12 Days of Christmas Lyrics

Alright everybody, come on, let's celebrate Jesus!

On the first day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
He gave me the victory

On the second day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Two shoutin' shoes and He gave me the victory

On the third day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory

On the fourth day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory

On the fifth day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Five songs to sing
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory
On the sixth day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Six musicians playing
Five songs to sing
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory

On the seventh day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Seven days of praying
Six musicians playing
Five songs to sing
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory

On the eighth day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Eight angels watching
Seven days of praying
Six musicians playing
Five songs to sing
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory
On the ninth day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Nine wise deacons
Eight angels watching
Seven days of praying
Six musicians playing
Five songs to sing
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory

On the tenth day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Ten voices harmonizing
Nine wise deacons
Eight angels watching
Seven days of praying
Six musicians playing
Five songs to sing
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory

On the eleventh day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Eleven willing workers
Ten voices harmonizing
Nine wise deacons
Eight angels watching
Seven days of praying
Six musicians playing
Five songs to sing
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory
On the twelfth day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me
Twelve months to lift Him
Eleven willing workers
Ten voices harmonizing
Nine wise deacons
Eight angels watching
Seven days of praying
Six musicians playing
Five songs to sing
Four mighty missionaries
Three prayin' preachers
Two shoutin' shoes
And He gave me the victory
