"She will bring forth a Son,
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
and you shall
call His name Jesus,
00:00:02.70\00:00:05.17
for He will save His
people from their sins."
00:00:05.20\00:00:10.17
Celebrate this special season
00:00:10.21\00:00:12.34
by worshiping
our savior and king
00:00:12.37\00:00:14.88
as we bring you Christmas
00:00:14.91\00:00:16.71
with Reggie and
Ladye Love Smith.
00:00:16.75\00:00:19.01
Angels we have heard on high
00:00:29.76\00:00:32.83
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
00:00:32.86\00:00:36.30
And the mountains in reply
00:00:36.33\00:00:39.90
Echoing their joyous strains
00:00:39.97\00:00:43.24
Gloria in excelsis Deo
00:00:48.88\00:00:54.05
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
00:01:00.46\00:01:03.96
Why your joyous strains prolong?
00:01:04.03\00:01:07.40
What the gladsome tidings be
00:01:07.50\00:01:11.00
Which inspire
your heav'nly song?
00:01:11.03\00:01:14.10
Gloria in excelsis Deo
00:01:18.01\00:01:24.51
Gloria in excelsis Deo
00:01:27.68\00:01:35.12
Joyful, all ye nations rise
00:01:41.70\00:01:45.30
Join the triumph of the skies
00:01:45.33\00:01:48.34
With the angelic host proclaim:
00:01:48.37\00:01:52.01
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
00:01:52.04\00:01:55.34
Hark! The herald angels sing
00:01:55.38\00:01:58.85
"Glory to the newborn King!"
00:01:58.88\00:02:02.65
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing
00:02:06.76\00:02:13.26
Come, adore on bended knee
00:02:13.29\00:02:16.73
Christ the
Lord, the newborn King
00:02:16.77\00:02:20.00
Gloria in excelsis Deo
00:02:20.04\00:02:27.88
Gloria in excelsis Deo
00:02:31.35\00:02:39.29
When the angels have left
them and gone into the heaven,
00:02:56.50\00:02:59.51
the shepherd
said to one another,
00:02:59.54\00:03:01.51
let us go to
Bethlehem and see this thing
00:03:01.54\00:03:03.85
which has happened,
00:03:03.88\00:03:05.21
which the Lord
has told us about.
00:03:05.25\00:03:07.65
It's hard for us to realize that
00:03:07.68\00:03:09.05
our Savior walked
this earth first as a babe
00:03:09.08\00:03:11.82
and then as a child
who grew into a man.
00:03:11.85\00:03:14.69
No one except Mary got it
00:03:14.72\00:03:17.03
that he was
divinity in his early years,
00:03:17.06\00:03:20.20
his sweet little Jesus boy
00:03:20.23\00:03:22.26
who is actually
the King of kings
00:03:22.30\00:03:24.23
and the Lord of lords
for the whole universe.
00:03:24.27\00:03:26.53
Sweet little Jesus Boy
00:03:42.52\00:03:49.76
They made you
be born in a manger
00:03:49.79\00:03:56.53
Sweet little Holy Child
00:03:56.60\00:04:04.01
Didn't know who you was
00:04:04.04\00:04:10.68
Didn't know you'd
come to save us, Lord
00:04:10.75\00:04:17.09
To take our sins away
00:04:17.12\00:04:22.32
Our eyes was blind
00:04:22.36\00:04:27.60
we couldn't see
00:04:27.60\00:04:34.84
We didn't know who you was
00:04:34.87\00:04:39.91
Long time ago
00:04:43.85\00:04:49.42
You was born
00:04:49.45\00:04:55.12
Born in a manger low
00:04:55.16\00:05:01.46
Sweet little Jesus Boy
00:05:01.50\00:05:07.34
The world treat you mean, Lord
00:05:07.37\00:05:13.04
Treat me mean too
00:05:13.07\00:05:18.51
But please, sir
00:05:18.55\00:05:22.12
Forgive us, Lord
00:05:22.15\00:05:26.42
'Cause we didn't know it was you
00:05:31.03\00:05:35.83
Sweet little Jesus Boy
00:05:43.37\00:05:50.31
They made you
be born in a manger
00:05:50.35\00:05:56.85
Sweet little Holy Child
00:05:56.89\00:06:02.66
And we didn't know
00:06:06.03\00:06:08.00
Who you was
00:06:08.03\00:06:15.77
He was just an ordinary baby
00:06:42.20\00:06:48.27
That's the way
He planned it maybe
00:06:51.41\00:06:58.21
Anything less and common
00:06:58.25\00:07:01.98
Would have kept Him apart
00:07:02.02\00:07:05.22
From the children
00:07:10.16\00:07:13.23
That He came to rescue
00:07:13.26\00:07:18.47
Limited to some elite few
00:07:18.50\00:07:25.31
When He was the only
Child who asked to be born
00:07:25.34\00:07:31.45
And He came to us
with eyes wide open
00:07:36.48\00:07:44.33
Knowing how
we're hurt and broken
00:07:44.36\00:07:50.77
Choosing to partake
00:07:50.83\00:07:54.44
Of all our joy and pain
00:07:54.47\00:08:01.94
He was just an ordinary baby
00:08:01.98\00:08:09.88
That's the way
00:08:09.92\00:08:12.45
He planned it, maybe
00:08:12.49\00:08:16.99
So that we could come
to Him and not be afraid
00:08:17.06\00:08:24.27
He was ordinary with exception
00:08:34.84\00:08:41.82
Of miraculous conception
00:08:41.85\00:08:48.59
Both His birth and His death
were planned from the start
00:08:48.62\00:08:54.86
But between His entrance
00:08:58.33\00:09:03.07
And His exit
00:09:03.10\00:09:06.81
Was a life that
has affected everyone
00:09:06.84\00:09:13.95
Who's walked the
earth to this very day
00:09:13.98\00:09:19.72
And with no
airs of condescension
00:09:23.89\00:09:31.40
He became God's pure extension
00:09:31.43\00:09:37.74
Giving you and me
a chance to be remade
00:09:37.77\00:09:44.45
He was just an ordinary baby
00:09:47.82\00:09:54.89
That's the way
00:09:56.02\00:09:58.66
He planned it, maybe
00:09:58.69\00:10:03.73
So that we could come to Him
00:10:03.77\00:10:07.77
And not be afraid
00:10:07.80\00:10:10.91
So that we could come
to Him and not be afraid
00:10:17.21\00:10:24.85
He was just an ordinary baby
00:10:36.70\00:10:44.64
We're so happy to be
with you this evening
00:10:58.95\00:11:01.19
and to share a little
bit at Christmas time.
00:11:01.22\00:11:03.32
It's such a
special time for everyone.
00:11:03.36\00:11:05.79
There is a particular
song that I've always loved,
00:11:05.83\00:11:08.30
it's so majestic
00:11:08.33\00:11:10.13
and we have some wonderful
musicians here with us tonight
00:11:10.17\00:11:14.54
and first on the
piano is Mr. Tim Parton,
00:11:14.57\00:11:17.41
you know him, a
lot of you know him.
00:11:17.47\00:11:19.74
He is wonderfully
talented and we love him.
00:11:19.77\00:11:22.31
Reggie, why don't
you introduce our,
00:11:22.34\00:11:24.65

00:11:24.68\00:11:26.01
Across the way
across the snowy banks,
00:11:26.05\00:11:28.68
here near the
heart warm fireplace,
00:11:28.72\00:11:30.79
boy, that feels so good,
00:11:30.85\00:11:32.19
it feels good, doesn't you guys?
00:11:32.22\00:11:33.62
The Burchfield's,
00:11:33.66\00:11:34.99
these are dear friends of
ours from Nashville, Tennessee
00:11:35.02\00:11:37.59
and just so amazingly talented,
00:11:37.63\00:11:40.96

And this is Mark Burchfield
on the big old bass over there
00:11:42.33\00:11:45.57
and just a great...
00:11:45.60\00:11:46.97
They own a studio
there in Nashville
00:11:47.00\00:11:48.50
and they played
on so many records
00:11:48.54\00:11:50.14
and produced and
just so much talent.
00:11:50.17\00:11:52.47
And they're married too.
00:11:52.51\00:11:53.84
And they're married,
that's right, into each other.
00:11:53.91\00:11:56.28
Yeah, yeah, and so and then
00:11:56.31\00:11:58.31
we have Wanda Vick Burchfield,
00:11:58.35\00:11:59.81
and so many of you have seen her
00:11:59.85\00:12:02.35
on so many TV
shows through the years,
00:12:02.38\00:12:04.19

00:12:04.22\00:12:05.55
and she's played on
so many CDs and records,
00:12:05.59\00:12:07.89
and I guess, have you
ever played on record or CDs.
00:12:07.92\00:12:12.49
Oh, no unfortunately,
yeah, I go back beyond CDs.
00:12:12.53\00:12:15.33
Okay, a record
too, I love it, yeah.
00:12:15.36\00:12:17.43
And so, we're so
honored to have them
00:12:17.47\00:12:19.07
and I hope you're enjoying.
00:12:19.10\00:12:20.64
They're wonderful musicians.
00:12:20.70\00:12:22.27
Tim, let's do that song.
00:12:22.30\00:12:23.67
Hark how the
bells, sweet silver bells
00:12:32.71\00:12:34.88
All seem to
say, throw cares away
00:12:34.92\00:12:36.85
Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer
00:12:36.89\00:12:39.02
To young and
old, meek and the bold
00:12:39.05\00:12:41.02
Ding dong and
dong, that is the song
00:12:41.06\00:12:43.22
With joyful ring, all caroling
00:12:43.26\00:12:45.33
One seems to hear,
words of good cheer
00:12:45.36\00:12:47.46
From everywhere, filling the air
00:12:47.50\00:12:49.56
Oh, how they
pound, raising the sound
00:12:49.60\00:12:51.63
O'er hill and dale,
00:12:51.67\00:12:53.00
Telling the tale
00:12:53.03\00:12:54.37
Gaily they ring,
while people sing
00:12:54.40\00:12:55.84
Songs of good
cheer, Christmas is here
00:12:55.87\00:12:57.84
Merry, merry,
merry, merry Christmas
00:13:00.18\00:13:02.28
On, on they send, on without end

Their joyful tone, to every home
00:13:04.31\00:13:06.41
Gaily they ring,
while people sing
00:13:22.83\00:13:25.20

Their joyful tone, to every home
00:13:33.78\00:13:35.88
Ding dong Ding dong
00:13:40.52\00:13:45.79
Mary, did you know
00:14:46.21\00:14:51.85
That your Baby Boy
00:14:51.89\00:14:56.19
Would some day walk on water?

Mary, did you

00:15:01.40\00:15:09.27

Did you know that your Baby Boy
00:15:15.04\00:15:22.38
Has come to make you new?
00:15:22.42\00:15:27.39
And this Child
that you delivered
00:15:27.46\00:15:34.10
Will soon deliver you
00:15:34.10\00:15:38.23
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:15:38.27\00:15:46.01
Would give sight
to the blind man?
00:15:46.04\00:15:49.68
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:15:49.71\00:15:57.15
Will calm the
storm with His hand?
00:15:57.19\00:16:01.69
Did you know that your Baby Boy
00:16:01.72\00:16:07.83
Has walked where angels trod?
00:16:07.86\00:16:12.30
And when you
kiss your little Baby
00:16:12.33\00:16:17.74
You have kissed the face of God?
00:16:17.77\00:16:21.94
Oh, Mary did you know
00:16:21.98\00:16:24.28
Ooo Ooo Ooo
00:16:34.66\00:16:38.26
The blind will see
00:16:44.80\00:16:46.74
And the deaf will hear
00:16:46.80\00:16:49.44
The dead will live again
00:16:49.47\00:16:54.34
The lame will leap
00:16:54.38\00:16:56.81
The dumb will speak
00:16:56.85\00:16:59.25
The praises of The Lamb
00:16:59.28\00:17:03.12
Oh, Mary, did you know
00:17:11.03\00:17:18.63
That your Baby Boy

00:17:22.60\00:17:26.88
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:17:26.91\00:17:34.72
Would one day rule the nations?
00:17:34.75\00:17:39.32
Did you know that your Baby Boy
00:17:39.35\00:17:46.23
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
00:17:46.26\00:17:50.77
And the sleeping
Child that you're holding
00:17:50.83\00:17:56.40
Is the great "I am"
00:17:56.44\00:18:03.78
Oh, Mary, did you know
00:18:13.59\00:18:17.06
"Be not afraid, for behold,
00:18:29.87\00:18:31.91
I bring you good
news of great joy
00:18:31.94\00:18:34.28
which will come
to all the people.
00:18:34.31\00:18:36.14
For to you is born this
day, in the city of David,
00:18:36.18\00:18:39.25
a Savior who is
Christ the Lord."
00:18:39.28\00:18:41.98
Said the night
wind to the little lamb
00:18:50.83\00:18:56.23
Do you see what I see
00:18:56.26\00:19:01.14
Way up in the sky, little lamb
00:19:01.17\00:19:05.94
Do you see what I see
00:19:05.97\00:19:10.58
A star, a star,
dancing in the night
00:19:10.61\00:19:15.22
With a tail as big as a kite
00:19:15.25\00:19:19.79
With a tail as big as a kite
00:19:19.82\00:19:27.23
Said the little
lamb to the shepherd boy
00:19:27.23\00:19:32.87
Do you hear what I hear
00:19:32.90\00:19:35.37
Do you hear what I hear
00:19:35.40\00:19:37.61
Ringing through
the sky, shepherd boy
00:19:37.64\00:19:42.41
Do you hear what I
hear Do you hear what I hear
00:19:42.44\00:19:47.25
A song, a song,
high above the trees
00:19:47.32\00:19:51.85
With a voice as big as the sea
00:19:51.89\00:19:56.66
With a voice as big as the sea
00:19:56.73\00:20:00.60
Said the shepherd
boy to the mighty king
00:20:09.10\00:20:14.58
Do you know what I
know Do you know what I know
00:20:14.61\00:20:19.68
In your palace wall, mighty king
00:20:19.71\00:20:24.49
Do you know what I
know Do you know what I know
00:20:24.52\00:20:29.42
A Child, a Child
shivers in the cold
00:20:29.46\00:20:33.86
Let us bring Him silver and gold
00:20:33.90\00:20:38.73
Let us bring Him silver and gold
00:20:38.77\00:20:42.44
Said the king to
the people everywhere
00:20:51.11\00:20:56.55
Listen to what I say
00:20:56.62\00:21:01.39
Pray for peace,
people everywhere!
00:21:01.42\00:21:06.63
Listen to what I say
00:21:06.70\00:21:11.47
The Child, the
Child, sleeping in the night
00:21:11.50\00:21:16.17
He will bring us
goodness and light
00:21:16.20\00:21:20.98
He will bring us
goodness and light
00:21:21.01\00:21:26.45
The Child, the
Child, sleeping in the night
00:21:26.48\00:21:30.85
He will bring us
goodness and light
00:21:30.89\00:21:35.76
He will bring us
goodness and light
00:21:35.79\00:21:41.93
And light
00:21:48.20\00:21:53.14
That was beautiful, baby.
00:21:57.21\00:21:58.81
Oh, thank you.
00:21:58.85\00:22:00.35
Hey, come over here
00:22:00.42\00:22:01.75
and let's join Mr.
Tim Parton over here.
00:22:01.78\00:22:03.12
Okay.
00:22:03.15\00:22:04.49
And we have some special guest
that I'd love to bring out.
00:22:04.52\00:22:07.96
Ladye, I don't know if you know
about this special guest but...
00:22:07.99\00:22:10.43
I do.
00:22:10.46\00:22:11.79
We've got some
really special guest
00:22:11.83\00:22:13.33
from our hometown and
they're very special to us.
00:22:13.40\00:22:16.46
We've got Jesse right
here from Franklin, Tennessee.
00:22:16.50\00:22:20.80
I've got my second son
who is like a son to me.
00:22:20.84\00:22:23.57
This is Lawson Ivy.
00:22:23.61\00:22:26.31
I've to tell you this is funny,
00:22:26.34\00:22:27.68
his dad's a chief of
police and his name is Lawson.
00:22:27.71\00:22:31.15
Get it. That's right, yeah.
00:22:31.18\00:22:32.71
They said, they didn't do that
00:22:32.75\00:22:34.08
but I don't know, Lawson.
00:22:34.12\00:22:35.45
But it works perfectly,
Lawson, it works perfectly.
00:22:35.48\00:22:36.85
But this is our
son's best friend Lawson.
00:22:36.89\00:22:40.86
This is my namesake Amy Love.
00:22:40.92\00:22:44.23
Amy Love.
00:22:44.29\00:22:45.63
Amy was born on my birthday
00:22:45.66\00:22:47.00
and her mom was so
sweet and so gracious,
00:22:47.03\00:22:49.13
she was gonna be Amy Ann, right?
00:22:49.16\00:22:50.83
Yes.
00:22:50.90\00:22:52.23
She was gonna be Amy
Ann and her mom called me
00:22:52.27\00:22:53.60
still in the hospital said,
Amy was born on your birthday,
00:22:53.64\00:22:56.84
and we're gonna
name her Amy Love.
00:22:56.87\00:22:58.67
And I kind of
say, "Are you sure?
00:22:58.71\00:23:00.11
Are you sure?
00:23:00.18\00:23:01.51
Are your parents
gonna be okay with that?
00:23:01.54\00:23:02.88
Are you sure?"
00:23:02.91\00:23:04.25
And it is so funny,
00:23:04.28\00:23:05.61
Amy and I have
so much in common.
00:23:05.65\00:23:06.98
One day I was taking pictures,
00:23:07.02\00:23:08.35
I love to take
pictures of sunsets,
00:23:08.38\00:23:10.59
and I was driving
on the road and I...
00:23:10.62\00:23:12.85
Now, when she said she loved
to take pictures of sunset,
00:23:12.89\00:23:16.12
she loves.
00:23:16.16\00:23:17.93
I love to take pictures.
She is the Facebook queen.
00:23:17.96\00:23:20.50
And she takes at least
00:23:20.53\00:23:22.36
a hundred sunset pictures a day,
00:23:22.40\00:23:25.60
it's true.
00:23:25.63\00:23:27.00
But this is gonna cover
my story then because...
00:23:27.04\00:23:28.54
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby.
00:23:28.57\00:23:29.90
This particular time I
had not done many sunsets,
00:23:29.97\00:23:33.04
and I took a picture
and I send and I posted it,
00:23:33.07\00:23:35.68
and her mom said, okay, look,
00:23:35.71\00:23:37.51
and she send a picture
back that Amy had taken,
00:23:37.55\00:23:39.61
the same exact picture,
00:23:39.65\00:23:41.22
same exact picture too
that day at the same time.
00:23:41.25\00:23:44.25
But anyway Amy is my
namesake and a very special,
00:23:44.29\00:23:46.72
and then of course
00:23:46.76\00:23:48.12
on the very end is our son Bret,
00:23:48.16\00:23:51.56
and Brett's very
special too to us.
00:23:51.59\00:23:53.76
He loves to make faces.
00:23:53.80\00:23:56.23
Bret Reece Cleavon Smith.
00:23:56.26\00:23:58.23
Yes, and he is 13 years old
00:23:58.27\00:24:01.27
and we just wanted to
bring these kids up here today
00:24:01.30\00:24:03.84
because they're special to us,
00:24:03.91\00:24:05.37
and we know that
you have children
00:24:05.41\00:24:06.78
that are special to you.
00:24:06.81\00:24:08.14
And I don't know,
00:24:08.18\00:24:09.51
right now with everything
is going on in the world,
00:24:09.54\00:24:11.48
just seems like
there is the news is bad
00:24:11.51\00:24:14.22
a lot of times but,
00:24:14.25\00:24:15.58
this is a prayer that
I'd like for us to sing today
00:24:15.62\00:24:18.52
with the future generation,
00:24:18.55\00:24:20.36
"Let there be Peace on Earth."
00:24:20.39\00:24:21.76
Let there be peace on earth
00:24:36.40\00:24:42.98
And let it begin with me
00:24:43.01\00:24:49.65
Let there be peace on earth
00:24:49.68\00:24:56.09
The peace that was meant to be
00:24:56.12\00:25:03.16
With God as our Father
00:25:03.20\00:25:10.11
Brothers all are we
00:25:10.14\00:25:17.15
Let me walk with my brother
00:25:17.18\00:25:23.49
In perfect harmony
00:25:23.52\00:25:30.73
Let peace begin with me
00:25:30.76\00:25:36.87
Let this be the moment now
00:25:36.93\00:25:44.34
With every step I take
00:25:44.37\00:25:50.35
Let this be my solemn vow
00:25:50.41\00:25:57.35
To take each moment
and live each moment
00:25:57.39\00:26:04.16
With peace eternally
00:26:04.19\00:26:11.40
Let there be peace on earth
00:26:11.43\00:26:17.64
And let it begin with me
00:26:17.67\00:26:22.44
Let there be peace on earth
00:26:28.38\00:26:34.46
And let it begin with me
00:26:34.49\00:26:41.96
Let there be peace on earth
00:26:42.00\00:26:48.17
The peace that was meant to be
00:26:48.20\00:26:54.94
To take each moment
and live each moment
00:26:54.98\00:27:01.88
In peace eternally
00:27:01.92\00:27:09.02
Let there be peace on earth
00:27:09.06\00:27:15.36
And let it begin with me
00:27:15.40\00:27:23.24
Great job, y'all.
00:27:34.22\00:27:36.02
Thank you so much for
singing with us today.
00:27:36.05\00:27:39.49
Let's get a little casual here.
00:27:39.52\00:27:41.12
Come on down here by the piano.
00:27:41.16\00:27:42.99
Let's do a few songs
right around the piano,
00:27:43.02\00:27:45.33
and we're just gonna
be very impromptu on this.
00:27:45.36\00:27:47.50
Let's see if we know this one.
00:27:47.50\00:27:48.83
Away in a manger
00:27:53.80\00:27:58.24
No crib for a bed
00:27:58.27\00:28:02.61
The little Lord Jesus
00:28:02.64\00:28:06.78
Laid down his sweet head
00:28:06.85\00:28:10.92
The stars in the sky
00:28:10.95\00:28:15.02
Looked down where he lay
00:28:15.06\00:28:18.96
The little Lord
Jesus asleep on the hay
00:28:18.99\00:28:26.60
The cattle are lowing
00:28:30.04\00:28:33.98
The baby awakes
00:28:34.01\00:28:38.15
But little Lord Jesus
00:28:38.18\00:28:42.52
No crying he makes
00:28:42.55\00:28:46.62
I love you, Lord Jesus
00:28:46.65\00:28:50.93
Look down from the sky
00:28:50.96\00:28:55.13
And stay by my
cradle till morning is nigh
00:28:55.16\00:29:02.60
You know what?
00:29:06.07\00:29:07.41
I want to say
something right here.
00:29:07.44\00:29:09.01
So many times we
forget at Christmas that
00:29:09.04\00:29:12.48
there are lot of people
00:29:12.51\00:29:13.85
who don't have
great things like we do.
00:29:13.88\00:29:15.62
Just like a bed to
seep in, a food to eat,
00:29:15.65\00:29:20.09
and we just kind of forget them
00:29:20.12\00:29:21.46
'cause we're
thinking about all the things
00:29:21.49\00:29:22.82
we want to get, right.
00:29:22.86\00:29:24.39
What I want for
Christmas and we forget that
00:29:24.43\00:29:27.86
there are children
all around the world
00:29:27.93\00:29:30.07
they're watching right now even
00:29:30.10\00:29:32.17
that they just want to be loved.
00:29:32.20\00:29:35.17
Some of them
don't have a parent.
00:29:35.20\00:29:37.24
They don't have
a place to sleep.
00:29:37.31\00:29:39.47
And I love, love this last verse
00:29:39.51\00:29:41.94
because it talks
about this blessing
00:29:41.98\00:29:44.15
all the dear
children in the world.
00:29:44.18\00:29:46.15
Bless all the dear children
00:29:46.18\00:29:48.05
and let's sing this verse, okay.
00:29:48.08\00:29:51.75
Be near me Lord Jesus
00:29:51.79\00:29:56.22
I ask Thee to stay
00:29:56.26\00:30:00.40
Close by me forever
00:30:00.43\00:30:04.70
And love me, I pray
00:30:04.73\00:30:08.90
Bless all the dear
children in Thy tender care
00:30:08.94\00:30:16.91
And take us to heaven
to live with Thee there
00:30:16.95\00:30:24.85
I love that.
00:30:28.99\00:30:30.33
Let's sing one more
verse all of another song
00:30:30.39\00:30:32.96
that maybe you know,
00:30:32.99\00:30:34.30
and I know we're just kind of
pulling these all out on y'all,
00:30:34.36\00:30:36.93
but this is one that
00:30:37.00\00:30:38.73
hopefully you know a little bit,
00:30:38.77\00:30:40.10
we'll just sing the first verse.
00:30:40.17\00:30:42.30
Everybody at home
if you're singing,
00:30:42.34\00:30:44.27
you can sing with us too.
00:30:44.31\00:30:45.87
You can sing as
we're singing along.
00:30:45.91\00:30:47.51
Which one is this, Ladye Love?
00:30:47.54\00:30:48.88
And this one is Silent Night.
00:30:48.91\00:30:50.25
Everybody ready?
00:30:50.28\00:30:52.28
Silent night
00:30:52.31\00:30:56.85
Holy night
00:30:56.92\00:31:00.96
All is calm
00:31:00.99\00:31:05.26
All is bright
00:31:05.29\00:31:09.16
Round yon virgin
00:31:09.20\00:31:14.20
Mother and child
00:31:14.24\00:31:17.94
Holy infant
00:31:17.97\00:31:22.38
Tender and mild
00:31:22.41\00:31:26.68
Sleep in heavenly peace
00:31:26.72\00:31:32.12
Sleep in heavenly peace
00:31:35.46\00:31:41.96
And you know what? I
want to do one more thing.
00:31:42.00\00:31:44.33
And, Tim, you can just
play if you want to but, Amy,
00:31:44.37\00:31:47.47
could I ask you to
read the Christmas story.
00:31:47.50\00:31:51.37
And I have this Bible right here
00:31:51.41\00:31:53.17
just in case you'd say yes.
00:31:53.21\00:31:55.74
And let's listen to the story.
00:31:55.78\00:31:59.08
"And it came to
pass in those days
00:31:59.11\00:32:01.25
that a decree went
out from Caesar Augustus
00:32:01.28\00:32:03.99
that all the world
should be registered.
00:32:04.02\00:32:05.92
This census took place
00:32:05.95\00:32:07.79
while Quirinius
was governing Syria.
00:32:07.82\00:32:10.99
So all went to be registered,
everyone to his own city.
00:32:11.03\00:32:14.46
And Joseph went up from Galilee,
00:32:14.46\00:32:16.40
out of the city to
Nazareth, into Judea,
00:32:16.43\00:32:19.67
to the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem,
00:32:19.70\00:32:22.20
because he was of the
house and lineage of David,
00:32:22.24\00:32:27.54
to be registered with
Mary, to betrothed wife,
00:32:27.58\00:32:32.21
who was with child.
00:32:32.25\00:32:33.58
So it was, that
while they were there,
00:32:33.62\00:32:35.82
the days were completed
for her to be delivered.
00:32:35.85\00:32:38.82
And she brought
forth her firstborn Son,
00:32:38.85\00:32:40.99
and wrapped Him
in swaddling cloths,
00:32:41.02\00:32:43.02
and laid Him in a manger,
00:32:43.06\00:32:44.39
because there was no
room for them in the inn."
00:32:44.43\00:32:46.90
Silent night
00:32:57.04\00:33:01.34
Holy night
00:33:01.38\00:33:05.68
Son of God
00:33:05.71\00:33:10.69
Love's pure light
00:33:10.72\00:33:14.99
Radiant beams
00:33:15.02\00:33:19.49
From Thy Holy Face
00:33:19.53\00:33:24.07
With the dawn of redeeming grace
00:33:24.13\00:33:29.50
Jesus, Lord, at Thy Birth!
00:33:33.34\00:33:38.85
Jesus, Lord, at Thy Birth!
00:33:42.72\00:33:50.69
Hey, Tim, could you
keep playing that little bit.
00:33:57.73\00:34:00.84
That was so beautiful.
00:34:00.87\00:34:02.20
Could you, would you
mind playing the mandolin solo
00:34:02.24\00:34:04.11
and just take that on
the Silent Night part?
00:34:04.14\00:34:06.11
Wanda, you don't know you
just gave me a gift today.
00:35:16.11\00:35:18.75
You don't know this
00:35:18.78\00:35:20.12
but my dad was
a mandolin player,
00:35:20.15\00:35:21.88
and that was such a
gift when Reggie said,
00:35:21.92\00:35:23.72
would you do a solo on that.
00:35:23.79\00:35:25.59
I just felt like
00:35:25.62\00:35:26.96
I had a little
gift from him today.
00:35:26.99\00:35:28.32
Thank you so
much. You're welcome.
00:35:28.36\00:35:30.13
I know there are so
many people watching this now
00:35:30.16\00:35:32.86
who are missing loved ones,
00:35:32.89\00:35:34.86
and I know that sometimes
00:35:34.93\00:35:36.26
Christmas is a hard time
00:35:36.30\00:35:37.90
but I hope with all my heart
00:35:37.93\00:35:39.43
that you can
remember the good times
00:35:39.47\00:35:41.07
that you had with the
people that you loved,
00:35:41.10\00:35:43.27
and take heart that
00:35:43.30\00:35:45.21
you will see them
again one day in heaven.
00:35:45.24\00:35:48.38
And I pray that if
you're lonely today,
00:35:48.41\00:35:51.38
that you would
find someone to be with
00:35:51.41\00:35:53.78
or someone that
needs help today,
00:35:53.82\00:35:55.82
that maybe you could
just go down the street
00:35:55.85\00:35:57.59
and take
something to your neighbor
00:35:57.62\00:35:59.72
or take a casserole,
00:35:59.75\00:36:01.16
we love casseroles in our house.
00:36:01.19\00:36:03.32
We love to do things
like that in the south,
00:36:03.36\00:36:05.26
that's where we're from,
00:36:05.29\00:36:06.63
but I know all
over you love that
00:36:06.66\00:36:08.03
because we've visited
so many wonderful places,
00:36:08.06\00:36:10.77
and you've been so good to us,
00:36:10.80\00:36:12.43
so I just pray that
today that if you're lonely
00:36:12.47\00:36:15.70
that you'll reach
out and you'll say, okay,
00:36:15.74\00:36:17.84
if I'm lonely,
someone else is lonely.
00:36:17.87\00:36:20.48
And so I can do
something for someone else
00:36:20.51\00:36:22.58
and in giving
you receive so much.
00:36:22.61\00:36:25.28
That was such a
gift I received just now,
00:36:25.31\00:36:27.65
and thank you so much for that.
00:36:27.68\00:36:29.68
I just
appreciate the kids coming.
00:36:29.72\00:36:32.29
They mean so much,
they're special to us
00:36:32.32\00:36:34.26
so we wanted these
specific kids to be here today,
00:36:34.29\00:36:36.83
and thank you so much
for coming and being a part.
00:36:36.86\00:36:41.30
You know, Ladye, I
was just thinking about it
00:36:41.33\00:36:42.83
as one of us play
and that was just amazing
00:36:42.86\00:36:45.03
and I was thinking about Mr. JR,
00:36:45.07\00:36:46.90
that was her daddy's name.
00:36:46.94\00:36:48.64
JR, he was a
World War II veteran.
00:36:48.67\00:36:51.41
And we went to
Hawaii one time and he said,
00:36:51.44\00:36:54.28
well, I came through here
to board the ship 50 years ago.
00:36:54.31\00:37:00.48
Well, it's been
lot longer that now
00:37:00.55\00:37:01.98
but you know when he said,
00:37:02.02\00:37:03.35
we played mandolin right here.
00:37:03.42\00:37:04.75
And he just played them,
00:37:04.79\00:37:06.12
we would sit
and play those hymns
00:37:06.15\00:37:07.49
there in this season.
00:37:07.52\00:37:08.86
You know what...
00:37:08.89\00:37:10.23
I want to say there
is, every Christmas Eve
00:37:10.26\00:37:11.59
he would pick his mandolin up
00:37:11.63\00:37:12.96
and you would get on the piano
00:37:12.99\00:37:14.46
and we would play till midnight
00:37:14.46\00:37:16.03
'cause we're late night people.
00:37:16.06\00:37:17.40
Now here's the thing,
00:37:17.47\00:37:18.80
it wouldn't sound
quite like Mr. Tim.
00:37:18.83\00:37:20.94
Yes.
00:37:20.97\00:37:23.34
Did she just
said, no, I mean yes.
00:37:23.41\00:37:26.04
Yeah, it didn't but
it's absolutely beautiful.
00:37:26.07\00:37:27.71
And my mom is not
a late night person,
00:37:27.74\00:37:29.91
so she would be lying in the bed
00:37:29.94\00:37:31.35
and she'd be
going, that's a good one.
00:37:31.38\00:37:32.88
Okay, that was
good, that was great.
00:37:32.91\00:37:34.82
But you know what...
And we would just sing...
00:37:34.85\00:37:37.42
We'd just sing
Christmas carols and hymns
00:37:37.49\00:37:39.79
till and bring in then...
00:37:39.82\00:37:41.26
But, Ladye, I was just thinking
about what you said, I mean,
00:37:41.29\00:37:43.73
you've seen a lot
of times, you know,
00:37:43.76\00:37:45.69
this season a
lot of people are sad
00:37:45.73\00:37:49.03
or maybe they're hopeless.
00:37:49.06\00:37:50.63
Yes.
00:37:50.67\00:37:52.87
Jesus said, He
will never leave us
00:37:52.90\00:37:55.37
nor He will forsake us,
00:37:55.40\00:37:57.07
and He's promised
us that, you know,
00:37:57.11\00:37:59.91
and who...
00:37:59.94\00:38:01.84
The miracle of the birth,
00:38:01.88\00:38:04.61
the virgin birth
00:38:04.65\00:38:06.55
and what that
takes on, love wins.
00:38:06.58\00:38:08.72
That's right.
00:38:08.75\00:38:10.12
Love wins, it just, it
just beat hatred every time.
00:38:10.15\00:38:12.72
Because there's
a lot of bad things
00:38:12.75\00:38:14.09
right now going in.
00:38:14.12\00:38:15.46
A lot of people, a
lot of hate in the world
00:38:15.49\00:38:17.76
but the love, his love is bigger
00:38:17.79\00:38:20.66
and will conquer all
the hate in the world,
00:38:20.73\00:38:23.37
but like we've
heard so many times,
00:38:23.40\00:38:25.17
Satan comes to steal
and kill, and destroy.
00:38:25.20\00:38:27.44
Yeah. But love conquers all.
00:38:27.47\00:38:29.84
Love conquers all.
00:38:29.87\00:38:32.54
Ladye, I want you to...
Can you join me right up here?
00:38:32.57\00:38:34.28
I want to do
another number with you.
00:38:34.31\00:38:36.08
And love actually
really truly came down
00:38:36.11\00:38:39.45
one Christmas to us.
00:38:39.48\00:38:42.02
It was the gift to
us, a free gift to us
00:38:42.05\00:38:44.29
that we all can receive,
00:38:44.32\00:38:46.15
and if you're sitting there
00:38:46.19\00:38:47.56
and you don't know
anything about this gift,
00:38:47.59\00:38:49.76
just please take hold of it,
00:38:49.79\00:38:52.09
reach out and grab
it and hold on to it
00:38:52.13\00:38:53.93
because Jesus is
ready to help you
00:38:54.00\00:38:55.90
through your hard times,
00:38:55.93\00:38:57.27
through the sad times
00:38:57.33\00:38:58.67
'cause those are going to come,
00:38:58.70\00:39:00.10
through the happy
times and the joyful times.
00:39:00.14\00:39:02.90
Love came down on Christmas.
00:39:02.94\00:39:04.64
Love came down at Christmas
00:39:29.70\00:39:35.37
Love all lovely, love divine
00:39:35.40\00:39:42.94
Love was born at Christmas
00:39:42.98\00:39:48.82
Star and angel gave the sign
00:39:48.85\00:39:56.39
Worship we the Godhead
00:39:56.42\00:40:01.80
Love incarnate
00:40:01.83\00:40:03.93
Love divine
00:40:03.97\00:40:09.97
Worship we our Jesus
00:40:10.01\00:40:16.01
Offering what for sacred sign?
00:40:16.04\00:40:20.52
Love will be our token
00:40:24.35\00:40:30.13
Love will be yours
00:40:30.19\00:40:31.99
And love be mine
00:40:32.03\00:40:38.30
Love to God and to all men
00:40:38.33\00:40:44.44
Love for heaven's gift
00:40:44.47\00:40:47.81
And sign
00:40:47.84\00:40:55.25
Love divine
00:41:02.69\00:41:09.10
Love was born at Christmas
00:41:09.13\00:41:14.90
Star and angel gave the sign
00:41:14.94\00:41:21.64
Worship we the Godhead
00:41:21.68\00:41:27.28
Love incarnate
00:41:27.32\00:41:29.55
Love divine
00:41:29.58\00:41:36.42
Worship we our Jesus
00:41:36.46\00:41:42.46
Through our heart
may His love shine
00:41:42.50\00:41:47.20
Through our heart
may His love shine
00:41:47.27\00:41:54.98
Love will be the sacred sign
00:41:55.01\00:42:02.98
Ladye and I are from
Nashville, Tennessee,
00:42:29.41\00:42:31.68
and we actually have...
00:42:31.71\00:42:33.05
We told you earlier
00:42:33.08\00:42:34.42
we brought some friends of ours
00:42:34.45\00:42:35.78
in the background
here play the piano
00:42:35.82\00:42:37.15
and all the
instruments over there
00:42:37.19\00:42:39.29
and the big bass there
00:42:39.32\00:42:40.82
but we have another
dear friend of ours,
00:42:40.86\00:42:42.96
and we met in the studio,
her name is Dr. Yvonne Lewis.
00:42:42.99\00:42:46.06
We did.
00:42:46.09\00:42:47.46
How are you doing, Yvonne?
00:42:47.50\00:42:48.80
Hey!
00:42:48.83\00:42:50.20
Yvonne, you
know what honestly...
00:42:53.07\00:42:54.67
We met in the studio
00:42:54.70\00:42:56.77
and truly I know we've
told this story many times
00:42:56.84\00:42:58.91
but truly we were
little bit nervous about
00:42:58.94\00:43:02.01
singing with
someone who would...
00:43:02.04\00:43:03.48
You know, singing
background is different.
00:43:03.55\00:43:05.28
It is. It's an art.
00:43:05.31\00:43:07.32
She was nervous too.
She does the same thing.
00:43:07.35\00:43:08.82
I was.
00:43:08.85\00:43:10.19
And equally you were little bit
nervous about singing with us,
00:43:10.22\00:43:12.42
this country
bumpkins from Nashville.
00:43:12.45\00:43:14.46
No, I wasn't thinking that.
00:43:14.49\00:43:15.82
I know what it's
like, but you know what,
00:43:15.86\00:43:17.23
I know this
Nashville girl but listen,
00:43:17.26\00:43:18.99
we're so excited
00:43:19.03\00:43:20.40
because we're gonna do
a little Nashville number,
00:43:20.43\00:43:22.63
the country number.
00:43:22.66\00:43:24.03
I know that you were so excited
00:43:24.07\00:43:25.40
'cause it's your favorite genre.
00:43:25.43\00:43:26.77
That's true. Not really.
00:43:26.80\00:43:28.14
I want to sing with you, guys.
00:43:28.17\00:43:29.50
We're gonna do a
little opera here so this is,
00:43:29.54\00:43:30.87
this is song we
wrote 15-20 years ago...
00:43:30.91\00:43:32.24
Okay.
00:43:32.27\00:43:33.61
And the bands here
are gonna strike out,
00:43:33.64\00:43:34.98
so on the courses
let's just have fun with it.
00:43:35.01\00:43:36.81
And if you want to
say hee-haw, then don't.
00:43:36.85\00:43:38.31
Okay, guys, we're
gonna start on the fiddle,
00:43:42.02\00:43:43.79
it goes like this.
00:43:43.85\00:43:45.19
We just love the
sights and sounds of Christmas
00:43:57.67\00:44:02.90
The mistletoe, the falling snow
00:44:02.94\00:44:05.74
Say the day is near
00:44:05.77\00:44:08.21
The thing we love
the most about the season
00:44:08.24\00:44:13.28
Is knowing when the tree is gone
00:44:13.31\00:44:16.62
We don't have to stop our song
00:44:16.69\00:44:19.12
It's not just for one day
00:44:19.15\00:44:21.29
We can celebrate our yield
00:44:21.32\00:44:23.76
We don't have to
wait until December
00:44:27.30\00:44:32.50
To tell the world the
good news Jesus brings
00:44:32.53\00:44:37.74
His coming to this
earth was our salvation
00:44:37.77\00:44:43.08
And on any given day
00:44:43.11\00:44:46.18
He can make us sing
00:44:46.21\00:44:48.85
The hope He
brought that holy night
00:44:48.88\00:44:51.65
Makes it very clear
00:44:51.69\00:44:54.29
It's not just for one day
we can celebrate our yield
00:44:54.32\00:44:58.99
All right.
00:45:03.06\00:45:04.40
We just love to
hear the Christmas story
00:45:12.27\00:45:17.55
To share sometime with family
00:45:17.58\00:45:20.12
And friends we love so dear
00:45:20.15\00:45:22.72
So when the
holiday is finally over
00:45:22.75\00:45:28.09
Its spirit shouldn't fade at all
00:45:28.12\00:45:31.13
Winter, summer, spring or fall
00:45:31.16\00:45:33.90
It's not just for one day
00:45:33.93\00:45:35.96
We can celebrate our yield
00:45:36.00\00:45:38.77
We don't have to
wait until December
00:45:42.17\00:45:47.44
To tell the world the
good news Jesus brings
00:45:47.48\00:45:52.55
His coming to this
earth was our salvation
00:45:52.58\00:45:58.05
And on any given
day He can make us sing
00:45:58.09\00:46:03.96
The hope He
brought that holy night
00:46:03.99\00:46:06.83
Makes it very clear
00:46:06.86\00:46:09.30
It's not just for one day
we can celebrate our yield
00:46:09.33\00:46:16.50
The hope He
brought that holy night
00:46:16.54\00:46:19.24
Makes it very clear
00:46:19.27\00:46:21.68
It's not just for one day
we can celebrate our yield
00:46:21.71\00:46:28.78
It's not just for one day
00:46:28.82\00:46:31.22
we can celebrate our yield
00:46:31.25\00:46:35.76
You did it.
00:46:43.00\00:46:44.33
You did it.
00:46:44.37\00:46:45.77
Awesome, Yvonne.
Thank you so much.
00:46:45.80\00:46:47.60
Thank you. That was fun.
00:46:47.64\00:46:49.14
I love you, guys.
00:46:49.17\00:46:50.51
So you might like
country music after all.
00:46:50.57\00:46:51.91
You know what, I might.
00:46:51.94\00:46:53.27
And make in threes. No.
00:46:53.31\00:46:55.24
Oh, no.
00:46:55.28\00:46:56.64
Love you, guys.
00:46:56.71\00:46:58.05
Thank you. Thank you.
00:46:58.08\00:46:59.41
You know, the beautiful song
that was written O Holy Night,
00:46:59.45\00:47:02.65
Ladye Love,
00:47:02.68\00:47:04.02
and I just think that, you know,
00:47:04.05\00:47:05.39
there is, there
is always a place
00:47:05.42\00:47:06.92
for O Holy Night in
a Christmas special.
00:47:06.99\00:47:10.46
And if you want
to join me on this,
00:47:10.49\00:47:12.53
please feel free to do so.
00:47:12.56\00:47:13.96
I think I'll
just let you do this
00:47:14.00\00:47:15.33
'cause you do it so well.
00:47:15.36\00:47:16.70
I wouldn't say that but,
okay, I'll give it a shot.
00:47:16.73\00:47:18.83
O holy night
00:47:28.81\00:47:35.78
The stars are brightly shining
00:47:35.82\00:47:41.06
It is the night of
our dear Savior's birth
00:47:44.73\00:47:52.27
Long lay the world in sin
00:47:56.67\00:48:01.61
And error pining
00:48:01.64\00:48:06.11
Till He appeared and
the soul felt its worth
00:48:06.15\00:48:12.92
A thrill of hope
00:48:16.79\00:48:20.93
The weary world rejoices
00:48:20.96\00:48:25.50
For yonder breaks a new
00:48:25.53\00:48:30.64
And glorious morn
00:48:30.71\00:48:34.68
Fall on your knees
00:48:34.71\00:48:41.62
O hear the angels' voices
00:48:41.65\00:48:46.89
O night divine
00:48:50.06\00:48:57.43
O night
00:48:57.47\00:49:01.67
When Christ was born
00:49:01.70\00:49:06.34
O night divine
00:49:06.37\00:49:14.35
O night
00:49:14.38\00:49:18.52
O night divine
00:49:18.55\00:49:21.09
Truly He taught us
00:49:29.03\00:49:32.87
To love one another
00:49:32.90\00:49:37.11
His law is love
and His gospel is peace
00:49:37.14\00:49:43.55
Chains shall He break
for the slave is our brother
00:49:46.82\00:49:54.76
And in His name all
oppression shall cease
00:49:54.79\00:50:00.23
Sweet hymns of joy in
grateful chorus raise we
00:50:03.33\00:50:11.27
Let all within us
00:50:11.31\00:50:15.61
Praise His holy name
00:50:15.64\00:50:20.12
Christ is the Lord
00:50:20.18\00:50:27.12
Oh, praise His name forever
00:50:27.16\00:50:34.10
His power
00:50:34.13\00:50:38.30
And glory forever
00:50:38.33\00:50:45.01
Ever more proclaim!
00:50:45.04\00:50:49.24
His power and glory
00:50:49.28\00:50:56.35
Ever more proclaim!
00:51:00.06\00:51:07.93
That was beautiful, Reggie.
00:51:21.24\00:51:22.58
You want to talk about
some memories that we have?
00:51:25.68\00:51:30.15
I just love Christmas
00:51:30.19\00:51:31.52
because I love to think about
00:51:31.55\00:51:33.32
things from the
past too growing up
00:51:33.36\00:51:35.42
and the memories
that were so wonderful
00:51:35.46\00:51:38.26
with our parents and
our family, and friends.
00:51:38.29\00:51:40.56
Yeah, you know, I
was thinking about
00:51:40.60\00:51:42.00
walking through the snow here,
00:51:42.03\00:51:43.40
by the way it's very cold but...
00:51:43.43\00:51:46.87
Where I'm from in
Southern Mississippi,
00:51:46.90\00:51:49.00
we didn't have a lot of snow.
00:51:49.04\00:51:51.21
And this is pretty exciting
to be around a lot of snow.
00:51:51.24\00:51:56.38
You know, I was thinking about
00:51:56.41\00:51:57.85
a great memory for me
during the Christmas time,
00:51:57.88\00:52:01.98
Christmas season was,
00:52:02.02\00:52:03.39
my family first of all,
00:52:03.42\00:52:04.75
my mom and dad
were both musicians.
00:52:04.79\00:52:08.39
Dad was a singer
and choir director
00:52:08.42\00:52:12.56
at a little church
there in Mississippi,
00:52:12.59\00:52:14.46
Moselle,
Mississippi, the capital,
00:52:14.50\00:52:16.23
you've all seen it,
you know, where it is.
00:52:16.26\00:52:18.17
It's a blip on the screen
00:52:18.20\00:52:19.60
but my mom played
the organ and piano
00:52:19.63\00:52:22.00
and all the instruments
that were to be played there.
00:52:22.04\00:52:24.71
My brothers all sang but,
00:52:24.74\00:52:26.21
every Christmas
season we would go
00:52:26.24\00:52:28.24
and practice a cantata.
00:52:28.28\00:52:30.15
That's what we call
them cantatas back then,
00:52:30.21\00:52:31.95
I don't know if they
call them that anymore,
00:52:31.98\00:52:33.78
but we do this cantata
from work print or somebody.
00:52:33.82\00:52:37.85
In our little choir
we would get through it
00:52:37.89\00:52:39.59
and I'm sure we were doing
00:52:39.62\00:52:40.96
some squawking
too along the way,
00:52:40.99\00:52:42.92
but it will be just wonderful
00:52:42.96\00:52:44.79
and it just meant a lot to us,
00:52:44.83\00:52:46.36
Mark, it really did.
00:52:46.39\00:52:47.73
It meant a lot to
us, it was special to us.
00:52:47.76\00:52:49.53
My dad was a minister in music
00:52:49.56\00:52:51.10
and I just thought
he could do no wrong.
00:52:51.13\00:52:52.80
He was my hero.
00:52:52.83\00:52:55.20
And he's still is by
the way, he still is.
00:52:55.24\00:52:57.94
But you know what, Ladye Love,
00:52:57.97\00:52:59.31
we would go and
we will travel and go
00:52:59.34\00:53:01.44
and sing into the shut-ins
00:53:01.48\00:53:03.65
and people who
were having a hard time.
00:53:03.68\00:53:06.51
I remember right
when we first married
00:53:06.55\00:53:08.02
that I actually
went with you all
00:53:08.05\00:53:09.38
and we did that to the
lady's house with all that.
00:53:09.42\00:53:10.79
That's right, you did.
00:53:10.82\00:53:12.15
And we would end, that's right,
00:53:12.19\00:53:13.52
we would end at
the Norses' house.
00:53:13.56\00:53:16.09
Now the Norses' were fabulous,
00:53:16.12\00:53:17.56
a couple that had
reared lots of kids,
00:53:17.63\00:53:20.93
adopted kids,
00:53:20.96\00:53:22.70
kids that had no
homes they did it,
00:53:22.73\00:53:24.53
but she would make us chocolate,
00:53:24.57\00:53:27.00
honnou chocolate,
00:53:27.04\00:53:28.90
but you know it was fabulous,
and we would end our night
00:53:28.94\00:53:31.24
singing for them and
those kids every night.
00:53:31.27\00:53:33.88
That's a great memory for me.
00:53:33.94\00:53:35.31
We had some of the
similar memories too.
00:53:35.34\00:53:36.91
We would go caroling to
the shut-ins where I lived,
00:53:36.95\00:53:39.58
and one of my favorite some
when I was very little is that
00:53:39.61\00:53:42.72
we would have Christmas
Eve services at our church
00:53:42.75\00:53:45.42
and area churches
would come together.
00:53:45.45\00:53:47.22
We would sing hymns.
00:53:47.26\00:53:48.59
I remember singing Silent
Night in German, Stille Nacht.
00:53:48.62\00:53:51.29
Wow. Heilige Nacht.
00:53:51.33\00:53:53.03
And I just remember
that was so wonderful to me
00:53:53.06\00:53:55.63
the feeling to know
that we were all together
00:53:55.66\00:53:57.87
and we were just
thinking about love that night,
00:53:57.90\00:54:00.14
about the love,
Christ love, you know,
00:54:00.17\00:54:03.41
and the tiny baby being born,
so that he could die for us.
00:54:03.44\00:54:07.58
And it was just amazing to me.
00:54:07.61\00:54:09.68
I also remember
going to my grandparents
00:54:09.71\00:54:11.95
and riding in the back
of the car on the way home,
00:54:11.98\00:54:14.85
and couldn't
wait to get back home,
00:54:14.88\00:54:16.62
and couldn't wait
00:54:16.69\00:54:18.02
when we got there
to be with my cousins.
00:54:18.05\00:54:19.72
And, you know, as I got older,
00:54:19.75\00:54:21.76
anywhere I was,
00:54:21.79\00:54:23.12
I could be in college
00:54:23.16\00:54:24.49
or we would be
traveling singing,
00:54:24.53\00:54:26.16
I couldn't wait for
Christmas to get home
00:54:26.19\00:54:29.10
to Christmas to my parents.
00:54:29.13\00:54:31.27
Yeah.
00:54:31.30\00:54:32.63
And they're no longer here
00:54:32.67\00:54:34.57
and this song was
always so special to me then,
00:54:34.60\00:54:38.51
and now it's even more special
00:54:38.54\00:54:40.14
because, you know, what I know,
00:54:40.18\00:54:42.58
I know that even though
they're not here anymore,
00:54:42.61\00:54:45.41
that one day we'll
all be home together.
00:54:45.45\00:54:48.65
We'll all be home
together and I can't wait.
00:54:48.68\00:54:52.69
And even though this is a song
00:54:52.72\00:54:54.32
that's not
necessarily a Christian song
00:54:54.36\00:54:56.89
or religious song,
00:54:56.93\00:54:58.76
it evokes some memories
for me that were wonderful,
00:54:58.79\00:55:03.10
and like I said, I'm
dreaming of that place
00:55:03.13\00:55:06.30
one day when
we'll be together again.
00:55:06.33\00:55:08.10
I'm dreaming tonight
00:55:13.31\00:55:18.38
Of a place that I love
00:55:18.41\00:55:22.85
Even more than I usually do
00:55:22.88\00:55:30.83
And although I know
00:55:30.86\00:55:35.40
It's a long road back
00:55:35.43\00:55:41.64
I promise you
00:55:41.67\00:55:48.04
I'll be home
00:55:48.08\00:55:53.48
For Christmas
00:55:53.52\00:55:56.52
You can count on me
00:56:00.39\00:56:07.03
Please have snow and mistletoe
00:56:13.34\00:56:20.38
And presents under the tree
00:56:24.91\00:56:31.72
Christmas Eve will find me
00:56:38.16\00:56:45.43
Where the love light gleams
00:56:50.47\00:56:57.65
I'll be home
00:57:02.32\00:57:08.06
For Christmas
00:57:08.09\00:57:13.93
If only in my dreams
00:57:13.96\00:57:21.37
Christmas Eve will find me
00:58:16.32\00:58:24.17
Where the love light gleams
00:58:28.47\00:58:35.58
I'll be home
00:58:41.25\00:58:47.16
For Christmas
00:58:47.19\00:58:53.70
If only in my dreams
00:58:53.73\00:59:01.10
If only in my dreams
00:59:06.44\00:59:13.98
