#tim cratchit

A christmas carol x BATB

Belle: Isabel

Adam: Scrooge

Gaston: Jacob

Potts: Bob/miss Cratchit

Chip: Tim (Yep, here Chip is the one who went to heaven😞)

Lumiere: past

Cogsworth: present

Gifts Time! ✨🎁✨

Did this one while I was on my way to the United States! Decided to add the Cratchit kids because a grumpy old man is never complete without his reluctantly adopted kids XD

(note: I did cut a lyric because I didn’t know how I was going to change it).

(This takes place many years after the events of a Christmas Carol. Tiny Tim has grown up. Scrooge however is at his last minutes of life).

[Scrooge:]

Alone, I wait in the shadows

I count the hours till I can sleep

I dreamed a dream Tim stood by

It made him weep to know I die

Alone at the end of the day

Upon this wedding night, I pray

Take these children, my Lord, to thy embrace

And show them grace

God on high, hear my prayer

Take me now to thy care

Where You are, let me be

Take me now, take me there

Bring me home

Bring me home

(Marley’s spirit appears to Scrooge. His chains seemed to have vanished.)

[Marley:]

My love, I bless your name

My love, lay down your burden

You raised this child in love

[Scrooge:]

I am ready, Marley

At the end of my days

He’s the best of my life

[Marley:]

And you will be with God

[Tim:]

Scrooge! Uncle Scrooge, I do not understand!

Are you alright? They said you'd gone away

[Scrooge:]

Tim, my child, am I forgiven now?

Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day

[Tim:]

It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool

It's you who must forgive a thankless man

It's thanks to you that I am living

And again I lay down my life at your feet

[Scrooge: (talking over Tim) You were so young my child. No need for all that].

[Scrooge:]

Now you are here

Again, beside me

Now, I can die in peace

For now my life is blessed

[Tim:]

You will live!

Uncle, you're going to live!

It's too soon

Too soon to say goodbye

[Scrooge:]

Yes, Tim

Forbid me now to die

I'll obey... I will try...

On this page

I write my last confession

Read it well

When I, at last, am sleeping

It's the story

Of those who always loved you:

Your father did all he could for you

Through his safekeeping

[Scrooge dies]

(Tim and the rest of the Cratchit’s have processed the fact that he is gone now. Tim breaks down crying. The rest of the family cry too as they try to comfort Tim)

[Marley:]

Come with me

Where chains will never bind you

All your grief

At last, at last, behind you

Lord in Heaven

Look down on him in mercy

[Scrooge:]

Forgive me all my trespasses

And take me to Your glory

(Fan’s spirit appears behind Marley and joins him)

[Marley & Fan:]

Take my hand

And lead me to salvation

Take my love

For love is everlasting

[Scrooge, Marley & Fan:]

And remember

The truth that once was spoken:

To love another person is to see the face of God!

(Marley and Fan take Scrooge over to the afterlife. The Fezziwigs, The three ghosts, and all that loved Scrooge in life who have passed on were there to see him as well. They all sing as they are happy to see him. Scrooge died happy and with no chains).
