of yourself to have any room for God's Word. The reasons He gives for your failure to hear or heed Him are not good! (John 14:24, 8:47, 3:20, 12:40; 2Tim 4:3; 2Thes 2:11-12; Rom 1:28, 11:8; Heb6:4-6; 1John 3:8)

You didn't even read the referenced Scripture! You know more know God's Word than you know my address.

Wow how you like to replace God's Word with yourself! Why? Why do you mouth the sodomite mantra about God's Word being "hateful" when He says unrepentant adulteresses are His enemies (James4:4), when He promises to kill their children (Rev:23), when He calls them satan's (1John3:8) and promises His wrath (Eph5:6, Matt7:23) and says sodomites will join them in hell (1Cor6:9)?
All have sinned, but not all go to hell. Surely, the unrepentant do! (Heb10:26-27)
Believers believe God, why don't you?

And how do you know she is unrepentant. She got out of a horrible, abusive marriage. You don't know the whole story so you have no right to judge and you will be judged in return. That is what GOD'S WORD said. He has not given you the right to judge.

How dare you tell me I call God's Word rubbish. I'm just saying you don't get it. Go and look at what Jesus thought of the Pharisees, because you are sounding very much like them!

I am totally serious. To know Jesus Christ, you have the character of Jesus Christ. You with your hateful, judgemental attitude do not. God's Word is intended for our instruction. Jesus knew we would never be able to obey all of it, which is why He died. You have not grasped that concept. But I am saved, so it doesn't bother me. What does bother me is you possibly turning other people from Jesus with your vile attitude. I would say that bothers Him too.

You are full of yourself, and devoid of God's Word. (Mark8:38, Rev21:8)

Your obvious problem is that, like Eve and Jezebel, you don't take God's Word seriously. (1Cor6:9, Eph5:6)

How judgmental you are!!!!
Have you no better answer to God's question at Luke6:46 than Amy has? (1Cor7:10-11, Mark10:12, John14:24)

I would be very careful when you start calling God's Word "rubbish," and deeming to substitute your own carnal worldly opinion for God's Word!
That is the sin of satan.
God's Word is the Judge (John12:48) who tells us that unrepentant adulteresses like Amy go to hell with sodomites (1Cor6:9). Christ even promised to kill Jezebel's children for Amy's same refusal to repent of her adultery (Rev2:23)

Hush and enjoy the song.

Are you serious? (John1:1-14)

Wow, I really am scared for you. If you understood anything about the Gospel message, it is the ones who judge everyone else that Jesus gets most angry at. Read the Gospels again. And as I said in another comment, if you haven't sinned, feel free to keep posting your hatred. If you have, you are on very dangerous ground. (I do know the scripture, by the way. We are all sinners, I was being sarcastic. You have no right to judge anyone, we are ALL sinners.

Item72, I believe in Jesus Christ, His death on the cross is what will get me to heaven, not what I do or don't do. I would go and read the Scriptures again if I were you, especially Jesus' attitude toward the Pharisees who were very good at spouting judgement at everyone else and couldn't see the sin in themselves.

You are the one in a dicey place! Get to know Jesus Christ, come back and maybe I will take you seriously.

I don't worship Amy, I'm not even a fan. I do worship Jesus Christ, and believe me, you do not know Him. I know Him and the same Christ I know is not in you. (Have you actually understood the Gospel message? Amy Grant got out of a horrible situation the only way she could. You are the one who will be judged for your vile and unrepentant attitude, spouting hatred. Believe me, it is you I feel sorry for on Judgement Day.

Are you serious? You may know God's Word but you do not know Jesus Christ! Anyone who really knew Him could not write such rubbish. Spouting scripture will not get you into heaven and you have sinned as much as or more than Amy in your judgemental and hyprocritical attitude.

this guy is not a godly person he dose evil stuff to his church home he fucks the wifes that he can and loves hate and eating my stuff out of my wifes ass! he is so so sick

....even as Christians we do and will fall short, but 1 John says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgives us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The gospel is good news my friend of Gods great love not rules and regulations. Do I believe there are consequences for sins? Yes. God may not use Amy musically anymore, but He longs to still be in her life and who are you to say that He isn't in hers....or mine?

Item72....Well sure I do believe in Christ and I am a believer. How can you so quickly judge someone's walk with God? I've listened to Amy Grant growing up and loved her music. I believe she loves The Lord and was greatly used by God at that time to reach people. I never said that I dismissed her sin, on the contrary I was hurt by it and it effected me. I do not however believe that she is damned to hell because of her mistake. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Item72...Gods word says that they will know we are Christians by our love. I'm not suggesting that we accept sin, but I don't hear love in your comments.

She did a awesome job on this song....to bad she is a sellout to sorry pop music of today....people with no talent...no real bands like in the "80's
