For unto us a child is
born, unto us a Son is given:
00:00:01.36\00:00:05.73
And His name will be called
00:00:05.77\00:00:07.47
Wonderful,
Counselor, The Mighty God,
00:00:07.50\00:00:11.27
The Everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace."

Join Tim Parton, Yvonne
Lewis, and John Lomacang
00:00:18.58\00:00:22.22
as we bring you Christmas
with Tim Parton and Friends.
00:00:22.25\00:00:26.42
A long time ago in Bethlehem
00:00:41.00\00:00:44.01
So the Holy Bible say
00:00:44.04\00:00:48.18
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
00:00:48.21\00:00:51.08
Was born on Christmas day
00:00:51.11\00:00:55.32
Hark now hear the angels sing
00:00:55.35\00:00:58.75
A new king born today
00:00:58.79\00:01:02.22
And man will live forevermore
00:01:02.26\00:01:05.86
Because of Christmas day
00:01:05.89\00:01:11.03
While shepherds
watch their flock by night
00:01:11.07\00:01:14.50
They saw a bright shining star
00:01:14.54\00:01:18.24
And heard a
choir from heaven sing
00:01:18.27\00:01:21.64
The music came from afar
00:01:21.68\00:01:25.45
Hark now hear the angels sing
00:01:25.48\00:01:28.98
A new king born today
00:01:29.02\00:01:32.65
And man will live forevermore
00:01:32.69\00:01:36.26
Because of Christmas day
00:01:36.29\00:01:40.50
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
00:01:43.53\00:01:46.84
Came to Bethlehem that night
00:01:46.87\00:01:50.61
They found no
place to bare her child
00:01:50.64\00:01:54.08
Not a single room was in sight
00:01:54.11\00:01:59.81
By and by they
find a little nook
00:01:59.85\00:02:02.92
In a stable all forlorn
00:02:02.95\00:02:06.69
And in a manger cold and dark
00:02:06.72\00:02:10.03
Mary's little boy child was born
00:02:10.06\00:02:14.16
Hark now hear the angels sing
00:02:14.20\00:02:17.60
A new king born today
00:02:17.63\00:02:21.20
And man will live forevermore
00:02:21.24\00:02:24.84
Because of Christmas day
00:02:24.87\00:02:28.74
Trumpets sound and angels sing
00:02:28.78\00:02:32.41
Listen to what they say
00:02:32.45\00:02:35.68
That man will live forevermore
00:02:35.72\00:02:39.59
Because of Christmas day
00:02:39.62\00:02:45.96
That's a fun song. I love it.
00:02:50.80\00:02:52.13
That is fun. That's fun.
00:02:52.17\00:02:53.50
It's a good start.
00:02:53.54\00:02:54.87
Away in a manger
00:03:08.48\00:03:13.39
No crib for a bed
00:03:13.42\00:03:18.09
The little Lord Jesus
00:03:18.13\00:03:22.76
Laid down His sweet head
00:03:22.80\00:03:27.84
The stars in the sky
00:03:27.87\00:03:31.94
Looked down where He lay
00:03:31.97\00:03:36.95
The little Lord Jesus
00:03:36.98\00:03:42.18
Asleep on the hay
00:03:42.22\00:03:47.06
The cattle are lowing
00:03:52.26\00:03:57.40
The poor baby awakes
00:03:57.43\00:04:01.97
But little Lord Jesus
00:04:02.00\00:04:05.97
No crying He makes
00:04:06.01\00:04:10.51
I love you Lord Jesus
00:04:10.55\00:04:15.25
Look down from the sky
00:04:15.28\00:04:19.85
And stay by my side
00:04:19.89\00:04:25.09
Until morning is nigh
00:04:25.13\00:04:30.53
Be near me Lord Jesus
00:04:36.50\00:04:40.61
I ask you to stay
00:04:40.64\00:04:45.71
Close by me for ever
00:04:45.75\00:04:50.65
And love me, I pray
00:04:50.69\00:04:55.66
Bless all the dear children
00:04:55.69\00:04:59.93
In thy tender care
00:04:59.96\00:05:04.73
And take us to heaven
00:05:04.77\00:05:09.60
To live with you there
00:05:09.64\00:05:17.11
And take us to heaven
00:05:17.15\00:05:23.08
To live with thy there
00:05:23.12\00:05:30.73
Very nice.
00:05:41.40\00:05:44.01
I love those songs.
00:05:44.04\00:05:45.47
Yes, me too.
00:05:45.51\00:05:46.84
Those are timeless
00:05:46.88\00:05:48.21
and that's why we sing
them every year, right?
00:05:48.24\00:05:49.58
That's right and what
makes it so nice is that
00:05:49.61\00:05:52.45
even though these songs
are true all year long...
00:05:52.48\00:05:55.38
It's good to pause
at a time of the year
00:05:55.42\00:05:57.12
when people are
willing to hear about Jesus
00:05:57.15\00:05:59.79
and we know it wasn't
a cold time of the year.
00:05:59.82\00:06:03.63
God is not so
unjust to put His Son
00:06:03.66\00:06:05.23
into a freezing manger.
00:06:05.26\00:06:07.46
But we do know the fact
that Jesus was born in a manger.
00:06:07.50\00:06:10.83
And I like Isaiah the prophet,
when he tells a story, he says,
00:06:10.87\00:06:13.74
"The ox knows
00:06:13.77\00:06:15.10
and the donkey
knows their master."
00:06:15.14\00:06:17.21
But Israel does not know,
they do not know their maker.
00:06:17.24\00:06:21.41
And so as we
pause to acknowledge
00:06:21.44\00:06:23.61
the beauty of these songs,
00:06:23.65\00:06:25.05
we also pause to acknowledge
the timeless message.
00:06:25.08\00:06:29.35
That as we sing these songs,
00:06:29.38\00:06:30.79
we sing them not for the season
but because we know our savior.
00:06:30.82\00:06:33.92
That's right. Yes.
00:06:33.96\00:06:35.29
And what a night it was,
what kind of night it was,
00:06:35.32\00:06:37.09
you know, song
writers traditionally say
00:06:37.13\00:06:39.93
it was a clear
night and it had to be
00:06:39.96\00:06:41.30
to some degree
because they saw the star,
00:06:41.33\00:06:45.33
they saw the star leading
the wise men from Jerusalem
00:06:45.37\00:06:49.84
to find out that
people of God did not know,
00:06:49.87\00:06:53.04
all the way to Bethlehem.
00:06:53.07\00:06:55.24
To find the Christ child
to whom they gave the gifts.
00:06:55.28\00:06:59.25
And in this song
although it's a traditional one,
00:06:59.28\00:07:01.38
we gonna kind of
give it a little flavor,
00:07:01.42\00:07:03.79
that is add a little
bit of gospel style to it.
00:07:03.82\00:07:06.62
But the message
remains untouched.
00:07:06.65\00:07:08.99
That's right. Yvonne,
sing this song for us.
00:07:09.02\00:07:11.99
It came upon the midnight clear
00:07:24.21\00:07:30.18
That glorious song of old
00:07:30.21\00:07:36.22
From angels
bending near the earth
00:07:36.25\00:07:42.12
To touch their harps of gold
00:07:42.16\00:07:48.26
Peace on the
earth, goodwill to men
00:07:48.30\00:07:54.27
From heaven's all gracious King
00:07:54.30\00:08:00.71
The world in
solemn stillness lay
00:08:00.74\00:08:06.58
To hear the angels sing
00:08:06.61\00:08:13.36
For lo!
00:08:16.02\00:08:17.69
The days are hastening on
00:08:17.73\00:08:22.23
By prophets seen of old
00:08:22.26\00:08:27.47
When with the
ever circling years
00:08:27.50\00:08:34.51
Comes around the age of gold
00:08:34.54\00:08:40.75
When peace shall
reign over all the earth
00:08:40.78\00:08:47.36
His angels spread their wings
00:08:47.39\00:08:52.56
The whole world gets back
00:08:52.59\00:08:58.37
The songs which
now the angels sing
00:08:58.40\00:09:05.87
Peace on the
earth, goodwill to men
00:09:05.91\00:09:12.15
From heaven's all gracious King
00:09:12.18\00:09:18.49
The world in
solemn stillness lay
00:09:18.52\00:09:24.76
To hear the angels sing
00:09:24.79\00:09:31.23
The whole world
is backed the song
00:09:31.27\00:09:37.61
Which now the angles sing
00:09:37.64\00:09:45.45
Woo!
00:09:51.75\00:09:53.62
That's a new
flavor. That's right, it is.
00:09:55.52\00:09:57.43
Yes.
00:09:57.46\00:09:59.49
You know every
year at Christmas time,
00:09:59.53\00:10:03.00
I think one of the things,
00:10:03.03\00:10:04.63
some people worry
about is what to get,
00:10:04.67\00:10:07.74
what to give as a gift in
appreciation to each other.
00:10:07.77\00:10:12.47
We exchange gifts,
if you exchange gifts,
00:10:12.51\00:10:16.01
there may be a concern
00:10:16.04\00:10:18.38
and I think
about how the wise men,
00:10:18.41\00:10:21.75
now the Bible talks
about them bringing gifts
00:10:21.78\00:10:25.49
in the Bible and
the frankincense,
00:10:25.52\00:10:27.66
gold and myrrh, I
guess that was by the,
00:10:27.69\00:10:31.06
what they're called
were they, wise men.
00:10:31.09\00:10:33.86
So I wonder what
I would bring today.
00:10:33.90\00:10:40.57
I don't consider myself
to have great riches or,
00:10:40.60\00:10:45.37
you know,
anything of importance,
00:10:45.41\00:10:48.64
basically all I
have to offer is me.
00:10:48.68\00:10:51.35
And as it would turn out,
00:10:51.38\00:10:53.95
that's exactly what He wants.
00:10:53.98\00:10:55.38
Yes.
00:10:55.42\00:10:56.75
So each of us
have what Christ wants
00:10:56.79\00:11:01.82
for Christmas.
00:11:01.86\00:11:05.96
He wants you
00:11:05.99\00:11:07.80
and this is a
nice song talking about
00:11:07.83\00:11:13.23
our Christmas offering.
00:11:13.27\00:11:14.60
Over the skies of
Bethlehem appeared a star
00:11:23.14\00:11:29.98
While angels sang
to lowly shepherds
00:11:30.02\00:11:36.93
Three wise men seeking
truth they traveled from afar
00:11:36.96\00:11:43.57
Hoping to find
the Child from Heaven
00:11:43.60\00:11:49.54
And falling on their knees
00:11:49.57\00:11:52.81
They bow before the
humble prince of peace
00:11:52.84\00:12:00.48
I bring an offering
of worship to our King
00:12:00.52\00:12:07.29
No one on earth
deserves the praises that I sing
00:12:07.32\00:12:14.20
Jesus, may You receive
the honor that You're due
00:12:14.23\00:12:22.00
O Lord, I bring
an offering to You
00:12:22.04\00:12:26.94
The sun cannot compare
to the glory of Your love
00:12:33.31\00:12:40.16
There is no
shadow in Your presence
00:12:40.19\00:12:46.83
No mortal man would dare
to stand before Your throne
00:12:46.86\00:12:53.50
Before the Holy One of Heaven
00:12:53.54\00:12:59.57
It's only by Your blood
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.98
And only through Your mercy
00:13:03.01\00:13:06.82
Lord I come
00:13:06.85\00:13:10.79
I bring an offering
of worship to my King
00:13:10.82\00:13:17.56
No one on earth
deserves the praises that I sing
00:13:17.59\00:13:24.53
Jesus, may You receive
the honor that You're due
00:13:24.57\00:13:32.07
O Lord, I bring
an offering to You
00:13:32.11\00:13:36.68
O Lord, I bring
an offering to You
00:13:58.47\00:14:03.24
Lord, I offer my life to You
00:14:09.98\00:14:15.88
Everything I've been through
00:14:15.92\00:14:21.49
Use it for Your glory
00:14:21.52\00:14:25.39
Lord, I offer my days to You
00:14:25.43\00:14:31.13
Lifting my praise to You
00:14:31.17\00:14:36.71
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:14:36.74\00:14:44.08
Lord, I offer You my life
00:14:44.11\00:14:51.82
Lord, I offer my life to You
00:14:51.85\00:14:57.46
Everything I've been through
00:14:57.49\00:15:02.96
Use it for Your glory
00:15:03.00\00:15:06.77
Lord, I offer my days to You
00:15:06.80\00:15:12.24
Lifting my praise to You
00:15:12.27\00:15:18.05
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:15:18.08\00:15:25.42
Lord, I offer You my life
00:15:25.45\00:15:33.40
Lord, I offer You
00:15:33.43\00:15:38.33
My life
00:15:38.37\00:15:45.84
Amen. Amen.
00:15:55.72\00:15:58.02
What a worshipful
song. Yeah, for sure.
00:15:58.05\00:16:01.82
That's our gift.
00:16:01.86\00:16:03.19
That's right. Is
our worship to Christ.
00:16:03.22\00:16:04.56
That's right. Sure.
00:16:04.59\00:16:05.93
And, you know, when you
think about the offering,
00:16:05.96\00:16:07.93
when Paul says in Romans 12,
00:16:07.96\00:16:10.00
" I beseech you therefore,
00:16:10.03\00:16:11.37
brethren, by the mercies of God,
00:16:11.40\00:16:13.07
that you present your bodies."
00:16:13.10\00:16:15.24
We live in a world were people
would gladly write a check.
00:16:15.27\00:16:19.74
And they would
do their weekly hour
00:16:19.77\00:16:22.71
or may be two or
have a long in church.
00:16:22.74\00:16:25.85
But Jesus didn't
come to write a check.
00:16:25.88\00:16:29.38
He came to offer His life.
00:16:29.42\00:16:30.75
Yes. Right.
00:16:30.79\00:16:32.12
And He is saying in return,
00:16:32.15\00:16:33.49
if anyone would come after Me,
00:16:33.52\00:16:34.86
let him deny himself,
let him take up his cross,
00:16:34.89\00:16:37.76
and so the message in this song
00:16:37.79\00:16:40.36
is not just that we
offer God what we have.
00:16:40.40\00:16:43.30
But as Tim said
early, we offer Him us.
00:16:43.33\00:16:46.07
And I've
discovered as I've grown,
00:16:46.10\00:16:48.37
you know, pastoring all
these years and marriage.
00:16:48.40\00:16:51.54
As I understand the theology
00:16:51.57\00:16:54.54
of what it means
to be a disciple,
00:16:54.58\00:16:56.58
it's not an easy
thing to offer yourself.
00:16:56.61\00:16:58.38
That's right.
00:16:58.41\00:16:59.75
It's not an easy thing to say,
00:16:59.78\00:17:01.12
Lord, I'm going
to lay down every...
00:17:01.15\00:17:02.75
And I could
hear the Lord saying,
00:17:02.78\00:17:04.12
"No, no not that, no, no.
00:17:04.15\00:17:05.85
You can do great.
00:17:05.89\00:17:07.22
Not, not that.
00:17:07.26\00:17:08.69
You, not that."
00:17:08.72\00:17:11.06
And so as you think
about this gift giving season,
00:17:11.09\00:17:15.40
it is a really
good time as the years
00:17:15.43\00:17:16.77
are winding up to say,
00:17:16.80\00:17:18.13
you know, I want to
go on to the next year
00:17:18.17\00:17:19.67
by giving God at least on
par of the gift He gave to me.
00:17:19.70\00:17:23.14
He gave me His life and,
Lord, I offer you my life.
00:17:23.17\00:17:26.07
Thank you for
including that song on this.
00:17:26.11\00:17:27.61
Oh, absolutely, you
know, and this is the time also
00:17:27.64\00:17:30.75
right after that gift
giving season it be going to,
00:17:30.78\00:17:35.52
some people like to make
resolutions for the new year.
00:17:35.55\00:17:39.25
And so what a great opportunity
00:17:39.29\00:17:41.89
to renew that vow
to Christ to give.
00:17:41.92\00:17:45.49
One of the scriptures this year
00:17:45.53\00:17:47.30
that has struck me so much
is the scripture in Matthew,
00:17:47.33\00:17:50.50
where it talks about separating
the goats from the sheep.
00:17:50.53\00:17:53.40
Oh, yeah.
00:17:53.44\00:17:54.77
And the things that
seem so dear to Jesus.
00:17:54.80\00:18:00.74
The one who is separating
the sheep from the goats saying
00:18:00.78\00:18:04.21
you know, I was sick
00:18:04.25\00:18:06.92
and you came and visited
me in the hospital and prison.
00:18:06.95\00:18:10.55
I was poor and you fed
me, hungry and you fed me,
00:18:10.59\00:18:13.09
thirsty and you gave
me something to drink.
00:18:13.12\00:18:15.79
All those things, those are ways
00:18:15.82\00:18:18.09
that I can give...
00:18:18.13\00:18:20.46
Of my life, end of my
time, end of my resources
00:18:20.50\00:18:25.50
and so I really want to,
00:18:25.53\00:18:28.64
offering all that I
have, everything that I have.
00:18:28.67\00:18:31.21
Use it for Your glory, Lord.
00:18:31.24\00:18:32.57
Yeah. And so that's right.
00:18:32.61\00:18:34.44
I want to just add
one more thing to that.
00:18:34.48\00:18:35.88
My wife and I were in
Columbia a number of months ago
00:18:35.91\00:18:38.88
doing evangelism in
the Spanish country.
00:18:38.91\00:18:41.38
And one evening I was
taking out a little mini SD card
00:18:41.42\00:18:45.92
out of my camera and I...
00:18:45.95\00:18:48.22
For all of a sudden
that little thought hit me,
00:18:48.26\00:18:50.66
you can't even take
this to heaven with you.
00:18:50.69\00:18:53.36
It's smaller than my fingernail.
00:18:53.40\00:18:55.20
And I said, "Honey,
we can't even take that
00:18:55.23\00:18:59.20
micro SD card with us,
00:18:59.23\00:19:01.00
why are we sweating over
all this stuff down here?"
00:19:01.04\00:19:03.81
Let's just go and
give our Lord our best.
00:19:03.84\00:19:06.44
And so I know that's
the truth in your life,
00:19:06.47\00:19:08.21
I mean, you've
come out of a world
00:19:08.24\00:19:09.94
that demands everything of you
00:19:09.98\00:19:11.31
and now you've
come in to a world
00:19:11.35\00:19:12.68
that you're willing to give
00:19:12.71\00:19:14.05
everything of
yourself to the Lord.
00:19:14.08\00:19:15.42
Oh, yeah, and there's
nothing better than that.
00:19:15.45\00:19:17.99
You know, there's
nothing better than that,
00:19:18.02\00:19:19.62
but I think a lot of times
we kind of give God crumbs,
00:19:19.65\00:19:24.59
you know, like we don't make Him
00:19:24.63\00:19:27.00
the focal point of
our lives, we fit Him in.
00:19:27.03\00:19:30.70
And one of my resolutions
is to make God first,
00:19:30.73\00:19:36.50
you really make time for
Him because that's the only way
00:19:36.54\00:19:39.21
that He can do the work in me
00:19:39.24\00:19:40.71
that needs to
be done to prepare.
00:19:40.74\00:19:42.94
We can't do
anything to be saved.
00:19:42.98\00:19:45.18
We have to just lay
ourselves at His feet, and say,
00:19:45.21\00:19:47.88
"Lord, fix me, fit
me for the Kingdom."
00:19:47.92\00:19:49.95
That's right.
00:19:49.98\00:19:51.32
And that's it, but if
we don't give Him time
00:19:51.35\00:19:53.22
and if we're doing
this, this and this and say,
00:19:53.25\00:19:55.16
"You know what, I don't
have time for worship right now.
00:19:55.19\00:19:58.86
I don't have time to."
00:19:58.89\00:20:00.70
Then what we're doing is
00:20:00.73\00:20:02.60
we're letting
everything else dominate.
00:20:02.63\00:20:05.23
But we must present ourselves,
00:20:05.27\00:20:07.70
Romans 12, one
that you were saying.
00:20:07.74\00:20:10.01
As living sacrifice is
holy acceptable unto God
00:20:10.04\00:20:13.41
which is our reasonable service.
00:20:13.44\00:20:15.84
So that's what God
would expect us to do,
00:20:15.88\00:20:18.38
and I think this is a
good time to really think about
00:20:18.41\00:20:21.72
where do you put
God, is He first,
00:20:21.75\00:20:24.72
or are you offering Him
yourself as a sacrifice,
00:20:24.75\00:20:27.72
or you're just, you know,
00:20:27.76\00:20:29.09
paying a little money here
and there and thinking that,
00:20:29.12\00:20:30.69
that's enough.
00:20:30.73\00:20:32.49
It's not enough, He wants you.
00:20:32.53\00:20:34.46
You know that song,
00:20:34.50\00:20:35.83
"All He wants is you.
Nothing less will do."
00:20:35.86\00:20:38.87
I mean that's
really what it's all about,
00:20:38.90\00:20:41.44
so God is calling
you to make a decision,
00:20:41.47\00:20:44.74
to make a choice for Him,
00:20:44.77\00:20:46.54
not just, you know,
not just throw Him crumbs,
00:20:46.57\00:20:49.44
He's the
creator of the universe.
00:20:49.48\00:20:52.55
And He wants a relationship
with you and with me.
00:20:52.58\00:20:56.89
You know, if you
think about it...
00:20:56.92\00:20:58.39
If the most, think of the most
00:20:58.42\00:21:01.42
famous person
that you can imagine.
00:21:01.46\00:21:04.96
And that person, he or she
00:21:04.99\00:21:08.03
will seek you out
for a relationship,
00:21:08.06\00:21:10.43
you would be like scrambling
00:21:10.47\00:21:12.93
to get to know that person.
00:21:12.97\00:21:15.37
And here we have the
God of the universe saying,
00:21:15.40\00:21:18.41
I want a relationship with you,
just spend some time with Me.
00:21:18.44\00:21:24.05
So I can fix you
and fix your brokenness
00:21:24.08\00:21:27.32
and we just say,
you know, not right now.
00:21:27.35\00:21:29.92
Right. Not right now.
00:21:29.95\00:21:31.89
Well, you know what,
Lord, I want to say have,
00:21:31.92\00:21:35.76
I want to give you the time now.
00:21:35.79\00:21:37.73
And I think we
all need to make that,
00:21:37.76\00:21:40.26
we all should be
making that resolution
00:21:40.30\00:21:41.86
and sometimes we might mess up.
00:21:41.90\00:21:44.33
But I think we have to decide
00:21:44.37\00:21:47.54
that we want to make God first.
00:21:47.57\00:21:49.07
That's right.
00:21:49.10\00:21:53.04
Yeah, I like this is...
00:21:53.07\00:21:55.58
This is where I'm
going to go with that.
00:21:55.61\00:21:57.15
Good.
00:21:57.18\00:21:58.51
All to Jesus I surrender
00:22:03.89\00:22:11.59
All to Thee I freely give
00:22:11.63\00:22:19.13
I will ever love and trust Him
00:22:19.17\00:22:26.78
In His presence daily live
00:22:26.81\00:22:33.62
That's were I want to
be, in His presence daily.
00:22:33.65\00:22:36.45
So I surrender all
00:22:36.48\00:22:43.02
I surrender all
00:22:45.16\00:22:53.07
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
00:22:53.10\00:23:01.04
I surrender all
00:23:01.08\00:23:07.05
All to Jesus
00:23:19.53\00:23:24.10
I surrender
00:23:24.13\00:23:28.20
All to Him I freely give
00:23:28.24\00:23:34.88
Worldly pleasures
00:23:34.91\00:23:39.61
All forsaken
00:23:39.65\00:23:43.35
Take me, Jesus, make me Thine
00:23:43.39\00:23:51.19
I surrender all
00:23:53.80\00:23:59.93
I surrender all
00:24:01.54\00:24:08.81
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
00:24:08.84\00:24:16.48
I surrender all
00:24:16.52\00:24:21.66
All to Thee, my blessed Savior.
00:24:21.69\00:24:24.33
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
00:24:24.36\00:24:32.27
I surrender all
00:24:35.00\00:24:42.98
I heard the
bells on Christmas day
00:24:55.62\00:25:00.36
Their old familiar carols play
00:25:00.40\00:25:04.53
In music sweet the tones repeat
00:25:04.57\00:25:08.67
There's peace on
earth, good will to men
00:25:08.70\00:25:13.84
I thought how
as the day had come
00:25:13.88\00:25:17.98
The bell freeze
of all pristine dump
00:25:18.01\00:25:22.02
Had hold a long
the unbroken song
00:25:22.05\00:25:26.19
Of peace on
earth, good will to men
00:25:26.22\00:25:32.69
And in despair I bowed my head
00:25:38.63\00:25:43.77
There is no
peace on earth I said
00:25:43.81\00:25:48.24
For hate is
strong and mocks the song
00:25:48.28\00:25:52.55
Of peace on earth
00:25:52.58\00:25:55.08
Good will to men
00:25:55.12\00:26:00.52
Then peel the
bells more loud and deep
00:26:00.56\00:26:05.06
God is not dead,
nor does he sleep
00:26:05.09\00:26:09.10
For Christ is here
00:26:09.13\00:26:11.23
His spirit there
00:26:11.27\00:26:13.37
Brings peace on
earth good will to men
00:26:13.40\00:26:20.91
Amen. Amen.
00:26:44.90\00:26:46.23
Amen.
00:26:46.27\00:26:48.70
Tears are falling,
hearts are breaking
00:27:04.02\00:27:09.56
How we need to hear from God
00:27:09.59\00:27:15.06
You've been
promised, we've been waiting
00:27:15.10\00:27:20.64
Welcome Holy Child
00:27:20.67\00:27:24.77
Welcome Holy Child
00:27:25.77\00:27:30.51
Hope that You
don't mind our manger
00:27:33.62\00:27:38.49
How I wish we would have known
00:27:38.52\00:27:43.32
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
00:27:43.36\00:27:49.06
Make Yourself at home
00:27:49.10\00:27:53.74
Please make Yourself at home
00:27:53.77\00:27:59.94
Bring Your peace
into our violence
00:28:06.38\00:28:11.35
Bid our hungry souls be filled
00:28:11.39\00:28:16.52
Word now
breaking Heaven's silence
00:28:16.56\00:28:21.93
Welcome to our world
00:28:21.96\00:28:26.50
Welcome to our world
00:28:27.10\00:28:32.34
Fragile finger sent to heal us
00:28:38.65\00:28:43.89
Tender brow prepared for thorn
00:28:43.92\00:28:49.22
Tiny heart whose
blood will save us
00:28:49.26\00:28:55.30
Unto us is born
00:28:55.33\00:28:59.47
Unto us is born
00:29:01.20\00:29:05.97
So wrap our
injured flesh around You
00:29:12.61\00:29:18.72
Breathe our air and walk our sod
00:29:18.75\00:29:24.59
Rob our sins and make us holy
00:29:24.63\00:29:30.87
Perfect Son of God
00:29:30.90\00:29:34.80
Perfect Son of God
00:29:36.54\00:29:43.45
Welcome to our world
00:29:43.48\00:29:51.42
Precious. Amen.
00:30:03.16\00:30:04.83
Very nice, good
job. Yes, yes, for sure.
00:30:04.87\00:30:07.07
Praise the Lord.
00:30:07.10\00:30:08.44
What's in the name,
00:30:08.47\00:30:09.90
I've two sons and I know when...
00:30:09.94\00:30:14.51
When we were trying
to come up with names,
00:30:14.54\00:30:18.68
you know, how do
you choose a name?
00:30:18.71\00:30:20.72
It's sometimes, you
can choose a family name,
00:30:20.75\00:30:22.75
you know, if it's
somebody in the a father,
00:30:22.78\00:30:25.19
a grandfather, a
great grandfather,
00:30:25.22\00:30:27.22
sometimes you use
the mother's maiden name
00:30:27.26\00:30:30.13
as the first name
if it's appropriate
00:30:30.16\00:30:31.76
but to one of the...
00:30:31.79\00:30:34.60
Probably a very difficult
and stressful things about
00:30:34.63\00:30:38.23
having a child is
choosing the name.
00:30:38.27\00:30:41.40
And Elijah and Grae,
00:30:41.44\00:30:45.34
I know we thought
our oldest was a girl,
00:30:45.37\00:30:50.01
so we thought Grace
would be good for a name
00:30:50.05\00:30:53.98
and found out it was a
boy and we just took the C out
00:30:54.02\00:30:57.75
and spelled it G-R-A-E, Grae.
00:30:57.79\00:31:00.46
And so, and he
is a beautiful guy,
00:31:00.49\00:31:03.06
he's not, he's not
gray in his color...
00:31:03.09\00:31:06.23
Or gray hair. Or gray hair.
00:31:06.26\00:31:08.36
He's got a lot of grey
matter though, how's that.
00:31:08.40\00:31:10.43
A lot of grey
matter, right, he does.
00:31:10.47\00:31:12.27
And so I can imagine how helpful
00:31:12.30\00:31:16.87
it would have
been for the angel,
00:31:16.91\00:31:19.51
when the angel said,
"You shall call his name."
00:31:19.54\00:31:22.78
Yeah.
00:31:22.81\00:31:24.15
Jesus. Yes.
00:31:24.18\00:31:25.61
For He will be the
savior of the world
00:31:25.65\00:31:27.92
and so I just, I like
that, any thoughts on names?
00:31:27.95\00:31:32.22
Oh, you have two sons. Yes.
00:31:32.25\00:31:34.02
I mean, how did
you pick their names?
00:31:34.06\00:31:35.92
You know, just kind
of going back and forth
00:31:35.96\00:31:38.89
and trying to figure
out which names work,
00:31:38.93\00:31:40.96
like I didn't want anything
that was too off the wall,
00:31:41.00\00:31:44.50
just regular names. Right.
00:31:44.53\00:31:46.57
You know, nothing
that's too different.
00:31:46.60\00:31:48.07
Nothing that they would
hate you for when they grew up.
00:31:48.10\00:31:50.01
Exactly, nothing
that would get them
00:31:50.04\00:31:51.64
tossed out of a
job interview at,
00:31:51.67\00:31:53.44
you know, some
point later in life.
00:31:53.48\00:31:55.28
And so I just thought,
okay, what about this name,
00:31:55.31\00:31:59.45
what about that name,
00:31:59.48\00:32:00.82
and talked it
over with their dads,
00:32:00.85\00:32:02.45
and they kind of, you know,
00:32:02.48\00:32:04.42
it just kind of fell into place.
00:32:04.45\00:32:06.76
And they kind of
match their name to me,
00:32:06.79\00:32:08.89
Mark and Jason.
Funny how that works.
00:32:08.92\00:32:10.26
They do, they
kind of matching me.
00:32:10.29\00:32:11.73
You can't imagine
them anything else.
00:32:11.76\00:32:13.29
I know, exactly,
exactly but, you know,
00:32:13.33\00:32:18.50
a name I've been
kind of studying up
00:32:18.53\00:32:21.00
on the whole idea of names
00:32:21.04\00:32:23.74
and how the name is
often tied into character.
00:32:23.77\00:32:29.44
Yeah.
00:32:29.48\00:32:30.81
And so we think about
Jesus of course, His name.
00:32:30.85\00:32:33.92
I shall call His name Jesus
for He shall save His people
00:32:33.95\00:32:36.18
from their sins.
00:32:36.22\00:32:37.55
So we know
that, that name Jesus,
00:32:37.59\00:32:41.79
Yeshua is a special name.
00:32:41.82\00:32:45.16
That's right. Nice.
00:32:45.19\00:32:47.36
And think about
His name, I mean,
00:32:47.40\00:32:50.67
all the demons of darkness,
when they hear the name Jesus,
00:32:50.70\00:32:54.47
they've got to
flee, at the name of Jesus
00:32:54.50\00:32:57.07
we are told that in the future,
there is going to be a time
00:32:57.11\00:33:01.81
where everyone
who has ever lived
00:33:01.84\00:33:03.85
will be alive.
00:33:03.88\00:33:06.95
And at the name of
Jesus, every knee will bow,
00:33:06.98\00:33:11.52
every tongue will confess
00:33:11.55\00:33:13.92
that Jesus is Lord to
the glory of the Father.
00:33:13.96\00:33:16.42
Who could have
such a powerful name?
00:33:16.46\00:33:18.39
I remember growing up
when my sister would say,
00:33:18.43\00:33:21.53
"Papa's home."
00:33:21.56\00:33:23.06
Well, whatever I was doing,
00:33:23.10\00:33:24.43
it's like if it's
not authorized by papa,
00:33:24.47\00:33:26.33
it's time to cut it out.
00:33:26.37\00:33:28.00
Well, you know,
we live in a world
00:33:28.04\00:33:29.37
where people are doing things
that are not authorized by God.
00:33:29.40\00:33:31.94
But, you know,
you're living at an hour
00:33:31.97\00:33:34.34
where you could
still make a decision,
00:33:34.38\00:33:35.78
that when His name is called,
you don't have to run in fear.
00:33:35.81\00:33:39.35
That's right.
00:33:39.38\00:33:40.72
He is the lamb, He is the lamb,
00:33:40.75\00:33:43.99
He is not angry at
us, He's come to save us,
00:33:44.02\00:33:47.66
and that's what this
whole season is about.
00:33:47.69\00:33:50.06
That's right.
00:33:50.09\00:33:51.43
We just want to
kind of remind people
00:33:51.46\00:33:52.79
that the season
while it's just a...
00:33:52.83\00:33:54.63
To me, I love
celebrating Christmas.
00:33:54.66\00:33:57.17
I mean, I really
do, I like the trees,
00:33:57.20\00:33:59.73
I know people have
issues on trees, and lights,
00:33:59.77\00:34:01.94
and the tinsel
and all that stuff.
00:34:01.97\00:34:04.17
It's a celebratory
holiday. Absolutely.
00:34:04.21\00:34:07.61
It's good to end a terrible year
00:34:07.64\00:34:09.21
with something
to be happy about.
00:34:09.24\00:34:10.58
That's right. Yes, that's right.
00:34:10.61\00:34:11.95
You know, just
roll me in the snow,
00:34:11.98\00:34:13.31
just let me freeze
and smile for a chance.
00:34:13.35\00:34:16.58
You're taking it a
little far for me now.
00:34:16.62\00:34:18.39
You don't like
always. No snow. No snow.
00:34:18.42\00:34:20.22
Well, I mean, when I lived
in California by Placerville,
00:34:20.26\00:34:24.83
when I was in Heritage
Singers, we would, you know,
00:34:24.86\00:34:26.63
get all the best
snowsuits we can,
00:34:26.66\00:34:28.30
at least the best
snowsuits whatever Lucy Mayes,
00:34:28.33\00:34:31.33
Mac Smith's wife
had that we could fit
00:34:31.37\00:34:33.94
and we get garbage
can covers or slays,
00:34:33.97\00:34:36.40
and we roll down the hill
00:34:36.44\00:34:37.77
and the snow
would just gently knock
00:34:37.81\00:34:39.57
at the front of the
ski, and just cover us,
00:34:39.61\00:34:42.74
and our faces
would be pulverized
00:34:42.78\00:34:44.41
for a frozen
moment, and we go back home,
00:34:44.45\00:34:47.02
and sit down and talk,
and let ourselves thought out,
00:34:47.05\00:34:50.89
and say, "Thank
you, Lord, for taking us
00:34:50.92\00:34:52.25
to the end of the year."
00:34:52.29\00:34:53.62
So as we think about the season,
00:34:53.66\00:34:54.99
narrow it down, not to the gift
of just His life but the name.
00:34:55.02\00:34:59.13
Call on Him,
while He can be found
00:34:59.16\00:35:01.76
and you'll know that this season
00:35:01.80\00:35:03.33
will take on a
completely different meaning.
00:35:03.37\00:35:05.27
Yes. Nice.
00:35:05.30\00:35:09.20
Master, Redeemer
00:35:09.24\00:35:13.78
Savior of the world.
00:35:13.81\00:35:18.78
Wonderful, Counselor
00:35:18.81\00:35:23.49
Bright Morning Star
00:35:23.52\00:35:28.99
Lily of the valley
00:35:29.02\00:35:33.19
Provider, and Friend
00:35:33.23\00:35:37.20
He was yesterday
00:35:37.23\00:35:40.24
He'll be tomorrow
00:35:40.27\00:35:43.27
Beginning and the end
00:35:43.30\00:35:49.34
But the angel called Him
00:35:49.38\00:35:54.32
Jesus, born of a virgin
00:35:54.35\00:36:01.99
Mary called Him Jesus
00:36:05.86\00:36:12.70
But I call Him Lord
00:36:12.73\00:36:18.34
Jehovah, Messiah
00:36:24.15\00:36:28.22
Mighty God and King
00:36:28.25\00:36:32.35
Bread of Life,
lasting words of love
00:36:32.39\00:36:37.03
The song that I sing
00:36:37.06\00:36:40.50
He is the Light in darkness
00:36:40.53\00:36:43.47
Door to heaven,
my home in the sky
00:36:43.50\00:36:49.60
He's the
Fountain of Living Water
00:36:49.64\00:36:54.91
That never shall run dry
00:36:54.94\00:37:01.28
But the angel called Him
00:37:01.32\00:37:04.35
Jesus, born of a virgin
00:37:04.39\00:37:12.33
Mary called Him Jesus
00:37:16.00\00:37:22.90
But I call Him Lord
00:37:22.94\00:37:30.48
And I'll never regret
making that decision, right?
00:37:31.81\00:37:38.39
Yes, I call Him Lord
00:37:38.42\00:37:46.33
He's my Lord. Amen.
00:37:48.56\00:37:50.97
You know as you
were singing that song,
00:37:51.00\00:37:52.40
I was singing along
with you in my head.
00:37:52.43\00:37:54.50
Okay.
00:37:54.54\00:37:55.97
Mary called Him
Jesus, but I call Him Lord.
00:37:56.00\00:38:00.08
And I was thinking, we
had been talking about names,
00:38:00.11\00:38:02.54
how do you come up with a name.
00:38:02.58\00:38:03.98
You know there's
going to be a time,
00:38:04.01\00:38:06.11
that everybody
who has ever lived
00:38:06.15\00:38:08.72
is going to be
alive on the earth.
00:38:08.75\00:38:10.92
And what a glorious
day that's going to be
00:38:10.95\00:38:12.82
but now, what's so
nice about that song is
00:38:12.85\00:38:15.72
I could call Him Lord too.
00:38:15.76\00:38:17.96
You see, we can call Him Lord
00:38:17.99\00:38:19.69
and who we are
sharing with you is the Lord.
00:38:19.73\00:38:23.30
We always say Jesus is
the reason for the season,
00:38:23.33\00:38:27.20
but He is the
Lord of the season.
00:38:27.24\00:38:28.57
That's right.
00:38:28.60\00:38:29.94
So if you're in
Walmart, that's our famous store
00:38:29.97\00:38:31.57
here in Southern
Illinois, when we go to Walmart,
00:38:31.61\00:38:33.64
we feel like we
are at North Shrimps
00:38:33.68\00:38:36.64
'cause that's about as
close as we're going to get
00:38:36.68\00:38:38.11
to North Shrimp
for an airplane ride.
00:38:38.15\00:38:41.28
But we could walk
into Walmart, and Kmart,
00:38:41.32\00:38:44.52
and Sam's Club and all of our...
00:38:44.55\00:38:46.15
Even a little mall
down in Carbondale,
00:38:46.19\00:38:48.09
and hear songs about
somebody saying the name Jesus.
00:38:48.12\00:38:52.86
But I want to dare you
to take the name of Jesus
00:38:52.89\00:38:55.80
beyond December 25th
00:38:55.83\00:38:57.70
'cause we are so holiday geared
00:38:57.73\00:39:00.04
that we forget
to be Jesus geared.
00:39:00.07\00:39:02.10
Thank you for sharing that song.
00:39:02.14\00:39:03.47
Thanking the Lord. Amen.
00:39:03.51\00:39:04.84
Make Him your Lord.
That's good. That's good.
00:39:04.87\00:39:06.21
Here is another classic song
that I learned as a kid called
00:39:06.24\00:39:08.78
Beautiful star of Bethlehem,
00:39:08.81\00:39:10.51
sing along with me,
all right, if you know it.
00:39:10.55\00:39:12.11
Okay.
00:39:12.15\00:39:14.25
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem
00:39:19.82\00:39:24.29
Shinning afar
through shadows dimmed
00:39:24.33\00:39:28.66
Giving the life for
those who long have gone
00:39:28.70\00:39:36.60
Guiding the
wise men on their way
00:39:36.64\00:39:41.01
Unto the place where Jesus lay
00:39:41.04\00:39:45.08
Beautiful star of
Bethlehem shine on
00:39:45.11\00:39:53.05
Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem
00:39:53.09\00:40:00.83
Shine upon us
until the glory dawn
00:40:02.03\00:40:09.44
Give us Thy
light to light the way
00:40:10.54\00:40:14.91
Unto the land of perfect day
00:40:14.94\00:40:19.21
Beautiful star of Bethlehem
00:40:19.25\00:40:23.45
Shine on, shine on
00:40:23.49\00:40:29.52
Oh, beautiful
star the hope of light
00:40:35.63\00:40:40.34
Guiding the
pilgrims through the night
00:40:40.37\00:40:44.47
Over the mountains
'till the break of dawn
00:40:44.51\00:40:52.41
Into the land of perfect day
00:40:52.45\00:40:57.02
It will give out a lovely ray
00:40:57.05\00:41:00.86
Oh, beautiful star
00:41:00.89\00:41:03.12
Of Bethlehem shine on
00:41:03.16\00:41:09.33
Oh, beautiful star
00:41:09.36\00:41:13.64
Of Bethlehem
00:41:13.67\00:41:18.17
Shine upon us
until the glory dawn
00:41:18.21\00:41:26.15
Oh, give us Thy
light to light the way
00:41:26.18\00:41:31.29
Unto the land of perfect day
00:41:31.32\00:41:35.56
Beautiful star
00:41:35.59\00:41:37.39
Of Bethlehem shine on
00:41:37.43\00:41:43.93
Oh, beautiful star
00:41:43.97\00:41:48.20
Of Bethlehem
00:41:48.24\00:41:52.67
Shine upon us
00:41:52.71\00:41:54.58
Until the glory dawn
00:41:54.61\00:42:01.25
Give us Thy
light to light the way
00:42:01.28\00:42:05.52
Unto the land of perfect day
00:42:05.55\00:42:09.76
Beautiful star of Bethlehem
00:42:09.79\00:42:14.06
Shine on
00:42:14.10\00:42:16.46
Shine on
00:42:16.50\00:42:24.04
We know you knew
that when you were little,
00:42:24.07\00:42:26.07
we might not know it.
00:42:26.11\00:42:27.74
That's all right.
That's a good time.
00:42:27.78\00:42:29.34
Grace is sufficient for me.
00:42:29.38\00:42:30.81
That's right. That's right.
00:42:30.85\00:42:32.18
And that's what,
00:42:32.21\00:42:33.55
you know, sometimes
you just have to have fun.
00:42:33.58\00:42:34.92
That's right.
00:42:34.95\00:42:36.28
And I think that our
audience would appreciate
00:42:36.32\00:42:37.89
that we could have fun too,
00:42:37.92\00:42:39.25
we don't have to be
perfect all the time.
00:42:39.29\00:42:40.62
That's right.
That's a good thing.
00:42:40.66\00:42:41.99
As you can tell, you
don't have to be perfect.
00:42:42.02\00:42:43.36
Right, it is a good thing.
00:42:43.39\00:42:44.73
Our perfection doesn't take away
00:42:44.76\00:42:46.49
from the perfection of
the beautiful star of Jesus.
00:42:46.53\00:42:49.10
That's exactly
right. Or our imperfection.
00:42:49.13\00:42:51.53
Yeah, that's
what I meant, right.
00:42:51.57\00:42:53.80
Here is a beautiful song,
00:42:53.84\00:42:56.94
and if our friends
at home know this song,
00:42:56.97\00:43:00.91
this is a great lyric,
00:43:00.94\00:43:03.35
I'm just going to play this one.
00:43:03.38\00:43:05.65
Thou didst leave thy throne.
00:43:05.68\00:43:07.38
Amen.
00:46:02.02\00:46:03.36
You know the last
line of that song?
00:46:03.39\00:46:04.93
It says,
00:46:04.96\00:46:06.66
"There is room in
my heart for Thee."
00:46:06.70\00:46:08.36
Right?
00:46:08.40\00:46:11.27
Again, talking about
making room for Christ,
00:46:11.30\00:46:14.47
so it's a good song,
it's a pretty, pretty song.
00:46:14.50\00:46:16.67
It's beautiful.
00:46:16.71\00:46:18.77
Would you like to
sing little Silent Night?
00:46:18.81\00:46:20.31
Sure.
00:46:20.34\00:46:21.68
I think that would
be very appropriate.
00:46:21.71\00:46:23.04
Sure.
00:46:23.08\00:46:24.41
Silent night
00:46:39.59\00:46:44.53
Holy night
00:46:44.57\00:46:49.20
All is calm
00:46:49.24\00:46:54.51
And all is bright
00:46:54.54\00:46:59.85
Round yon Virgin
00:46:59.88\00:47:04.72
Mother and Child
00:47:04.75\00:47:08.96
Holy infant

Silent night
00:47:47.66\00:47:51.83
Holy night
00:47:51.87\00:47:55.87
Shepherds quake

Glories stream from heaven afar

Christ the Savior
00:48:29.60\00:48:34.78
Is born
00:48:34.81\00:48:39.55
O Holy Night
00:48:43.49\00:48:47.56
The stars are brightly shining
00:48:47.59\00:48:53.90

00:48:53.93\00:49:00.20

00:49:00.24\00:49:03.34
Silent night
00:49:03.37\00:49:08.04
Holy night
00:49:08.08\00:49:13.05
Son of God love's
00:49:13.08\00:49:20.09
Pure light
00:49:20.12\00:49:22.92
Radiant beams
00:49:22.96\00:49:26.70
From Thy holy face
00:49:26.73\00:49:31.43
With dawn
00:49:31.47\00:49:35.00
Of redeeming grace
00:49:35.04\00:49:40.64
Jesus Lord
00:49:40.68\00:49:45.25
At Thy
00:49:45.28\00:49:46.68
Birth
00:49:46.72\00:49:53.56
Jesus Lord
00:49:53.59\00:49:59.29
At Thy
00:49:59.33\00:50:02.86
Birth
00:50:02.90\00:50:09.90
Amen. Amen.
00:50:23.99\00:50:25.32
Amen.
00:50:25.35\00:50:27.59
You know we
think about that song,
00:50:27.62\00:50:31.03
there was a negro
spiritual written a while ago,
00:50:31.06\00:50:33.76
and I looked into
the history behind it
00:50:33.80\00:50:35.16
and it was a
time when in America,
00:50:35.20\00:50:37.87
a dark history of America
00:50:37.90\00:50:39.43
when slaves and the
tasking of the nation
00:50:39.47\00:50:44.44
was on the shoulders of people
00:50:44.47\00:50:46.57
who had been
against their will brought
00:50:46.61\00:50:48.44
to the country
00:50:48.48\00:50:49.81
but they thought
about the season,
00:50:49.84\00:50:51.88
it still didn't leave them.
00:50:51.91\00:50:54.38
And they instead of
rejoicing as everyone would,
00:50:54.42\00:50:58.15
they thought about
00:50:58.19\00:51:00.22
the hardship of
the road of Jesus
00:51:00.26\00:51:02.89
and this song
Sweet Little Jesus Boy
00:51:02.92\00:51:05.46
was written through
the tears of a people
00:51:05.49\00:51:08.73
and at a time
00:51:08.76\00:51:10.30
that joy wasn't the
best thing in the atmosphere,
00:51:10.33\00:51:13.07
but its message has
continued to resonate
00:51:13.10\00:51:16.77
and, you know, as
we go through the...
00:51:16.81\00:51:19.11
We have negro spirituals,
00:51:19.14\00:51:21.44
then somebody
changes the grammar
00:51:21.48\00:51:23.95
because your dad
was an English teacher.
00:51:23.98\00:51:25.58
Right.
00:51:25.61\00:51:26.95
And we talked
about this and said,
00:51:26.98\00:51:28.62
how do you say
words that are broken
00:51:28.65\00:51:31.49
and fanatically incorrect,
00:51:31.52\00:51:33.56
but that was the
whole message of the song,
00:51:33.59\00:51:36.26
and so enjoy
this negro spiritual
00:51:36.29\00:51:38.73
that takes us to the season
00:51:38.76\00:51:40.36
and the people that
communicated this message.
00:51:40.40\00:51:42.73
Sweet little Jesus boy
00:51:49.80\00:51:55.34
They made you
be born in a manger
00:51:55.38\00:52:02.35
Sweet little holy child
00:52:02.38\00:52:09.39
We didn't know
00:52:09.42\00:52:11.03
who you were
00:52:11.06\00:52:17.33
Didn't know you'd
come to save us, Lord
00:52:17.37\00:52:22.84
To take our sins away
00:52:22.87\00:52:28.98
Our eyes were blind
00:52:29.01\00:52:33.92
We couldn't see
00:52:33.95\00:52:40.06
We didn't know
00:52:40.09\00:52:42.36
Who you were
00:52:42.39\00:52:47.13
Long time ago
00:52:51.10\00:52:56.87
You was born
00:52:56.91\00:53:02.94
Born in a manger, Lord
00:53:02.98\00:53:09.88
Sweet little Jesus
00:53:09.92\00:53:13.96
Boy
00:53:13.99\00:53:18.13
You have told us how
00:53:18.16\00:53:25.90
We are trying
00:53:25.93\00:53:32.51
Master, You have shown us
00:53:32.54\00:53:38.81
How
00:53:38.85\00:53:43.65
Even when
00:53:43.69\00:53:47.56
You were dying
00:53:47.59\00:53:53.53
Just seems like
00:54:06.68\00:54:09.58
We can't do right
00:54:09.61\00:54:12.71
Look how we treated you
00:54:12.75\00:54:18.49
But please Sir
00:54:18.52\00:54:23.63
Forgive us, Lord
00:54:23.66\00:54:30.47
We didn't know
00:54:30.50\00:54:33.17
It was you
00:54:33.20\00:54:41.18
Sweet little Jesus boy
00:54:41.21\00:54:47.32
Born a long time ago
00:54:47.35\00:54:52.82
Sweet little holy child
00:54:52.85\00:54:59.13
And we didn't know
00:54:59.16\00:55:02.10
Who you
00:55:02.13\00:55:06.47
Were
00:55:06.50\00:55:13.41
Amen. Amen.
00:55:20.05\00:55:21.38
Wow, thank you.
00:55:21.42\00:55:22.75
Thank you for adding that
note that I could not add.
00:55:22.78\00:55:25.45
Well, thanks for
inviting me to sing with you.
00:55:25.49\00:55:28.12
You know, this is a
joyful time of the year,
00:55:28.16\00:55:29.59
those of you who are...
00:55:29.62\00:55:30.96
Thank you for taking the time
00:55:30.99\00:55:32.33
to spend with Tim,
and Yvonne, and me,
00:55:32.36\00:55:35.20
and with your 3ABN family.
00:55:35.23\00:55:37.17
And as we kind of
close out this program,
00:55:37.20\00:55:40.44
it's been a wonderful time.
00:55:40.47\00:55:42.14
It's a time of the year
00:55:42.17\00:55:43.51
where we pull out our old lyrics
00:55:43.54\00:55:44.87
and try to remember
00:55:44.91\00:55:46.24
what we did not
sing all year long.
00:55:46.27\00:55:48.81
And you have prayed
with us all year long,
00:55:48.84\00:55:50.85
you have supported this network
00:55:50.88\00:55:52.21
and we thank you so much for it,
00:55:52.25\00:55:53.58
but we got to go out
00:55:53.62\00:55:54.95
with some of the
traditional songs,
00:55:54.98\00:55:56.32
Joy to the World
and whatever else
00:55:56.35\00:55:57.69
the Lord sends
to your fingertips.
00:55:57.72\00:55:59.49
We'll sing along with you
and you sing along with us.
00:55:59.52\00:56:01.76
Thank you so much,
and may God bless you.
00:56:01.79\00:56:03.93
Joy to the world
00:56:07.53\00:56:09.96
The Lord has come
00:56:10.00\00:56:12.33
Let earth receive her King
00:56:12.37\00:56:17.44
Let every heart prepare Him room
00:56:17.47\00:56:22.44
And heaven and nature sing
00:56:22.48\00:56:24.88
And heaven and nature sing
00:56:24.91\00:56:27.42
And heaven and
heaven and nature sing
00:56:27.45\00:56:33.15
He rules the world
with truth and grace
00:56:37.49\00:56:42.46
And makes the nations prove
00:56:42.50\00:56:47.44
The glories of His righteousness
00:56:47.47\00:56:52.54
And wonders of His love
00:56:52.57\00:56:54.94
And wonders of His love
00:56:54.98\00:56:57.45
And wonders wonders of His love
00:56:57.48\00:57:03.65
Merry Christmas.
00:57:34.72\00:57:36.05
Merry Christmas.
00:57:36.08\00:57:37.85
