And suddenly
there was with the angel
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.86
a multitude of the heavenly host
00:00:02.90\00:00:04.90
praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest,
00:00:04.93\00:00:08.64
and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
00:00:08.67\00:00:11.71
Celebrate this
special season by worshipping
00:00:14.88\00:00:17.51
our Savior and
King as we bring you
00:00:17.55\00:00:19.98
Christmas with Billy Blackwood.
00:00:20.02\00:00:22.28
Hark! the herald angels sing
00:00:28.49\00:00:32.93
"Glory to the newborn king"
00:00:32.96\00:00:37.30
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
00:00:37.33\00:00:41.74
God and sinners reconciled
00:00:41.77\00:00:46.04
Joyful all ye nations rise
00:00:46.07\00:00:50.51
Join the triumph of the skies
00:00:50.58\00:00:54.78
With angelic host proclaim
00:00:54.82\00:00:59.15
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
00:00:59.19\00:01:03.83
Hark! the herald angels sing
00:01:03.86\00:01:08.10
"Glory to the newborn king!"
00:01:08.13\00:01:12.30
Christ, by highest heaven adored
00:01:30.35\00:01:34.46
Christ the everlasting Lord
00:01:34.49\00:01:39.03
Late in time behold him come
00:01:39.06\00:01:43.43
Offspring of a virgin's womb
00:01:43.50\00:01:47.87
Veiled in
flesh, the God had seen
00:01:47.90\00:01:52.11
Hail the incarnate deity
00:01:52.14\00:01:56.54
Pleased, as man
with men to dwell
00:01:56.58\00:02:01.08
Jesus, our Emmanuel
00:02:01.12\00:02:05.39
Hark! the herald angels sing
00:02:05.42\00:02:09.62
"Glory to the newborn king!"
00:02:09.66\00:02:14.50
Hail the heaven
born prince of peace
00:02:28.88\00:02:34.38
Hail the son of righteousness
00:02:34.42\00:02:41.86
Light and life to all he brings
00:02:41.89\00:02:47.40
Risen with healing in his wings
00:02:47.46\00:02:54.20
Mild he lays his glory by
00:02:54.24\00:03:00.21
Born that may no more they die
00:03:00.28\00:03:05.81
Born to raise us son's on earth
00:03:05.85\00:03:11.29
Born to give us second birth
00:03:11.32\00:03:18.66
Hark! The herald angels sing,
00:03:18.69\00:03:24.13
"Glory to the new born King!"
00:03:24.17\00:03:31.01
I'm dreaming
00:03:46.45\00:03:50.09
Of a white Christmas
00:03:50.13\00:03:56.50
Just like the
ones I used to know
00:03:56.53\00:04:01.37
Where the treetops glisten
00:04:04.34\00:04:09.58
and children listen
00:04:09.61\00:04:14.22
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
00:04:14.25\00:04:20.16
I'm dreaming
00:04:24.13\00:04:27.50
Of a white Christmas
00:04:27.50\00:04:34.10
With every
Christmas card I write
00:04:34.14\00:04:41.54
May your days be
merry and bright!
00:04:41.58\00:04:47.85
And may all your
Christmases be white
00:04:51.09\00:04:57.29
I'm dreaming
00:05:01.36\00:05:04.90
Of a white Christmas
00:05:04.93\00:05:11.24
Just like the
ones I used to know
00:05:11.27\00:05:16.44
Where the treetops glisten
00:05:18.98\00:05:24.22
and children listen
00:05:24.29\00:05:28.89
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
00:05:28.92\00:05:34.76
I'm dreaming
00:05:38.80\00:05:42.27
Of a white Christmas
00:05:42.30\00:05:48.88
With every
Christmas card I write
00:05:48.91\00:05:53.42
May your days be
merry and bright!
00:05:56.42\00:06:02.86
And may all your
Christmases be white
00:06:05.93\00:06:12.47
Angels we have heard on high
00:06:40.90\00:06:44.63
Sweetly swinging o'er the plains
00:06:44.67\00:06:48.74
And the mountains in reply
00:06:48.77\00:06:52.71
Echoing their joyous strains!
00:06:52.74\00:06:56.75
Gloria
00:06:56.81\00:06:58.88
In excelsis Deo
00:07:04.92\00:07:08.66
Gloria
00:07:08.69\00:07:12.09
In excelsis Deo
00:07:16.53\00:07:20.27
Come to Bethlehem and see
00:07:28.64\00:07:32.65
Him whose birth the angels sing
00:07:32.68\00:07:36.55
Come, adore on bended knee
00:07:36.58\00:07:40.49
Christ the
Lord, the newborn King
00:07:40.56\00:07:44.46
Gloria
00:07:44.49\00:07:46.16
in excelsis Deo
00:07:52.70\00:07:56.37
Gloria
00:07:56.40\00:07:58.61
in excelsis Deo
00:08:04.81\00:08:10.82
In excelsis Deo
00:08:10.85\00:08:15.72
Well, you've
probably ever heard angels
00:08:25.83\00:08:27.37
we've heard of hike quite
like that but I promise you,
00:08:27.44\00:08:29.60
you won't forget it.
00:08:29.64\00:08:30.97
You know we get that
story from Luke's gospel.
00:08:31.01\00:08:33.58
He tells the
story of Christ birth,
00:08:33.61\00:08:35.68
and I'm just gonna read that
00:08:35.71\00:08:37.15
and you can follow along
with me in Luke Chapter 2
00:08:37.18\00:08:39.81
if you want to.
00:08:39.85\00:08:41.78
It's interesting to me
00:08:41.82\00:08:43.15
how the news was
disseminated that night
00:08:43.18\00:08:45.15
how the shepherds knew,
00:08:45.19\00:08:46.96
the angels knew,
the wise men knew
00:08:46.99\00:08:50.23
and obviously Mary knew.
00:08:50.26\00:08:54.30
But we read that
story and we find that
00:08:54.30\00:08:57.37
God was up to
something very miraculous.
00:08:57.43\00:09:01.00
In Luke Chapter 2, it reads,
00:09:01.04\00:09:06.04
"And it came to
pass in those days,
00:09:06.07\00:09:07.81
that a decree went
out from Caesar Augustus
00:09:07.84\00:09:09.74
that all the world
should be registered.
00:09:09.78\00:09:12.71
This since this first took place
00:09:12.75\00:09:14.18
while Quirinius
was governing Syria.
00:09:14.25\00:09:16.92
So all went to be registered,
everyone to his own city.
00:09:16.95\00:09:19.69
And Joseph also
went up from Galilee,
00:09:19.72\00:09:22.16
out of the city of Nazareth,
00:09:22.19\00:09:23.56
into Judea, to
the city of David,
00:09:23.59\00:09:25.26
which is called Bethlehem,
00:09:25.29\00:09:26.63
because he was of the
house and lineage of David,
00:09:26.66\00:09:28.83
to be registered with Mary,
00:09:28.86\00:09:30.37
his betrothed wife
who was with child.
00:09:30.40\00:09:33.47
So it was that
while they were there,
00:09:33.54\00:09:35.24
the days were completed
for her to be delivered.
00:09:35.27\00:09:38.37
And she brought
forth her firstborn son
00:09:38.41\00:09:40.48
and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes
00:09:40.51\00:09:42.41
and laid him in a manger,
00:09:42.44\00:09:43.78
because there was no
room for them in the inn.
00:09:43.85\00:09:47.35
Now they were
in the same country
00:09:47.42\00:09:48.78
shepherds living
out in the field,
00:09:48.82\00:09:50.39
keeping watch over
their flock by night.
00:09:50.42\00:09:52.22
And behold, an angel of
the Lord stood before them,
00:09:52.25\00:09:54.72
and the glory of the
Lord shone around them,
00:09:54.76\00:09:56.93
and they were greatly afraid.
00:09:56.96\00:09:58.63
Then the angel said to them,
"Do not be afraid, for behold,
00:09:58.66\00:10:02.10
I bring you good
tidings of great joy
00:10:02.13\00:10:04.87
which will be to all people.
00:10:04.90\00:10:06.23
For there is
born to you this day
00:10:06.27\00:10:07.90
in the city of David a
Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
00:10:07.94\00:10:13.04
And this will be a sign to you:
00:10:13.07\00:10:14.51
you will find a babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes
00:10:14.54\00:10:17.71
lying in a manger.
00:10:17.75\00:10:19.48
And suddenly there was a
great host with the angel,
00:10:19.51\00:10:22.78
a multitude singing
and praising God saying,
00:10:22.82\00:10:25.55
"Glory to God in the highest,
00:10:25.59\00:10:28.02
and on earth peace,
good will toward men."
00:10:28.06\00:10:34.20
You know, we have
such a treasure of carols,
00:10:34.23\00:10:38.67
of Christmas carols to tell
the story of Christ's birth.
00:10:38.70\00:10:43.17
Most of us have
grown up singing them.
00:10:43.20\00:10:48.04
I wonder if we
thought about the songs
00:10:48.08\00:10:52.38
that that were born that night.
00:10:52.41\00:10:54.48
Obviously, the song we just sang
00:10:54.52\00:10:57.59
"Angels we have heard on high.
00:10:57.62\00:10:58.95
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
00:10:58.99\00:11:00.39
Gloria Gloria in excelsis Deo,"
00:11:00.46\00:11:02.89
which is Latin for
Glory to God in the highest.
00:11:02.92\00:11:05.53
And the songs that have
been written since that night
00:11:05.56\00:11:08.53
to tell the story,
there are hundreds of them.
00:11:08.56\00:11:11.27
All sharing a facet of
that beautiful old story.
00:11:11.30\00:11:16.77
of that first Christmas
night, that first Noel.
00:11:16.81\00:11:21.54
This is one of my
favorite old carols.
00:11:21.58\00:11:23.31
I hope you enjoy it too.
00:11:23.35\00:11:24.68
The First Noel
00:11:34.36\00:11:38.63
The angel did say
00:11:38.66\00:11:42.76
Was to certain poor shepherds
00:11:42.80\00:11:47.17
In fields as they lay
00:11:47.20\00:11:51.31
In fields where they
00:11:51.34\00:11:55.71
Lay keeping their sheep
00:11:55.74\00:11:59.71
On a cold winter's night
00:11:59.75\00:12:04.02
That was so deep
00:12:04.09\00:12:08.42
Noel, Noel,
00:12:08.46\00:12:12.59
Noel, Noel
00:12:12.63\00:12:17.37
Born is the King of Israel
00:12:17.43\00:12:23.97
And then they looked
00:12:27.54\00:12:31.65
And saw a star
00:12:31.68\00:12:35.85
Shining in the east beyond
00:12:35.88\00:12:42.26
Them far
00:12:42.29\00:12:44.43
And to the earth
00:12:44.46\00:12:48.56
It gave great light
00:12:48.60\00:12:52.90
And so it continued
00:12:52.93\00:12:57.34
Both day and night
00:12:57.37\00:13:01.38
Noel, Noel,
00:13:01.41\00:13:05.68
Noel, Noel
00:13:05.71\00:13:10.79
Born is the King of Israel
00:13:10.82\00:13:16.59
Then let us all
00:13:20.96\00:13:25.07
With one accord
00:13:25.10\00:13:29.34
Sing praises
00:13:29.37\00:13:32.41
To our heavenly Lord
00:13:32.44\00:13:38.25
That hath made heaven
00:13:38.28\00:13:42.02
And earth of naught
00:13:42.05\00:13:46.62
And with his blood
00:13:46.65\00:13:51.29
Mankind has bought
00:13:51.33\00:13:55.76
Noel, Noel,
00:13:55.80\00:13:59.90
Noel, Noel
00:14:00.04\00:14:05.04
Born is the King
00:14:05.07\00:14:08.61
Of Israel
00:14:08.64\00:14:13.15
Noel, Noel,
00:14:13.18\00:14:17.42
Noel, Noel
00:14:17.49\00:14:22.62
Born is the King
00:14:22.66\00:14:26.59
Of Israel
00:14:26.63\00:14:31.43
It came upon
00:14:39.81\00:14:44.38
The midnight clear
00:14:44.41\00:14:48.08
That glorious song of old
00:14:48.12\00:14:55.99
From angels bending
00:14:56.02\00:15:00.93
Near the earth
00:15:00.96\00:15:03.97
To touch their harps of gold!
00:15:04.00\00:15:09.17
Peace on the earth,
00:15:12.21\00:15:15.94
Good will to men
00:15:15.98\00:15:20.02
From heaven's all gracious King!
00:15:20.05\00:15:25.15
The world in solemn
00:15:28.29\00:15:32.79
Stillness lay
00:15:32.83\00:15:36.20
To hear the angels sing
00:15:36.23\00:15:41.47
And ye beneath
00:15:52.85\00:15:56.52
Life's crushing load
00:15:56.55\00:16:00.72
Whose forms are bending low
00:16:00.79\00:16:06.19
Who toil along
00:16:09.20\00:16:13.34
The climbing way
00:16:13.37\00:16:17.61
With painful steps
00:16:17.64\00:16:21.14
And slow
00:16:21.18\00:16:22.51
Look now
00:16:25.41\00:16:27.65
For glad and golden hours
00:16:27.68\00:16:33.25
Come swiftly on the wing
00:16:33.29\00:16:38.73
Oh rest beside
00:16:41.86\00:16:45.87
The weary road
00:16:45.90\00:16:49.64
And hear
00:16:49.67\00:16:51.81
The angels sing
00:16:51.84\00:16:55.11
For lo! The days
00:17:06.12\00:17:10.46
Are hastening on
00:17:10.49\00:17:14.73
By prophet seen of old
00:17:14.76\00:17:20.67
When with the
ever-circling years
00:17:22.37\00:17:30.38
Shall come the time foretold
00:17:30.45\00:17:38.35
When the new heaven
00:17:38.39\00:17:42.96
And earth shall own
00:17:42.99\00:17:46.90
The Prince of Peace
00:17:46.93\00:17:51.20
Their King
00:17:51.23\00:17:54.94
And the whole world
00:17:54.97\00:17:58.91
Send back the song
00:17:58.94\00:18:03.08
Which now the angels sing
00:18:03.11\00:18:09.02
I love those old songs,
00:18:23.77\00:18:25.37
I hope you love
them as much as I do.
00:18:25.40\00:18:27.34
You know, I've actually
written a few Christmas songs
00:18:27.37\00:18:29.34
and they're all kind
of around the same theme.
00:18:29.37\00:18:33.98
They talk about
what Christmas really is.
00:18:34.01\00:18:35.84
You know, the world
seems to be focused on
00:18:35.88\00:18:37.91
Santa Claus and on reindeer
and on Frosty the Snowman
00:18:37.95\00:18:42.75
and you know whatever else,
00:18:42.78\00:18:45.25
but the real thing and
the real thing is Jesus,
00:18:45.29\00:18:48.16
the Christ in
Christmas is Jesus.
00:18:48.19\00:18:51.06
And I want to do a
couple of songs for you that,
00:18:51.09\00:18:52.73
that talk about
that very subject
00:18:52.76\00:18:54.86
and drive the point home.
00:18:54.93\00:18:56.30
This first one, you know,
00:18:56.33\00:18:58.27
as you're sitting there in
wherever you are right now,
00:18:58.30\00:19:01.34
wherever you're watching.
00:19:01.37\00:19:02.90
Probably no one's
watching you okay,
00:19:02.94\00:19:05.07
so you can just join
right in and sing along on this.
00:19:05.11\00:19:07.84
It doesn't matter how you sound,
00:19:07.88\00:19:09.24
we're not gonna mike you,
we're not gonna tell anybody,
00:19:09.28\00:19:11.31
okay, so just be our secret,
00:19:11.35\00:19:12.68
but I want you to
help me sing along on this.
00:19:12.71\00:19:14.28
This little chorus talks
about what Christmas really is
00:19:14.35\00:19:17.35
and it goes like this.
00:19:17.42\00:19:18.75
The Christ in Christmas is Jesus
00:19:18.79\00:19:22.09
The glowing glory is Jesus.
00:19:22.12\00:19:25.19
He's the holy and holiday
The Prince of Peace every day
00:19:25.23\00:19:28.86
The Christ in
Christmas is Jesus.
00:19:28.90\00:19:32.00
Okay.
00:19:32.03\00:19:33.37
Have you got that? Can
we do that one more time?
00:19:33.44\00:19:34.77
The Christ in Christmas is Jesus
00:19:34.80\00:19:38.07
The glowing glory is Jesus
00:19:38.11\00:19:41.21
He's the holy in holiday
The Prince of Peace every day
00:19:41.24\00:19:44.78
The Christ in
Christmas is Jesus.
00:19:44.81\00:19:47.92
A long time ago in Bethlehem
00:19:47.95\00:19:51.05
So the Holy Bible says
00:19:51.09\00:19:54.79
Stars shone
bright in the heavens
00:19:54.82\00:19:57.69
Over where the baby slept
00:19:57.73\00:20:01.00
But the star of the
show wasn't in the sky
00:20:01.03\00:20:04.27
On that first Christmas night
00:20:04.30\00:20:07.64
The baby boy in the manger
00:20:07.67\00:20:10.87
Was the one who
created the light
00:20:10.91\00:20:13.74
Oh, the Christ in
Christmas is Jesus
00:20:13.78\00:20:17.68
The glowing glory is Jesus
00:20:17.71\00:20:20.68
He's the holy in holiday
The Prince of Peace every day
00:20:20.72\00:20:24.29
The Christ in Christmas is Jesus
00:20:24.32\00:20:27.52
Today there are
those who still don't know
00:20:27.56\00:20:30.49
Who the Holy Christ child is
00:20:30.53\00:20:33.96
They celebrate
the holiday spirit
00:20:34.00\00:20:36.70
Without realizing which is
00:20:36.73\00:20:40.00
But the star of the
show isn't Santa Clause
00:20:40.07\00:20:43.47
Or he's roving those reindeer
00:20:43.54\00:20:47.11
Jesus is the Christ of Christmas
00:20:47.14\00:20:49.84
And he's the
reason the season is here
00:20:49.88\00:20:52.91
Oh, the Christ in
Christmas is Jesus
00:20:52.95\00:20:56.72
The glowing glory is Jesus
00:20:56.75\00:20:59.82
He's the holy in holiday
The Prince of Peace every day
00:20:59.85\00:21:03.26
The Christ in Christmas is Jesus
00:21:03.29\00:21:06.39
Oh, the Christ in
Christmas is Jesus
00:21:06.43\00:21:09.80
The glowing glory is Jesus
00:21:09.83\00:21:12.77
He's the holy in holiday
The Prince of Peace every day
00:21:12.80\00:21:16.27
The Christ in Christmas is Jesus
00:21:16.30\00:21:19.21
Yes, the Christ
in Christmas is Jesus
00:21:19.24\00:21:22.58
Yes, the Christ
in Christmas is Jesus
00:21:22.61\00:21:26.41
Wow, you sound
really good singing that.
00:21:29.45\00:21:32.09
I'm kidding, I can't hear you.
But you really did, I'm sure.
00:21:32.12\00:21:34.56
I hope you know that Jesus
is the reason for the season.
00:21:34.59\00:21:37.09
A lot of us have
heard that phrase
00:21:37.13\00:21:39.26
and we realize that,
00:21:39.29\00:21:41.26
that the Christ in
Christmas is Jesus.
00:21:41.30\00:21:43.16
He's really what
the season is all about.
00:21:43.20\00:21:45.00
Well, this is
another one of my songs
00:21:45.03\00:21:46.57
and it's about that
same topic and it's called,
00:21:46.60\00:21:50.14
"Jesus is the
reason for the season."
00:21:50.17\00:21:51.91
Hope you enjoy it.
00:21:51.94\00:21:53.31
At the center of time
00:22:03.52\00:22:08.26
Stands a manger
00:22:08.29\00:22:10.13
A man and his wife
00:22:13.40\00:22:17.60
A baby boy
00:22:17.63\00:22:21.57
Though the world
00:22:21.60\00:22:24.27
Had no room for this baby
00:22:24.31\00:22:29.28
The stranger he came
00:22:29.31\00:22:34.12
To make room for us
00:22:34.18\00:22:38.12
Through the ages
00:22:45.33\00:22:48.20
Men tell of his story
00:22:48.23\00:22:52.07
How God in His love
00:22:54.90\00:22:59.44
Became a man
00:22:59.47\00:23:03.08
How He willingly gave
00:23:03.11\00:23:08.38
His power
00:23:08.42\00:23:11.02
His glory
00:23:11.05\00:23:13.79
That we might become like Him
00:23:13.86\00:23:19.26
Oh, Jesus is the
reason for the season
00:23:22.30\00:23:28.84
Jesus is the
reason for the season
00:23:32.07\00:23:37.31
Though hues have come
00:23:40.58\00:23:42.88
And hues have gone
00:23:42.92\00:23:45.02
God's gift of love
00:23:45.05\00:23:47.12
Lives on and on
00:23:47.16\00:23:49.69
Yes, Jesus is the
reason for the season
00:23:49.72\00:23:56.40
There's a thrill in the air
00:24:04.54\00:24:09.11
Each December
00:24:09.14\00:24:11.18
As families come
from far and near
00:24:14.22\00:24:21.86
There's a joy in our hearts
00:24:21.89\00:24:26.70
As we stop to remember
00:24:26.73\00:24:32.03
The reason
00:24:32.07\00:24:34.14
The seasons here
00:24:34.20\00:24:40.54
Oh, Jesus is the
reason for the season
00:24:40.58\00:24:46.78
Yes, Jesus is the
reason for the season
00:24:49.85\00:24:55.12
Though hues have come
00:24:58.83\00:25:00.96
And hues have gone
00:25:00.96\00:25:03.06
God's gift of
love lives on and on
00:25:03.10\00:25:07.54
Yes, Jesus is the
reason for the season
00:25:07.57\00:25:13.27
Though hues have
come and hues have gone
00:25:16.38\00:25:21.25
God's gift of
love lives on and on
00:25:21.28\00:25:25.75
Yes, Jesus is the
reason for the season
00:25:25.79\00:25:33.03
Silent night
00:26:19.57\00:26:25.65
holy night
00:26:25.68\00:26:30.89
All is calm
00:26:30.92\00:26:35.92
all is bright
00:26:35.96\00:26:42.66
Round yon Virgin
00:26:42.70\00:26:48.67
Mother and Child
00:26:48.70\00:26:54.48
Holy infant so tender and mild
00:26:54.51\00:27:01.85
Sleep in heavenly peace
00:27:05.15\00:27:11.79
Sleep in heavenly peace
00:27:17.93\00:27:25.34
Silent night
00:27:31.11\00:27:36.79
Holy night
00:27:36.82\00:27:40.49
Son of God
00:27:43.86\00:27:46.46
Love's pure light
00:27:49.40\00:27:55.20
Radiant beam
00:27:55.24\00:28:00.51
from Thy holy face
00:28:00.54\00:28:04.51
With the dawn
00:28:07.55\00:28:12.05
Of redeeming grace
00:28:12.09\00:28:18.86
Jesus Lord
00:28:18.89\00:28:23.87
At Thy birth
00:28:23.90\00:28:28.60
Jesus Lord
00:28:31.64\00:28:35.81
At Thy birth
00:28:35.84\00:28:38.65
Silent night
00:28:49.36\00:28:52.36
Holy night
00:28:55.60\00:28:58.67
Shepherds quake
00:29:01.87\00:29:07.41
At the sight
00:29:07.44\00:29:13.05
Glories stream
00:29:13.08\00:29:18.09
From heaven afar
00:29:18.12\00:29:24.89
Heavenly hosts
00:29:24.93\00:29:29.83
Sing hallelujah
00:29:29.86\00:29:33.57
Christ the Savior is born!
00:29:36.57\00:29:42.98
Christ the Savior is born!
00:29:48.98\00:29:54.86
You know that
night in Bethlehem,
00:30:22.18\00:30:26.19
it was a night like no other.
00:30:26.22\00:30:28.36
I sometimes wonder
00:30:28.39\00:30:32.46
what the angels
must have been thinking.
00:30:32.49\00:30:37.50
The angels had been
in the presence of God
00:30:37.53\00:30:39.33
since time eternal.
00:30:39.37\00:30:43.94
They had worship the Lord.
00:30:43.97\00:30:47.64
They had intimate
fellowship if you can,
00:30:47.68\00:30:52.55
if you will with
the Father, and the Son,
00:30:52.58\00:30:55.85
and the Holy Spirit.
00:30:55.88\00:30:57.42
And now all of a sudden,
00:30:57.45\00:31:00.76
for the first time
from eternity past,
00:31:00.79\00:31:04.43
something was
getting ready to happen
00:31:04.46\00:31:05.79
that they just really
couldn't quite understand.
00:31:05.83\00:31:09.93
God, the Son
00:31:09.96\00:31:13.50
was going to
become a human baby.
00:31:13.54\00:31:18.31
Think about that.
00:31:18.34\00:31:19.67
Think about that.
00:31:19.71\00:31:22.28
You know, I guess the
picture I get in my mind,
00:31:22.31\00:31:24.25
maybe this is just me,
00:31:24.28\00:31:25.61
I can't really support
this necessarily from scripture
00:31:25.65\00:31:28.22
but just for me
I get a picture of,
00:31:28.25\00:31:29.82
of the angels
just kind of leaning
00:31:29.85\00:31:32.99
over the balconies of heaven...
00:31:33.02\00:31:37.29
holding their
breath waiting to witness
00:31:37.33\00:31:43.00
what was about to happen.
00:31:43.03\00:31:44.37
You know as a
kid, like most kids,
00:31:48.64\00:31:51.77
we anticipate Christmas morning,
00:31:51.81\00:31:53.84
we rush to the living room
or wherever the tree is set up
00:31:53.91\00:31:57.91
and the presents are
and we rip open the presents
00:31:57.95\00:32:00.52
and we, you know, we
want to see what we got
00:32:00.55\00:32:03.25
and some new toy or new doll
00:32:03.28\00:32:06.76
or whatever it
is and, and we just,
00:32:06.79\00:32:10.43
we take such
delight in un-packaging
00:32:10.46\00:32:14.50
and ripping the bows
off and the paper off
00:32:14.56\00:32:17.43
and getting the box open
and seeing what's in there,
00:32:17.47\00:32:21.24
and the
anticipation of all of that
00:32:21.27\00:32:24.27
is part and parcel to Christmas.
00:32:24.31\00:32:28.58
Because I think,
maybe that's exactly
00:32:28.61\00:32:30.11
what the angels were doing
00:32:30.15\00:32:31.61
that silent
night, that holy night,
00:32:31.65\00:32:33.88
is they were watching as the bow
00:32:33.92\00:32:38.92
and the paper if you
will, the packaging came off
00:32:38.95\00:32:45.79
and the gift of God
was born as a baby...
00:32:45.83\00:32:50.60
as a baby,
00:32:53.67\00:32:55.00
a helpless human baby.
00:32:55.04\00:32:56.64
The King of the
universe, the King of kings,
00:32:56.67\00:32:59.27
the Lord of lords
00:32:59.31\00:33:02.08
becoming a helpless human baby.
00:33:02.11\00:33:07.85
Clothed with our humanity,
clothed with our frailty,
00:33:07.88\00:33:13.05
clothed with our weakness.
00:33:13.09\00:33:14.82
You know,
theologians and common people
00:33:14.86\00:33:20.20
for 2000 years have tried to,
00:33:20.23\00:33:23.37
tried to wrap their minds
00:33:23.43\00:33:25.23
around the
magnitude of the incarnation.
00:33:25.27\00:33:31.91
And it's probably futile,
you know we're a finite mind,
00:33:31.94\00:33:34.51
trying to comprehend
the infinite mind of God.
00:33:34.54\00:33:37.21
That God would become
a helpless human baby.
00:33:41.92\00:33:46.15
You know that night
I'm sure, well, I'm sure,
00:33:50.96\00:33:55.40
I don't what
understanding the angels had
00:33:55.43\00:33:57.97
but they were
probably just in absolute awe
00:33:58.00\00:34:04.97
as they watched
Jesus born of a virgin.
00:34:05.01\00:34:09.94
I love the old hymns
that are written particularly
00:34:14.48\00:34:16.69
about that night.
00:34:16.72\00:34:18.05
Like that one
Silent night, holy night!
00:34:18.09\00:34:21.86
Son of God love's pure light,
00:34:21.89\00:34:24.03
radiant beams from Thy holy face
00:34:24.06\00:34:26.90
with the dawn
of redeeming grace.
00:34:26.93\00:34:29.50
What great words.
00:34:29.53\00:34:31.07
Because you know that was
00:34:31.10\00:34:32.43
really the whole
point of Christmas.
00:34:32.47\00:34:34.44
That was really the whole point
00:34:34.47\00:34:37.07
is God's redeeming
grace because we were all,
00:34:37.11\00:34:40.28
face it folks, we were
all helpless and hopeless.
00:34:40.34\00:34:42.94
We were all bound for
an eternity apart from God,
00:34:42.98\00:34:46.21
separated from
Him, lost in our sin.
00:34:46.25\00:34:49.48
But God had a plan,
00:34:53.32\00:34:55.36
from before the foundation
of the world God had a plan.
00:34:55.39\00:34:57.76
His plan was to come Himself
00:34:57.79\00:35:02.20
and to live a
sinless life in our place,
00:35:02.23\00:35:06.74
to die an atoning
death in our place.
00:35:06.77\00:35:10.97
To pay our sin debt in full
00:35:11.01\00:35:14.68
and to rise
again on the third day
00:35:14.71\00:35:17.68
to live the life
that we couldn't live,
00:35:17.71\00:35:20.15
to pay the debt we couldn't pay.
00:35:20.22\00:35:23.59
That's what the Silent
Holy Night was all about.
00:35:23.62\00:35:26.59
God's redeeming grace,
00:35:26.62\00:35:29.26
He redeemed you
and He redeemed me.
00:35:29.29\00:35:32.93
Those of us who placed
00:35:32.96\00:35:34.30
our faith and
trust in Jesus Christ
00:35:34.30\00:35:36.00
and what He did on
the cross are redeemed,
00:35:36.03\00:35:39.77
bought back
00:35:39.80\00:35:43.04
from our sin and the punishment,
00:35:43.07\00:35:47.78
the consequences.
00:35:47.81\00:35:49.31
We're bought back.
00:35:49.34\00:35:51.21
We're redeemed by
God's redeeming grace.
00:35:51.25\00:35:54.85
His grace giving us
what we don't deserve.
00:35:54.88\00:36:00.12
I love to say that
God's grace is God giving us
00:36:00.19\00:36:02.29
what we don't deserve
00:36:02.32\00:36:03.66
and His mercy is
withholding what we do deserve.
00:36:03.69\00:36:06.26
And maybe you've
never thought of it
00:36:06.29\00:36:07.60
but grace can
also be an acronym.
00:36:07.66\00:36:09.56
G-R-A-C-E God's
Riches At Christ's Expense.
00:36:09.60\00:36:14.04
That's what the
cross is all about.
00:36:14.07\00:36:15.77
That's what
Christmas is all about,
00:36:15.80\00:36:17.31
because we
couldn't had the cross
00:36:17.34\00:36:18.67
if we hadn't had Christmas.
00:36:18.71\00:36:21.11
So that Silent
night that Holy night.
00:36:21.14\00:36:24.18
The Son of God
00:36:24.25\00:36:25.88
loves pure light
became a baby in a manger.
00:36:25.91\00:36:31.52
And as I sang the song earlier
00:36:31.55\00:36:34.09
that I wrote the
Christ in Christmas is Jesus.
00:36:34.16\00:36:36.76
The baby boy in the manger
00:36:36.83\00:36:38.16
was the one who
created the star that night,
00:36:38.19\00:36:40.90
that shone so brightly
that it guided wise men
00:36:40.93\00:36:43.73
from scholars believe
thousands of miles away
00:36:43.77\00:36:48.14
and led them
eventually to the place
00:36:48.17\00:36:51.91
where Jesus was that they
might bring gifts of gold,
00:36:51.94\00:36:54.78
frankincense and myrrh
to worship the King of kings
00:36:54.81\00:36:58.48
and the Lord of lords.
00:36:58.51\00:37:01.82
And you know that's
really what we're called to do.
00:37:01.85\00:37:03.82
That's really our purpose,
00:37:03.85\00:37:05.19
if you want to
know what God's purpose
00:37:05.22\00:37:06.55
for your life is ultimately.
00:37:06.59\00:37:08.89
Our purpose is to worship Him,
00:37:08.92\00:37:11.46
just to give Him glory
with our lives, with our time,
00:37:11.49\00:37:14.36
with our talent, with our
gifts with who all that we are
00:37:14.36\00:37:19.70
to worship the King of
kings and the Lord of lords.
00:37:19.73\00:37:26.44
You know the angels
are still worshipping Him
00:37:26.47\00:37:28.28
and we have an opportunity
00:37:28.31\00:37:31.61
as believers in Christ
to worship Him every day.
00:37:31.65\00:37:33.82
There's another song that
talks about that night that...
00:37:36.89\00:37:38.82
It's just another
fabulous song, a great lyric
00:37:38.85\00:37:43.53
and a powerful message
00:37:43.56\00:37:46.36
and it takes
this a step further.
00:37:46.39\00:37:48.13
Not only does it tell
the story of that holy night,
00:37:48.16\00:37:52.47
but it takes it a step further
00:37:52.50\00:37:54.60
in proclaiming
the gospel which says,
00:37:54.64\00:37:57.17
"Not only are we
to love the Lord,
00:37:57.21\00:37:58.64
but we are to love each other."
00:37:58.67\00:38:01.98
And, and the second
verse of this song was written
00:38:02.01\00:38:04.28
at a time when there was a
lot of tension in our country,
00:38:04.31\00:38:07.65
there is tension
in our country today.
00:38:07.68\00:38:09.72
And these words are
never more applicable
00:38:09.75\00:38:14.19
than they are today.
00:38:14.22\00:38:16.46
And I hope you will listen
and apply them to your heart
00:38:16.49\00:38:19.49
and your life and
your relationships,
00:38:19.53\00:38:21.83
and in so doing that your light
00:38:21.86\00:38:23.87
will so shine before men
that they will give God glory
00:38:23.90\00:38:26.94
and you will be a worshipper
of the Most High God, listen.
00:38:26.97\00:38:32.84
O holy night
00:38:58.57\00:39:01.87
The stars are brightly shining
00:39:01.90\00:39:07.44
It is the night of
the dear Savior's birth
00:39:07.51\00:39:13.18
Long lay the world
00:39:16.82\00:39:20.49
In sin and error pining
00:39:20.52\00:39:25.46
Till He appeared
00:39:25.49\00:39:28.00
And the soul felt its worth
00:39:28.03\00:39:34.67
A thrill of hope
00:39:34.70\00:39:38.11
The weary world rejoices
00:39:38.14\00:39:42.81
For yonder breaks
00:39:42.84\00:39:46.28
A new and glorious morn
00:39:46.31\00:39:51.19
Fall on your knees
00:39:51.22\00:39:56.46
O hear
00:39:59.03\00:40:02.20
The angels' voices
00:40:02.23\00:40:07.24
O night divine
00:40:07.30\00:40:14.64
O night
00:40:14.68\00:40:18.48
When Christ was born
00:40:18.51\00:40:22.85
O night
00:40:22.88\00:40:26.86
O holy night
00:40:26.92\00:40:34.76
O night divine
00:40:34.83\00:40:38.13
Truly He taught
00:40:52.71\00:40:56.02
Us to love one another
00:40:56.05\00:41:01.52
His law is love
00:41:01.56\00:41:04.13
And His gospel is peace
00:41:04.16\00:41:10.77
Chains shall He break
00:41:10.83\00:41:14.47
For the slave is our brother
00:41:14.50\00:41:19.97
And in His name
00:41:20.04\00:41:22.64
All oppression shall cease
00:41:22.68\00:41:28.92
Sweet hymns of joy
00:41:28.95\00:41:32.32
In grateful chorus raise we
00:41:32.35\00:41:37.03
With all our heart
00:41:37.09\00:41:40.36
We praise His holy name
00:41:40.40\00:41:45.43
Christ is the Lord
00:41:45.47\00:41:50.14
Oh, praise His name forever
00:41:53.31\00:41:58.01
His power
00:42:01.68\00:42:05.39
And glory ever
00:42:05.42\00:42:13.16
More proclaim
00:42:13.19\00:42:17.67
His power
00:42:17.70\00:42:21.44
And glory ever
00:42:21.47\00:42:29.34
More proclaim
00:42:29.38\00:42:34.32
Fall on your knees
00:42:34.35\00:42:42.26
O hear the angels' voices
00:42:42.29\00:42:50.10
O night divine
00:42:50.13\00:42:57.81
O night
00:42:57.84\00:43:01.51
When Christ was born
00:43:01.54\00:43:06.08
O night Divine
00:43:06.11\00:43:11.99
O night
00:43:15.12\00:43:20.30
O holy night
00:43:20.33\00:43:25.67
On that first
Christmas 2000 years ago,
00:43:50.79\00:43:54.83
shepherds came from the fields
00:43:54.86\00:43:56.53
in response to the call
of the angel of the Lord,
00:43:56.60\00:44:00.54
and wise men from the east
00:44:00.57\00:44:03.17
began a journey following a star
00:44:03.20\00:44:05.17
that will ultimately lead them
00:44:05.21\00:44:06.54
to the Christ
child, the Messiah.
00:44:06.57\00:44:10.75
Today the call still goes out
to all who would be faithful.
00:44:10.78\00:44:14.78
Come and be behold Him,
00:44:14.82\00:44:17.99
born the king of angels,
00:44:18.02\00:44:20.26
come let us adore
Him, come let us adore Him.
00:44:20.29\00:44:24.89
Oh, come let us adore Him,
00:44:24.93\00:44:29.33
Christ the Lord.
00:44:29.36\00:44:32.50
That's the call to us today.
00:44:32.53\00:44:34.54
O come, all ye faithful
00:44:37.21\00:44:41.74
Joyful and triumphant
00:44:41.78\00:44:45.58
O Come ye O come ye,
00:44:45.61\00:44:49.78
To Bethlehem
00:44:49.82\00:44:54.62
Come and behold Him
00:44:54.66\00:44:58.93
Born the King of angels
00:44:58.96\00:45:02.73
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:02.76\00:45:06.84
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:06.87\00:45:11.11
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:11.14\00:45:15.91
Christ the Lord
00:45:15.94\00:45:19.95
Sing, choirs of angels,
00:45:20.02\00:45:24.19
sing in exultation
00:45:24.22\00:45:27.72
Oh, sing, all ye citizens
00:45:27.76\00:45:31.86
Of heaven above!
00:45:31.89\00:45:35.46
Glory to God
00:45:36.46\00:45:39.73
all glory in the highest
00:45:39.77\00:45:44.27
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:44.31\00:45:48.34
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:48.38\00:45:52.38
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:52.41\00:45:57.15
Christ the Lord
00:45:57.19\00:46:00.79
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
00:46:03.39\00:46:07.56
Born this happy morning
00:46:07.60\00:46:11.50
O Jesus
00:46:11.53\00:46:13.67
To Thee be all glory given
00:46:13.74\00:46:19.14
Word of the Father
00:46:20.78\00:46:25.21
Now in flesh appearing
00:46:25.25\00:46:29.15
O come, let us adore Him
00:46:29.18\00:46:33.49
O come, let us adore Him
00:46:33.56\00:46:37.83
O come, let us adore Him
00:46:37.86\00:46:42.90
Christ the Lord
00:46:42.93\00:46:48.80
O come, let us adore Him
00:46:48.84\00:46:53.94
Christ the Lord
00:46:53.98\00:47:00.38
Today we come to adore Him
00:47:06.79\00:47:09.16
because He came,
00:47:09.19\00:47:12.59
He came as the
word of the Father
00:47:12.63\00:47:15.66
in flesh appear.
00:47:15.70\00:47:17.83
He came to be
Emmanuel, God with us,
00:47:17.87\00:47:24.01
He came taking on
the form of a servant
00:47:24.04\00:47:28.31
humbling Himself,
00:47:28.34\00:47:30.18
becoming obedient under death.
00:47:30.25\00:47:32.85
Even the death of the cross,
00:47:32.88\00:47:34.82
because He came we
can know the Father,
00:47:34.85\00:47:37.72
because He came, we
could have everlasting life,
00:47:37.75\00:47:41.59
and because He came,
00:47:41.62\00:47:43.36
we can celebrate
who we are in Him
00:47:43.43\00:47:45.86
and who He is in us.
00:47:45.89\00:47:47.23
There is joy because He came.
00:47:47.30\00:47:51.07
Praise the Lord.
00:47:51.10\00:47:53.90
Joy to the
world! The Lord is come
00:47:53.94\00:47:58.54
Let earth receive her King
00:47:58.57\00:48:03.14
Let every heart Prepare Him room
00:48:03.18\00:48:08.25
And heaven and nature
sing And heaven and nature sing
00:48:08.28\00:48:12.92
And heaven and
heaven and nature sing
00:48:12.95\00:48:18.03
Joy to the
earth, the Savior reigns
00:48:18.06\00:48:22.36
Let men their songs employ
00:48:22.40\00:48:27.17
While fields and
floods Rocks, hills and plains
00:48:27.24\00:48:31.84
Repeat the sounding
joy Repeat the sounding joy
00:48:31.87\00:48:36.78
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy
00:48:36.85\00:48:41.45
No more let
sins and sorrows grow
00:48:53.63\00:48:58.10
Nor thorns infest the ground
00:48:58.13\00:49:01.37
He comes to make
His blessings flow
00:49:05.57\00:49:10.08
Far as the curse is
found Far as the curse is found
00:49:10.11\00:49:14.68
Far as, far as,
the curse is found
00:49:14.72\00:49:19.15
He rules the world
00:49:24.83\00:49:29.06
with truth and grace
00:49:29.10\00:49:34.04
And makes the nations prove
00:49:34.07\00:49:40.28
The glories of His righteousness
00:49:44.18\00:49:49.35
And wonders of His
love And wonders of His love
00:49:49.38\00:49:54.19
And wonders, wonders of His love
00:49:54.26\00:49:58.93
And wonders, wonders of His love
00:49:58.96\00:50:05.10
His love
00:50:13.44\00:50:15.08
His love
00:50:23.12\00:50:24.92
Amen, amen.
00:50:39.77\00:50:41.87
Praise the Lord.
00:50:41.90\00:50:43.24
Praise the Lord for
His unspeakable gift.
00:50:43.27\00:50:46.74
You know, being a
part of the body of Christ
00:50:46.81\00:50:49.74
affords us the opportunity
of being in relationship
00:50:49.78\00:50:53.08
with precious
brothers and sisters
00:50:53.11\00:50:54.65
who are a blessing to know.
00:50:54.68\00:50:56.62
One such person in my life
is a friend of mine named Bill.
00:50:56.65\00:51:00.06
In 1999, he wrote
this following little piece
00:51:00.09\00:51:03.53
that instantly became one of
my favorite Christmas readings.
00:51:03.56\00:51:07.83
And I share it and hopes
00:51:07.86\00:51:09.66
that it will minister to
you as much as it has me.
00:51:09.70\00:51:14.64
It begins with
a Christmas Story,
00:51:14.67\00:51:16.00
"And she brought
forth her firstborn son
00:51:16.04\00:51:17.87
and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes
00:51:17.91\00:51:20.14
and laid him in the manger."
00:51:20.18\00:51:21.94
Luke 2:7.
00:51:21.98\00:51:26.98
Bill writes, you
know, God has an amazing way
00:51:27.02\00:51:29.05
of choosing the
undesirable things of earth
00:51:29.08\00:51:32.79
and placing His beauty there.
00:51:32.82\00:51:36.06
The presence of God
changes our perceptions.
00:51:36.09\00:51:40.36
It opens our eyes
00:51:40.40\00:51:41.70
from the physical
into the spiritual.
00:51:41.73\00:51:45.77
It illuminates our vision.
00:51:45.80\00:51:49.14
God takes the ordinary
and makes it extraordinary,
00:51:49.17\00:51:55.14
the natural supernatural,
00:51:55.18\00:51:58.38
the worthless priceless.
00:51:58.41\00:52:03.42
So it was that
first night in Bethlehem,
00:52:03.49\00:52:05.69
only the God of the universe
would have chosen a manger
00:52:05.72\00:52:11.53
as the place to bring
His Son into the world.
00:52:11.56\00:52:16.23
A feeding trough
for Mary and Joseph
00:52:16.26\00:52:21.10
to lay the word made flesh.
00:52:25.14\00:52:27.61
Certainly not a place
00:52:27.64\00:52:29.38
of splendor or a
palace for a king.
00:52:29.41\00:52:34.08
You know, for many
people that nights,
00:52:34.12\00:52:35.72
that night their thoughts
were anywhere but directed
00:52:35.75\00:52:39.29
towards a stable in Bethlehem.
00:52:39.32\00:52:42.19
How different today.
00:52:42.22\00:52:44.99
Now nativities are
found in homes or front yards
00:52:45.03\00:52:48.70
or families right
in your neighborhood.
00:52:48.73\00:52:52.60
The manger today
has been transformed
00:52:52.63\00:52:57.97
into a thing of
beauty and holiness.
00:52:58.01\00:53:04.45
But the beauty of the manger
isn't because of what it is.
00:53:04.48\00:53:09.55
No, it's because
of who resided there.
00:53:09.58\00:53:14.32
When we see the
manger, we see Jesus.
00:53:14.36\00:53:20.23
And He makes it beautiful.
00:53:20.30\00:53:23.03
Far from the material
00:53:26.57\00:53:27.90
extravagance of Christmas today,
00:53:27.94\00:53:29.27
the first Christmas
was born of humility,
00:53:29.30\00:53:32.17
and humility is
the great extravagance,
00:53:32.21\00:53:35.28
even to the death on the cross.
00:53:35.31\00:53:39.91
That first night probably
found many people staring down
00:53:39.98\00:53:43.99
wrong paths and
dead end streets,
00:53:44.05\00:53:47.52
but I have a feeling
that on that same night
00:53:47.56\00:53:49.89
all of heaven had their
eyes fixed on a tiny manger.
00:53:49.92\00:53:56.43
Outside the
atmosphere may have been noisy.
00:53:56.46\00:53:59.50
But I wonder if all
heaven was suddenly silenced
00:53:59.53\00:54:03.04
as the Son of God came forth
00:54:03.07\00:54:06.27
from the womb of a virgin.
00:54:06.31\00:54:11.18
There were no sense of
cinnamon or popery that evening,
00:54:11.21\00:54:15.15
but surely Mary
and Joseph breathed
00:54:15.18\00:54:18.72
the very fragrance of God
00:54:18.75\00:54:21.06
as they cradled the
Savior in their arms.
00:54:21.09\00:54:24.83
No sparkling lights
hung from the exterior
00:54:24.86\00:54:28.20
of that little manger.
00:54:28.23\00:54:30.27
But the light of the
world filled the interior.
00:54:30.33\00:54:36.60
And though there would be
no decorated Christmas tree
00:54:36.67\00:54:39.27
in the corner,
00:54:39.31\00:54:42.04
God would choose
another tree for His Son,
00:54:42.08\00:54:47.08
the Cross.
00:54:47.12\00:54:50.65
The manger seems such
an unfitting place for God
00:54:50.69\00:54:54.96
to have chosen for His only Son
00:54:54.99\00:54:57.43
and yet even today
God still looks to place
00:54:57.49\00:55:03.00
His beauty in
undesirable places,
00:55:03.03\00:55:08.37
dirty and unlovely mangers
00:55:08.40\00:55:13.07
that now take the
form of you and me.
00:55:13.11\00:55:19.38
You see it's the love of God
00:55:24.49\00:55:25.85
to look down
from heaven and say,
00:55:25.89\00:55:29.52
"There's another manger.
00:55:29.56\00:55:31.73
And I want to dwell there too
00:55:31.76\00:55:35.36
and there's a another
and there's another..."
00:55:35.40\00:55:40.84
And so He knocks to
see if we will let Him in.
00:55:40.90\00:55:46.84
And if we do,
He takes our manger
00:55:46.88\00:55:51.61
and He transforms it.
00:55:51.65\00:55:53.78
And overtime it becomes a
beautiful and a holy thing.
00:55:53.82\00:55:59.35
But the beauty of our manger
is not 'cause of what we are,
00:55:59.39\00:56:05.59
but because of
who resides in us.
00:56:05.63\00:56:07.36
And I pray that when
others see our manger,
00:56:10.47\00:56:13.84
they will see Jesus.
00:56:13.87\00:56:15.74
For He alone
00:56:15.77\00:56:19.44
can make a manger beautiful.
00:56:19.47\00:56:23.14
You know, I mentioned earlier
00:56:27.82\00:56:29.15
that our destiny, our purpose
00:56:29.18\00:56:34.86
is to worship Him.
00:56:34.89\00:56:37.23
We sang a little
chorus just a few minutes ago,
00:56:37.26\00:56:40.70
that I'm sure you
know but I want to ask you
00:56:40.73\00:56:42.46
just in the stillness
of wherever you are you.
00:56:42.50\00:56:45.47
Would you sing that
little chorus and just...
00:56:54.31\00:56:57.11
Make the manger that
you're in right now...
00:57:02.62\00:57:06.05
An altar, a tabernacle...
00:57:14.86\00:57:17.63
And worship the Lord as we sing.
00:57:23.84\00:57:25.74
O come, let us adore Him
00:57:32.25\00:57:39.12
O come, let us adore Him
00:57:39.15\00:57:46.70
O come, let us adore Him
00:57:46.73\00:57:52.20
Christ the Lord
00:57:55.34\00:57:59.87
We'll give Him all the glory
00:58:12.85\00:58:19.13
We'll give Him all the glory
00:58:19.16\00:58:26.27
We'll give Him all the glory
00:58:26.30\00:58:31.31
Christ The Lord
00:58:35.11\00:58:42.28
For He alone is worthy
00:58:42.32\00:58:48.79
For He alone is worthy
00:58:48.82\00:58:55.66
For He alone is worthy
00:58:55.70\00:59:02.27
Oh, Christ the Lord
00:59:02.30\00:59:10.21
Merry Christmas.
