For unto us a child is
born, unto us a Son is given:
00:00:01.33\00:00:05.67
And His name will be called
00:00:05.70\00:00:07.40
Wonderful,
Counselor, The Mighty God,
00:00:07.44\00:00:11.21
The Everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace."
00:00:11.24\00:00:15.54
Join Tim Parton, Yvonne
Lewis, and John Lomacang
00:00:18.51\00:00:22.15
as we bring you Christmas
with Tim Parton and Friends.
00:00:22.18\00:00:26.35
A long time ago in Bethlehem
00:00:40.90\00:00:43.94
So the Holy Bible say
00:00:43.97\00:00:48.08
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
00:00:48.11\00:00:50.98
Was born on Christmas day
00:00:51.01\00:00:55.22
Hark now hear the angels sing
00:00:55.25\00:00:58.65
A new king born today
00:00:58.69\00:01:02.19
And man will live forevermore
00:01:02.22\00:01:05.83
Because of Christmas day
00:01:05.86\00:01:10.97
While shepherds
watch their flock by night
00:01:11.00\00:01:14.44
They saw a bright shining star
00:01:14.47\00:01:18.17
And heard a
choir from heaven sing
00:01:18.21\00:01:21.58
The music came from afar
00:01:21.61\00:01:25.38
Hark now hear the angels sing
00:01:25.41\00:01:28.92
A new king born today
00:01:28.95\00:01:32.59
And man will live forevermore
00:01:32.62\00:01:36.19
Because of Christmas day
00:01:36.22\00:01:40.46
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
00:01:43.43\00:01:46.77
Came to Bethlehem that night
00:01:46.80\00:01:50.54
They found no
place to bare her child
00:01:50.57\00:01:54.01
Not a single room was in sight
00:01:54.04\00:01:59.71
By and by they
find a little nook
00:01:59.75\00:02:02.88
In a stable all forlorn
00:02:02.92\00:02:06.65
And in a manger cold and dark
00:02:06.69\00:02:10.03
Mary's little boy child was born
00:02:10.06\00:02:14.10
Hark now hear the angels sing
00:02:14.20\00:02:17.53
A new king born today
00:02:17.57\00:02:21.14
And man will live forevermore
00:02:21.17\00:02:24.77
Because of Christmas day
00:02:24.81\00:02:28.68
Trumpets sound and angels sing
00:02:28.71\00:02:32.35
Listen to what they say
00:02:32.38\00:02:35.62
That man will live forevermore
00:02:35.65\00:02:39.52
Because of Christmas day
00:02:39.55\00:02:45.89
That's a fun song. I love it.
00:02:50.70\00:02:52.03
That is fun. That's fun.
00:02:52.07\00:02:53.40
It's a good start.
00:02:53.47\00:02:54.80
Away in a manger
00:03:08.45\00:03:13.36
No crib for a bed
00:03:13.39\00:03:18.06
The little Lord Jesus
00:03:18.09\00:03:22.70
Laid down His sweet head
00:03:22.73\00:03:27.77
The stars in the sky
00:03:27.80\00:03:31.87
Looked down where He lay
00:03:31.91\00:03:36.91
The little Lord Jesus
00:03:36.95\00:03:42.12
Asleep on the hay
00:03:42.15\00:03:47.02
The cattle are lowing
00:03:52.19\00:03:57.30
The poor baby awakes
00:03:57.33\00:04:01.94
But little Lord Jesus
00:04:01.97\00:04:05.94
No crying He makes
00:04:05.97\00:04:10.48
I love you Lord Jesus
00:04:10.55\00:04:15.22
Look down from the sky
00:04:15.25\00:04:19.82
And stay by my side
00:04:19.85\00:04:25.06
Until morning is nigh
00:04:25.09\00:04:30.47
Be near me Lord Jesus
00:04:36.44\00:04:40.54
I ask you to stay
00:04:40.58\00:04:45.65
Close by me for ever
00:04:45.68\00:04:50.59
And love me, I pray
00:04:50.65\00:04:55.59
Bless all the dear children
00:04:55.62\00:04:59.86
In thy tender care
00:04:59.89\00:05:04.70
And take us to heaven
00:05:04.73\00:05:09.57
To live with you there
00:05:09.60\00:05:17.08
And take us to heaven
00:05:17.15\00:05:23.05
To live with thy there
00:05:23.08\00:05:30.73
Very nice.
00:05:41.34\00:05:43.97
I love those songs.
00:05:44.01\00:05:45.41
Yes, me too.
00:05:45.44\00:05:46.78
Those are timeless
00:05:46.84\00:05:48.18
and that's why we sing
them every year, right?
00:05:48.21\00:05:49.54
That's right and what
makes it so nice is that
00:05:49.58\00:05:52.38
even though these songs
are true all year long...
00:05:52.41\00:05:55.32
It's good to pause
at a time of the year
00:05:55.35\00:05:57.05
when people are
willing to hear about Jesus
00:05:57.09\00:05:59.72
and we know it wasn't
a cold time of the year.
00:05:59.75\00:06:03.66
God is not so
unjust to put His Son
00:06:03.69\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\00:06:10.80
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\00:06:21.38
And so as we
pause to acknowledge
00:06:21.41\00:06:23.58
the beauty of these songs,
00:06:23.65\00:06:25.01
we also pause to acknowledge
the timeless message.
00:06:25.05\00:06:29.32
That as we sing these songs,
00:06:29.35\00:06:30.79
we sing them not for the season
but because we know our savior.
00:06:30.82\00:06:33.89
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\00:06:37.06
you know, song
writers traditionally say
00:06:37.13\00:06:39.89
it was a clear
night and it had to be
00:06:39.93\00:06:41.23
to some degree
because they saw the star,
00:06:41.26\00:06:45.27
they saw the star leading
the wise men from Jerusalem
00:06:45.30\00:06:49.77
to find out that
people of God did not know,
00:06:49.80\00:06:52.97
all the way to Bethlehem.
00:06:53.01\00:06:55.18
To find the Christ child
to whom they gave the gifts.
00:06:55.21\00:06:59.18
And in this song
although it's a traditional one,
00:06:59.21\00:07:01.38
we gonna kind of
give it a little flavor,
00:07:01.42\00:07:03.82
that is add a little
bit of gospel style to it.
00:07:03.85\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\00:07:30.15
That glorious song of old
00:07:30.18\00:07:36.18
From angels
bending near the earth
00:07:36.22\00:07:42.09
To touch their harps of gold
00:07:42.12\00:07:48.20
Peace on the
earth, goodwill to men
00:07:48.23\00:07:54.20
From heaven's all gracious King
00:07:54.24\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\00:08:13.39
For lo!
00:08:16.02\00:08:17.69
The days are hastening on
00:08:17.73\00:08:22.20
By prophets seen of old
00:08:22.23\00:08:27.44
When with the
ever circling years
00:08:27.47\00:08:34.48
Comes around the age of gold
00:08:34.51\00:08:40.72
When peace shall
reign over all the earth
00:08:40.75\00:08:47.36
His angels spread their wings
00:08:47.39\00:08:52.53
The whole world gets back
00:08:52.56\00:08:58.30
The songs which
now the angels sing
00:08:58.33\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\00:09:31.20
The whole world
is backed the song
00:09:31.23\00:09:37.61
Which now the angles sing
00:09:37.64\00:09:45.41
Woo!
00:09:51.72\00:09:53.59
That's a new
flavor. That's right, it is.
00:09:55.49\00:09:57.43
Yes.
00:09:57.46\00:09:59.46
You know every
year at Christmas time,
00:09:59.49\00:10:02.93
I think one of the things,
00:10:02.96\00:10:04.57
some people worry
about is what to get,
00:10:04.60\00:10:07.67
what to give as a gift in
appreciation to each other.
00:10:07.70\00:10:12.41
We exchange gifts,
if you exchange gifts,
00:10:12.44\00:10:15.94
there may be a concern
00:10:15.98\00:10:18.31
and I think
about how the wise men,
00:10:18.35\00:10:21.68
now the Bible talks
about them bringing gifts
00:10:21.72\00:10:25.42
in the Bible and
the frankincense,
00:10:25.45\00:10:27.62
gold and myrrh, I
guess that was by the,
00:10:27.66\00:10:30.99
what they're called
were they, wise men.
00:10:31.03\00:10:33.80
So I wonder what
I would bring today.
00:10:33.86\00:10:40.47
I don't consider myself
to have great riches or,
00:10:40.50\00:10:45.27
you know,
anything of importance,
00:10:45.31\00:10:48.54
basically all I
have to offer is me.
00:10:48.58\00:10:51.25
And as it would turn out,
00:10:51.28\00:10:53.85
that's exactly what He wants.
00:10:53.88\00:10:55.28
Yes.
00:10:55.32\00:10:56.65
So each of us
have what Christ wants
00:10:56.72\00:11:01.79
for Christmas.
00:11:01.82\00:11:05.93
He wants you
00:11:05.96\00:11:07.76
and this is a
nice song talking about
00:11:07.76\00:11:13.17
our Christmas offering.
00:11:13.20\00:11:14.54
Over the skies of
Bethlehem appeared a star
00:11:23.08\00:11:29.92
While angels sang
to lowly shepherds
00:11:29.95\00:11:36.89
Three wise men seeking
truth they traveled from afar
00:11:36.93\00:11:43.50
Hoping to find
the Child from Heaven
00:11:43.53\00:11:49.44
And falling on their knees
00:11:49.47\00:11:52.71
They bow before the
humble prince of peace
00:11:52.74\00:12:00.45
I bring an offering
of worship to our King
00:12:00.52\00:12:07.26
No one on earth
deserves the praises that I sing
00:12:07.29\00:12:14.20
Jesus, may You receive
the honor that You're due
00:12:14.20\00:12:21.94
O Lord, I bring
an offering to You
00:12:21.97\00:12:26.88
The sun cannot compare
to the glory of Your love
00:12:33.25\00:12:40.12
There is no
shadow in Your presence
00:12:40.16\00:12:46.76
No mortal man would dare
to stand before Your throne
00:12:46.80\00:12:53.40
Before the Holy One of Heaven
00:12:53.47\00:12:59.47
It's only by Your blood
00:12:59.51\00:13:02.94
And only through Your mercy
00:13:02.98\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\00:13:17.53
No one on earth
deserves the praises that I sing
00:13:17.56\00:13:24.47
Jesus, may You receive
the honor that You're due
00:13:24.50\00:13:32.01
O Lord, I bring
an offering to You
00:13:32.04\00:13:36.61
O Lord, I bring
an offering to You
00:13:58.37\00:14:03.20
Lord, I offer my life to You
00:14:09.94\00:14:15.85
Everything I've been through
00:14:15.88\00:14:21.46
Use it for Your glory
00:14:21.49\00:14:25.36
Lord, I offer my days to You
00:14:25.39\00:14:31.07
Lifting my praise to You
00:14:31.10\00:14:36.67
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:14:36.71\00:14:44.01
Lord, I offer You my life
00:14:44.05\00:14:51.75
Lord, I offer my life to You
00:14:51.79\00:14:57.39
Everything I've been through
00:14:57.43\00:15:02.93
Use it for Your glory
00:15:02.96\00:15:06.74
Lord, I offer my days to You
00:15:06.77\00:15:12.21
Lifting my praise to You
00:15:12.24\00:15:18.01
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:15:18.05\00:15:25.39
Lord, I offer You my life
00:15:25.42\00:15:33.40
Lord, I offer You
00:15:33.43\00:15:38.27
My life
00:15:38.30\00:15:45.77
Amen. Amen.
00:15:55.65\00:15:57.95
What a worshipful
song. Yeah, for sure.
00:15:57.99\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\00:16:09.96
" I beseech you therefore,
00:16:10.00\00:16:11.33
brethren, by the mercies of God,
00:16:11.37\00:16:13.03
that you present your bodies."
00:16:13.07\00:16:15.20
We live in a world were people
would gladly write a check.
00:16:15.24\00:16:19.71
And they would
do their weekly hour
00:16:19.74\00:16:22.68
or may be two or
have a long in church.
00:16:22.71\00:16:25.81
But Jesus didn't
come to write a check.
00:16:25.85\00:16:29.35
He came to offer His life.
00:16:29.38\00:16:30.72
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\00:16:37.73
and so the message in this song
00:16:37.76\00:16:40.33
is not just that we
offer God what we have.
00:16:40.40\00:16:43.23
But as Tim said
early, we offer Him us.
00:16:43.26\00:16:46.00
And I've
discovered as I've grown,
00:16:46.03\00:16:48.30
you know, pastoring all
these years and marriage.
00:16:48.34\00:16:51.47
As I understand the theology
00:16:51.51\00:16:54.48
of what it means
to be a disciple,
00:16:54.51\00:16:56.51
it's not an easy
thing to offer yourself.
00:16:56.54\00:16:58.31
That's right.
00:16:58.35\00:16:59.68
It's not an easy thing to say,
00:16:59.71\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.
00:17:07.29\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\00:17:15.36
it is a really
good time as the years
00:17:15.40\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\00:17:19.63
by giving God at least on
par of the gift He gave to me.
00:17:19.67\00:17:23.10
He gave me His life and,
Lord, I offer you my life.
00:17:23.14\00:17:26.04
Thank you for
including that song on this.
00:17:26.07\00:17:27.58
Oh, absolutely, you
know, and this is the time also
00:17:27.61\00:17:30.75
right after that gift
giving season it be going to,
00:17:30.78\00:17:35.48
some people like to make
resolutions for the new year.
00:17:35.52\00:17:39.22
And so what a great opportunity
00:17:39.25\00:17:41.86
to renew that vow
to Christ to give.
00:17:41.89\00:17:45.46
One of the scriptures this year
00:17:45.49\00:17:47.30
that has struck me so much
is the scripture in Matthew,
00:17:47.30\00:17:50.43
where it talks about separating
the goats from the sheep.
00:17:50.47\00:17:53.34
Oh, yeah.
00:17:53.40\00:17:54.74
And the things that
seem so dear to Jesus.
00:17:54.77\00:18:00.74
The one who is separating
the sheep from the goats saying
00:18:00.81\00:18:04.21
you know, I was sick
00:18:04.28\00:18:06.95
and you came and visited
me in the hospital and prison.
00:18:06.98\00:18:10.55
I was poor and you fed
me, hungry and you fed me,
00:18:10.62\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
00:18:20.53\00:18:25.47
and so I really want to,
00:18:25.50\00:18:28.60
offering all that I
have, everything that I have.
00:18:28.64\00:18:31.17
Use it for Your glory, Lord.
00:18:31.21\00:18:32.54
Yeah. And so that's right.
00:18:32.57\00:18:34.41
I want to just add
one more thing to that.
00:18:34.44\00:18:35.84
My wife and I were in
Columbia a number of months ago
00:18:35.88\00:18:38.85
doing evangelism in
the Spanish country.
00:18:38.88\00:18:41.35
And one evening I was
taking out a little mini SD card
00:18:41.38\00:18:45.89
out of my camera and I...
00:18:45.92\00:18:48.19
For all of a sudden
that little thought hit me,
00:18:48.22\00:18:50.63
you can't even take
this to heaven with you.
00:18:50.66\00:18:53.33
It's smaller than my fingernail.
00:18:53.40\00:18:55.13
And I said, "Honey,
we can't even take that
00:18:55.16\00:18:59.13
micro SD card with us,
00:18:59.17\00:19:01.00
why are we sweating over
all this stuff down here?"
00:19:01.04\00:19:03.84
Let's just go and
give our Lord our best.
00:19:03.87\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\00:19:27.03
the focal point of
our lives, we fit Him in.
00:19:27.03\00:19:30.67
And one of my resolutions
is to make God first,
00:19:30.70\00:19:36.47
you really make time for
Him because that's the only way
00:19:36.50\00:19:39.17
that He can do the work in me
00:19:39.21\00:19:40.68
that needs to
be done to prepare.
00:19:40.71\00:19:42.91
We can't do
anything to be saved.
00:19:42.94\00:19:45.15
We have to just lay
ourselves at His feet, and say,
00:19:45.18\00:19:47.85
"Lord, fix me, fit
me for the Kingdom."
00:19:47.88\00:19:49.92
That's right.
00:19:49.95\00:19:51.29
And that's it, but if
we don't give Him time
00:19:51.32\00:19:53.19
and if we're doing
this, this and this and say,
00:19:53.22\00:19:55.12
"You know what, I don't
have time for worship right now.
00:19:55.16\00:19:58.83
I don't have time to."
00:19:58.86\00:20:00.70
Then what we're doing is
00:20:00.73\00:20:02.53
we're letting
everything else dominate.
00:20:02.56\00:20:05.17
But we must present ourselves,
00:20:05.20\00:20:07.64
Romans 12, one
that you were saying.
00:20:07.67\00:20:09.97
As living sacrifice is
holy acceptable unto God
00:20:10.01\00:20:13.34
which is our reasonable service.
00:20:13.38\00:20:15.78
So that's what God
would expect us to do,
00:20:15.81\00:20:18.31
and I think this is a
good time to really think about
00:20:18.35\00:20:21.65
where do you put
God, is He first,
00:20:21.68\00:20:24.65
or are you offering Him
yourself as a sacrifice,
00:20:24.69\00:20:27.66
or you're just, you know,
00:20:27.69\00:20:29.02
paying a little money here
and there and thinking that,
00:20:29.06\00:20:30.63
that's enough.
00:20:30.69\00:20:32.43
It's not enough, He wants you.
00:20:32.46\00:20:34.36
You know that song,
00:20:34.40\00:20:35.73
"All He wants is you.
Nothing less will do."
00:20:35.76\00:20:38.77
I mean that's
really what it's all about,
00:20:38.80\00:20:41.34
so God is calling
you to make a decision,
00:20:41.37\00:20:44.64
to make a choice for Him,
00:20:44.67\00:20:46.44
not just, you know,
not just throw Him crumbs,
00:20:46.47\00:20:49.34
He's the
creator of the universe.
00:20:49.38\00:20:52.45
And He wants a relationship
with you and with me.
00:20:52.48\00:20:56.82
You know, if you
think about it...
00:20:56.85\00:20:58.29
If the most, think of the most
00:20:58.32\00:21:01.39
famous person
that you can imagine.
00:21:01.42\00:21:04.93
And that person, he or she
00:21:04.96\00:21:07.96
will seek you out
for a relationship,
00:21:08.00\00:21:10.37
you would be like scrambling
00:21:10.43\00:21:12.87
to get to know that person.
00:21:12.90\00:21:15.30
And here we have the
God of the universe saying,
00:21:15.34\00:21:18.34
I want a relationship with you,
just spend some time with Me.
00:21:18.37\00:21:24.01
So I can fix you
and fix your brokenness
00:21:24.05\00:21:27.28
and we just say,
you know, not right now.
00:21:27.32\00:21:29.85
Right. Not right now.
00:21:29.88\00:21:31.82
Well, you know what,
Lord, I want to say have,
00:21:31.85\00:21:35.69
I want to give you the time now.
00:21:35.72\00:21:37.66
And I think we
all need to make that,
00:21:37.69\00:21:40.20
we all should be
making that resolution
00:21:40.26\00:21:41.76
and sometimes we might mess up.
00:21:41.80\00:21:44.23
But I think we have to decide
00:21:44.27\00:21:47.47
that we want to make God first.
00:21:47.50\00:21:48.97
That's right.
00:21:49.00\00:21:52.94
Yeah, I like this is...
00:21:52.97\00:21:55.48
This is where I'm
going to go with that.
00:21:55.51\00:21:57.08
Good.
00:21:57.11\00:21:58.45
All to Jesus I surrender
00:22:03.89\00:22:11.56
All to Thee I freely give
00:22:11.59\00:22:19.07
I will ever love and trust Him
00:22:19.10\00:22:26.74
In His presence daily live
00:22:26.78\00:22:33.58
That's were I want to
be, in His presence daily.
00:22:33.62\00:22:36.38
So I surrender all
00:22:36.42\00:22:42.96
I surrender all
00:22:45.09\00:22:52.97
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
00:22:53.00\00:23:01.01
I surrender all
00:23:01.04\00:23:07.02
All to Jesus
00:23:19.49\00:23:24.03
I surrender
00:23:24.07\00:23:28.14
All to Him I freely give
00:23:28.17\00:23:34.81
Worldly pleasures
00:23:34.84\00:23:39.55
All forsaken
00:23:39.58\00:23:43.28
Take me, Jesus, make me Thine
00:23:43.35\00:23:51.13
I surrender all
00:23:53.76\00:23:59.83
I surrender all
00:24:01.50\00:24:08.78
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
00:24:08.81\00:24:16.45
I surrender all
00:24:16.48\00:24:21.62
All to Thee, my blessed Savior.
00:24:21.66\00:24:24.33
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
00:24:24.36\00:24:32.20
I surrender all
00:24:34.94\00:24:42.91
I heard the
bells on Christmas day
00:24:55.56\00:25:00.36
Their old familiar carols play
00:25:00.43\00:25:04.50
In music sweet the tones repeat
00:25:04.53\00:25:08.64
There's peace on
earth, good will to men
00:25:08.67\00:25:13.81
I thought how
as the day had come
00:25:13.88\00:25:17.95
The bell freeze
of all pristine dump
00:25:17.98\00:25:21.98
Had hold a long
the unbroken song
00:25:22.02\00:25:26.15
Of peace on
earth, good will to men
00:25:26.19\00:25:32.66
And in despair I bowed my head
00:25:38.57\00:25:43.71
There is no
peace on earth I said
00:25:43.77\00:25:48.18
For hate is
strong and mocks the song
00:25:48.21\00:25:52.48
Of peace on earth
00:25:52.51\00:25:55.02
Good will to men
00:25:55.05\00:26:00.52
Then peel the
bells more loud and deep
00:26:00.59\00:26:05.06
God is not dead,
nor does he sleep
00:26:05.09\00:26:09.06
For Christ is here
00:26:09.10\00:26:11.20
His spirit there
00:26:11.23\00:26:13.34
Brings peace on
earth good will to men
00:26:13.37\00:26:20.88
Amen. Amen.
00:26:44.83\00:26:46.17
Amen.
00:26:46.20\00:26:48.64
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\00:27:15.03
You've been
promised, we've been waiting
00:27:15.06\00:27:20.64
Welcome Holy Child
00:27:20.67\00:27:24.74
Welcome Holy Child
00:27:25.74\00:27:30.48
Hope that You
don't mind our manger
00:27:33.62\00:27:38.45
How I wish we would have known
00:27:38.49\00:27:43.29
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
00:27:43.32\00:27:49.00
Make Yourself at home
00:27:49.03\00:27:53.70
Please make Yourself at home
00:27:53.74\00:27:59.87
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\00:28:21.90
Welcome to our world
00:28:21.93\00:28:26.47
Welcome to our world
00:28:27.07\00:28:32.31
Fragile finger sent to heal us
00:28:38.61\00:28:43.89
Tender brow prepared for thorn
00:28:43.92\00:28:49.19
Tiny heart whose
blood will save us
00:28:49.22\00:28:55.23
Unto us is born
00:28:55.26\00:28:59.40
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\00:29:34.77
Perfect Son of God
00:29:36.50\00:29:43.45
Welcome to our world
00:29:43.48\00:29:51.39
Precious. Amen.
00:30:03.10\00:30:04.77
Very nice, good
job. Yes, yes, for sure.
00:30:04.80\00:30:07.00
Praise the Lord.
00:30:07.04\00:30:08.37
What's in the name,
00:30:08.40\00:30:09.84
I've two sons and I know when...
00:30:09.87\00:30:14.44
When we were trying
to come up with names,
00:30:14.48\00:30:18.61
you know, how do
you choose a name?
00:30:18.65\00:30:20.68
It's sometimes, you
can choose a family name,
00:30:20.72\00:30:22.68
you know, if it's
somebody in the a father,
00:30:22.72\00:30:25.12
a grandfather, a
great grandfather,
00:30:25.15\00:30:27.16
sometimes you use
the mother's maiden name
00:30:27.22\00:30:30.09
as the first name
if it's appropriate
00:30:30.13\00:30:31.69
but to one of the...
00:30:31.73\00:30:34.50
Probably a very difficult
and stressful things about
00:30:34.56\00:30:38.13
having a child is
choosing the name.
00:30:38.17\00:30:41.30
And Elijah and Grae,
00:30:41.34\00:30:45.24
I know we thought
our oldest was a girl,
00:30:45.27\00:30:49.91
so we thought Grace
would be good for a name
00:30:49.98\00:30:53.88
and found out it was a
boy and we just took the C out
00:30:53.95\00:30:57.65
and spelled it G-R-A-E, Grae.
00:30:57.69\00:31:00.46
And so, and he
is a beautiful guy,
00:31:00.49\00:31:03.02
he's not, he's not
gray in his color...
00:31:03.06\00:31:06.19
Or gray hair. Or gray hair.
00:31:06.23\00:31:08.30
He's got a lot of grey
matter though, how's that.
00:31:08.33\00:31:10.37
A lot of grey
matter, right, he does.
00:31:10.43\00:31:12.20
And so I can imagine how helpful
00:31:12.23\00:31:16.81
it would have
been for the angel,
00:31:16.87\00:31:19.44
when the angel said,
"You shall call his name."
00:31:19.47\00:31:22.71
Yeah.
00:31:22.74\00:31:24.11
Jesus. Yes.
00:31:24.15\00:31:25.55
For He will be the
savior of the world
00:31:25.58\00:31:27.85
and so I just, I like
that, any thoughts on names?
00:31:27.88\00:31:32.15
Oh, you have two sons. Yes.
00:31:32.19\00:31:33.96
I mean, how did
you pick their names?
00:31:34.02\00:31:35.86
You know, just kind
of going back and forth
00:31:35.89\00:31:38.83
and trying to figure
out which names work,
00:31:38.86\00:31:40.90
like I didn't want anything
that was too off the wall,
00:31:40.93\00:31:44.40
just regular names. Right.
00:31:44.43\00:31:46.47
You know, nothing
that's too different.
00:31:46.50\00:31:47.97
Nothing that they would
hate you for when they grew up.
00:31:48.00\00:31:49.94
Exactly, nothing
that would get them
00:31:49.97\00:31:51.54
tossed out of a
job interview at,
00:31:51.57\00:31:53.34
you know, some
point later in life.
00:31:53.41\00:31:55.18
And so I just thought,
okay, what about this name,
00:31:55.21\00:31:59.35
what about that name,
00:31:59.38\00:32:00.82
and talked it
over with their dads,
00:32:00.85\00:32:02.42
and they kind of, you know,
00:32:02.45\00:32:04.39
it just kind of fell into place.
00:32:04.42\00:32:06.76
And they kind of
match their name to me,
00:32:06.79\00:32:08.86
Mark and Jason.
Funny how that works.
00:32:08.89\00:32:10.23
They do, they
kind of matching me.
00:32:10.26\00:32:11.69
You can't imagine
them anything else.
00:32:11.73\00:32:13.26
I know, exactly,
exactly but, you know,
00:32:13.29\00:32:18.43
a name I've been
kind of studying up
00:32:18.47\00:32:20.94
on the whole idea of names
00:32:20.97\00:32:23.67
and how the name is
often tied into character.
00:32:23.71\00:32:29.38
Yeah.
00:32:29.41\00:32:30.75
And so we think about
Jesus of course, His name.
00:32:30.81\00:32:33.88
I shall call His name Jesus
for He shall save His people
00:32:33.92\00:32:36.12
from their sins.
00:32:36.15\00:32:37.49
So we know
that, that name Jesus,
00:32:37.55\00:32:41.72
Yeshua is a special name.
00:32:41.76\00:32:45.09
That's right. Nice.
00:32:45.13\00:32:47.30
And think about
His name, I mean,
00:32:47.36\00:32:50.60
all the demons of darkness,
when they hear the name Jesus,
00:32:50.63\00:32:54.37
they've got to
flee, at the name of Jesus
00:32:54.40\00:32:56.97
we are told that in the future,
there is going to be a time
00:32:57.04\00:33:01.78
where everyone
who has ever lived
00:33:01.81\00:33:03.85
will be alive.
00:33:03.88\00:33:06.92
And at the name of
Jesus, every knee will bow,
00:33:06.95\00:33:11.49
every tongue will confess
00:33:11.52\00:33:13.89
that Jesus is Lord to
the glory of the Father.
00:33:13.96\00:33:16.39
Who could have
such a powerful name?
00:33:16.42\00:33:18.36
I remember growing up
when my sister would say,
00:33:18.39\00:33:21.46
"Papa's home."
00:33:21.50\00:33:23.00
Well, whatever I was doing,
00:33:23.03\00:33:24.37
it's like if it's
not authorized by papa,
00:33:24.40\00:33:26.27
it's time to cut it out.
00:33:26.30\00:33:27.94
Well, you know,
we live in a world
00:33:27.97\00:33:29.30
where people are doing things
that are not authorized by God.
00:33:29.34\00:33:31.87
But, you know,
you're living at an hour
00:33:31.91\00:33:34.28
where you could
still make a decision,
00:33:34.31\00:33:35.71
that when His name is called,
you don't have to run in fear.
00:33:35.74\00:33:39.28
That's right.
00:33:39.31\00:33:40.68
He is the lamb, He is the lamb,
00:33:40.72\00:33:43.95
He is not angry at
us, He's come to save us,
00:33:43.99\00:33:47.62
and that's what this
whole season is about.
00:33:47.66\00:33:49.99
That's right.
00:33:50.03\00:33:51.36
We just want to
kind of remind people
00:33:51.39\00:33:52.73
that the season
while it's just a...
00:33:52.76\00:33:54.56
To me, I love
celebrating Christmas.
00:33:54.56\00:33:57.10
I mean, I really
do, I like the trees,
00:33:57.13\00:33:59.63
I know people have
issues on trees, and lights,
00:33:59.67\00:34:01.90
and the tinsel
and all that stuff.
00:34:01.94\00:34:04.14
It's a celebratory
holiday. Absolutely.
00:34:04.21\00:34:07.58
It's good to end a terrible year
00:34:07.61\00:34:09.18
with something
to be happy about.
00:34:09.21\00:34:10.55
That's right. Yes, that's right.
00:34:10.58\00:34:11.91
You know, just
roll me in the snow,
00:34:11.95\00:34:13.28
just let me freeze
and smile for a chance.
00:34:13.31\00:34:16.55
You're taking it a
little far for me now.
00:34:16.58\00:34:18.35
You don't like
always. No snow. No snow.
00:34:18.39\00:34:20.19
Well, I mean, when I lived
in California by Placerville,
00:34:20.26\00:34:24.79
when I was in Heritage
Singers, we would, you know,
00:34:24.83\00:34:26.59
get all the best
snowsuits we can,
00:34:26.63\00:34:28.23
at least the best
snowsuits whatever Lucy Mayes,
00:34:28.26\00:34:31.27
Mac Smith's wife
had that we could fit
00:34:31.30\00:34:33.90
and we get garbage
can covers or slays,
00:34:33.94\00:34:36.34
and we roll down the hill
00:34:36.37\00:34:37.71
and the snow
would just gently knock
00:34:37.74\00:34:39.51
at the front of the
ski, and just cover us,
00:34:39.54\00:34:42.68
and our faces
would be pulverized
00:34:42.71\00:34:44.35
for a frozen
moment, and we go back home,
00:34:44.38\00:34:46.98
and sit down and talk,
and let ourselves thought out,
00:34:47.02\00:34:50.85
and say, "Thank
you, Lord, for taking us
00:34:50.89\00:34:52.22
to the end of the year."
00:34:52.25\00:34:53.59
So as we think about the season,
00:34:53.62\00:34:54.96
narrow it down, not to the gift
of just His life but the name.
00:34:54.99\00:34:59.06
Call on Him,
while He can be found
00:34:59.09\00:35:01.73
and you'll know that this season
00:35:01.76\00:35:03.30
will take on a
completely different meaning.
00:35:03.37\00:35:05.23
Yes. Nice.
00:35:05.27\00:35:09.17
Master, Redeemer
00:35:09.20\00:35:13.78
Savior of the world.
00:35:13.81\00:35:18.75
Wonderful, Counselor
00:35:18.78\00:35:23.49
Bright Morning Star
00:35:23.52\00:35:28.96
Lily of the valley
00:35:28.99\00:35:33.16
Provider, and Friend
00:35:33.19\00:35:37.13
He was yesterday
00:35:37.17\00:35:40.20
He'll be tomorrow
00:35:40.24\00:35:43.20
Beginning and the end
00:35:43.24\00:35:49.28
But the angel called Him
00:35:49.31\00:35:54.28
Jesus, born of a virgin
00:35:54.32\00:36:01.99
Mary called Him Jesus
00:36:05.86\00:36:12.67
But I call Him Lord
00:36:12.70\00:36:18.31
Jehovah, Messiah
00:36:24.15\00:36:28.18
Mighty God and King
00:36:28.22\00:36:32.32
Bread of Life,
lasting words of love
00:36:32.35\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\00:36:43.43
Door to heaven,
my home in the sky
00:36:43.47\00:36:49.54
He's the
Fountain of Living Water
00:36:49.57\00:36:54.84
That never shall run dry
00:36:54.88\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
00:37:15.96\00:37:22.87
But I call Him Lord
00:37:22.90\00:37:30.45
And I'll never regret
making that decision, right?
00:37:31.78\00:37:38.35
Yes, I call Him Lord
00:37:38.39\00:37:46.29
He's my Lord. Amen.
00:37:48.50\00:37:50.93
You know as you
were singing that song,
00:37:50.97\00:37:52.33
I was singing along
with you in my head.
00:37:52.37\00:37:54.44
Okay.
00:37:54.47\00:37:55.90
Mary called Him
Jesus, but I call Him Lord.
00:37:55.94\00:38:00.11
And I was thinking, we
had been talking about names,
00:38:00.14\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\00:38:23.26
We always say Jesus is
the reason for the season,
00:38:23.30\00:38:27.17
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\00:38:31.54
here in Southern
Illinois, when we go to Walmart,
00:38:31.57\00:38:33.61
we feel like we
are at North Shrimps
00:38:33.68\00:38:36.61
'cause that's about as
close as we're going to get
00:38:36.64\00:38:38.08
to North Shrimp
for an airplane ride.
00:38:38.11\00:38:41.25
But we could walk
into Walmart, and Kmart,
00:38:41.28\00:38:44.49
and Sam's Club and all of our...
00:38:44.52\00:38:46.12
Even a little mall
down in Carbondale,
00:38:46.15\00:38:48.06
and hear songs about
somebody saying the name Jesus.
00:38:48.09\00:38:52.83
But I want to dare you
to take the name of Jesus
00:38:52.86\00:38:55.73
beyond December 25th
00:38:55.76\00:38:57.63
'cause we are so holiday geared
00:38:57.67\00:39:00.07
that we forget
to be Jesus geared.
00:39:00.10\00:39:02.10
Thank you for sharing that song.
00:39:02.14\00:39:03.47
Thanking the Lord. Amen.
00:39:03.54\00:39:04.87
Make Him your Lord.
That's good. That's good.
00:39:04.91\00:39:06.24
Here is another classic song
that I learned as a kid called
00:39:06.27\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.
00:39:10.58\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
00:39:24.36\00:39:28.63
Giving the life for
those who long have gone
00:39:28.66\00:39:36.57
Guiding the
wise men on their way
00:39:36.60\00:39:40.98
Unto the place where Jesus lay
00:39:41.01\00:39:45.05
Beautiful star of
Bethlehem shine on
00:39:45.08\00:39:53.02
Oh, beautiful star of Bethlehem
00:39:53.05\00:40:00.80
Shine upon us
until the glory dawn
00:40:01.96\00:40:09.37
Give us Thy
light to light the way
00:40:10.47\00:40:14.84
Unto the land of perfect day
00:40:14.88\00:40:19.15
Beautiful star of Bethlehem
00:40:19.18\00:40:23.39
Shine on, shine on
00:40:23.45\00:40:29.46
Oh, beautiful
star the hope of light
00:40:35.53\00:40:40.27
Guiding the
pilgrims through the night
00:40:40.30\00:40:44.37
Over the mountains
'till the break of dawn
00:40:44.41\00:40:52.31
Into the land of perfect day
00:40:52.35\00:40:56.92
It will give out a lovely ray
00:40:56.95\00:41:00.86
Oh, beautiful star
00:41:00.89\00:41:03.09
Of Bethlehem shine on
00:41:03.12\00:41:09.26
Oh, beautiful star
00:41:09.30\00:41:13.60
Of Bethlehem
00:41:13.64\00:41:18.11
Shine upon us
until the glory dawn
00:41:18.14\00:41:26.08
Oh, give us Thy
light to light the way
00:41:26.11\00:41:31.22
Unto the land of perfect day
00:41:31.25\00:41:35.49
Beautiful star
00:41:35.52\00:41:37.33
Of Bethlehem shine on
00:41:37.39\00:41:43.83
Oh, beautiful star
00:41:43.90\00:41:48.10
Of Bethlehem
00:41:48.14\00:41:52.57
Shine upon us
00:41:52.61\00:41:54.48
Until the glory dawn
00:41:54.51\00:42:01.22
Give us Thy
light to light the way
00:42:01.25\00:42:05.49
Unto the land of perfect day
00:42:05.52\00:42:09.72
Beautiful star of Bethlehem
00:42:09.76\00:42:14.00
Shine on
00:42:14.10\00:42:16.40
Shine on
00:42:16.43\00:42:23.97
We know you knew
that when you were little,
00:42:24.01\00:42:26.01
we might not know it.
00:42:26.04\00:42:27.68
That's all right.
That's a good time.
00:42:27.71\00:42:29.28
Grace is sufficient for me.
00:42:29.31\00:42:30.75
That's right. That's right.
00:42:30.81\00:42:32.15
And that's what,
00:42:32.18\00:42:33.52
you know, sometimes
you just have to have fun.
00:42:33.55\00:42:34.88
That's right.
00:42:34.92\00:42:36.25
And I think that our
audience would appreciate
00:42:36.28\00:42:37.82
that we could have fun too,
00:42:37.85\00:42:39.19
we don't have to be
perfect all the time.
00:42:39.22\00:42:40.56
That's right.
That's a good thing.
00:42:40.62\00:42:41.96
As you can tell, you
don't have to be perfect.
00:42:41.99\00:42:43.32
Right, it is a good thing.
00:42:43.36\00:42:44.69
Our perfection doesn't take away
00:42:44.73\00:42:46.43
from the perfection of
the beautiful star of Jesus.
00:42:46.46\00:42:49.00
That's exactly
right. Or our imperfection.
00:42:49.03\00:42:51.43
Yeah, that's
what I meant, right.
00:42:51.47\00:42:53.70
Here is a beautiful song,
00:42:53.77\00:42:56.84
and if our friends
at home know this song,
00:42:56.87\00:43:00.88
this is a great lyric,
00:43:00.91\00:43:03.35
I'm just going to play this one.
00:43:03.38\00:43:05.61
Thou didst leave thy throne.
00:43:05.65\00:43:07.35
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."
00:46:06.73\00:46:08.33
Right?
00:46:08.36\00:46:11.23
Again, talking about
making room for Christ,
00:46:11.27\00:46:14.44
so it's a good song,
it's a pretty, pretty song.
00:46:14.47\00:46:16.64
It's beautiful.
00:46:16.71\00:46:18.74
Would you like to
sing little Silent Night?
00:46:18.77\00:46:20.28
Sure.
00:46:20.31\00:46:21.64
I think that would
be very appropriate.
00:46:21.68\00:46:23.01
Sure.
00:46:23.04\00:46:24.38
Silent night
00:46:39.56\00:46:44.47
Holy night
00:46:44.50\00:46:49.14
All is calm
00:46:49.17\00:46:54.44
And all is bright
00:46:54.48\00:46:59.78
Round yon Virgin
00:46:59.81\00:47:04.72
Mother and Child
00:47:04.75\00:47:08.96
Holy infant

Silent night

Holy night
00:47:51.80\00:47:55.80
Shepherds quake

Glories stream from heaven afar

Is born
00:48:34.78\00:48:39.51
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

00:49:00.27\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\00:49:26.73
From Thy holy face
00:49:26.76\00:49:31.40
With dawn
00:49:31.43\00:49:34.97
Of redeeming grace
00:49:35.00\00:49:40.61
Jesus Lord
00:49:40.68\00:49:45.21
At Thy
00:49:45.25\00:49:46.65
Birth
00:49:46.72\00:49:53.56
Jesus Lord
00:49:53.59\00:49:59.26
At Thy
00:49:59.29\00:50:02.80
Birth
00:50:02.83\00:50:09.84
Amen. Amen.
00:50:23.95\00:50:25.29
Amen.
00:50:25.32\00:50:27.52
You know we
think about that song,
00:50:27.56\00:50:30.96
there was a negro
spiritual written a while ago,
00:50:30.99\00:50:33.70
and I looked into
the history behind it
00:50:33.76\00:50:35.06
and it was a
time when in America,
00:50:35.10\00:50:37.77
a dark history of America
00:50:37.80\00:50:39.33
when slaves and the
tasking of the nation
00:50:39.37\00:50:44.34
was on the shoulders of people
00:50:44.37\00:50:46.47
who had been
against their will brought
00:50:46.51\00:50:48.34
to the country
00:50:48.38\00:50:49.71
but they thought
about the season,
00:50:49.74\00:50:51.78
it still didn't leave them.
00:50:51.81\00:50:54.28
And they instead of
rejoicing as everyone would,
00:50:54.32\00:50:58.05
they thought about
00:50:58.09\00:51:00.19
the hardship of
the road of Jesus
00:51:00.26\00:51:02.86
and this song
Sweet Little Jesus Boy
00:51:02.89\00:51:05.43
was written through
the tears of a people
00:51:05.46\00:51:08.66
and at a time
00:51:08.70\00:51:10.23
that joy wasn't the
best thing in the atmosphere,
00:51:10.27\00:51:13.00
but its message has
continued to resonate
00:51:13.03\00:51:16.71
and, you know, as
we go through the...
00:51:16.77\00:51:19.04
We have negro spirituals,
00:51:19.07\00:51:21.38
then somebody
changes the grammar
00:51:21.41\00:51:23.91
because your dad
was an English teacher.
00:51:23.95\00:51:25.51
Right.
00:51:25.55\00:51:26.88
And we talked
about this and said,
00:51:26.92\00:51:28.55
how do you say
words that are broken
00:51:28.58\00:51:31.42
and fanatically incorrect,
00:51:31.45\00:51:33.52
but that was the
whole message of the song,
00:51:33.56\00:51:36.19
and so enjoy
this negro spiritual
00:51:36.22\00:51:38.66
that takes us to the season
00:51:38.69\00:51:40.30
and the people that
communicated this message.
00:51:40.36\00:51:42.63
Sweet little Jesus boy
00:51:49.70\00:51:55.24
They made you
be born in a manger
00:51:55.28\00:52:02.32
Sweet little holy child
00:52:02.35\00:52:09.36
We didn't know
00:52:09.39\00:52:10.99
who you were
00:52:11.03\00:52:17.27
Didn't know you'd
come to save us, Lord
00:52:17.33\00:52:22.77
To take our sins away
00:52:22.80\00:52:28.91
Our eyes were blind
00:52:28.94\00:52:33.88
We couldn't see
00:52:33.92\00:52:40.02
We didn't know
00:52:40.06\00:52:42.29
Who you were
00:52:42.32\00:52:47.03
Long time ago
00:52:51.00\00:52:56.77
You was born
00:52:56.84\00:53:02.91
Born in a manger, Lord
00:53:02.94\00:53:09.85
Sweet little Jesus
00:53:09.88\00:53:13.96
Boy
00:53:13.99\00:53:18.09
You have told us how
00:53:18.13\00:53:25.83
We are trying
00:53:25.87\00:53:32.44
Master, You have shown us
00:53:32.47\00:53:38.75
How
00:53:38.78\00:53:43.59
Even when
00:53:43.65\00:53:47.52
You were dying
00:53:47.56\00:53:53.46
Just seems like
00:54:06.68\00:54:09.54
We can't do right
00:54:09.58\00:54:12.68
Look how we treated you
00:54:12.71\00:54:18.45
But please Sir
00:54:18.49\00:54:23.63
Forgive us, Lord
00:54:23.66\00:54:30.43
We didn't know
00:54:30.47\00:54:33.10
It was you
00:54:33.13\00:54:41.11
Sweet little Jesus boy
00:54:41.14\00:54:47.28
Born a long time ago
00:54:47.32\00:54:52.75
Sweet little holy child
00:54:52.79\00:54:59.06
And we didn't know
00:54:59.09\00:55:02.06
Who you
00:55:02.10\00:55:06.43
Were
00:55:06.47\00:55:13.38
Amen. Amen.
00:55:20.02\00:55:21.35
Wow, thank you.
00:55:21.38\00:55:22.72
Thank you for adding that
note that I could not add.
00:55:22.75\00:55:25.42
Well, thanks for
inviting me to sing with you.
00:55:25.45\00:55:28.09
You know, this is a
joyful time of the year,
00:55:28.12\00:55:29.56
those of you who are...
00:55:29.59\00:55:30.93
Thank you for taking the time
00:55:30.96\00:55:32.29
to spend with Tim,
and Yvonne, and me,
00:55:32.33\00:55:35.13
and with your 3ABN family.
00:55:35.16\00:55:37.13
And as we kind of
close out this program,
00:55:37.17\00:55:40.40
it's been a wonderful time.
00:55:40.44\00:55:42.07
It's a time of the year
00:55:42.10\00:55:43.47
where we pull out our old lyrics
00:55:43.51\00:55:44.84
and try to remember
00:55:44.87\00:55:46.21
what we did not
sing all year long.
00:55:46.24\00:55:48.74
And you have prayed
with us all year long,
00:55:48.78\00:55:50.81
you have supported this network
00:55:50.85\00:55:52.18
and we thank you so much for it,
00:55:52.21\00:55:53.55
but we got to go out
00:55:53.58\00:55:54.92
with some of the
traditional songs,
00:55:54.95\00:55:56.28
Joy to the World
and whatever else
00:55:56.32\00:55:57.65
the Lord sends
to your fingertips.
00:55:57.69\00:55:59.42
We'll sing along with you
and you sing along with us.
00:55:59.45\00:56:01.76
Thank you so much,
and may God bless you.
00:56:01.79\00:56:03.96
Joy to the world
00:56:07.50\00:56:09.93
The Lord has come
00:56:09.96\00:56:12.30
Let earth receive her King
00:56:12.33\00:56:17.41
Let every heart prepare Him room
00:56:17.44\00:56:22.41
And heaven and nature sing
00:56:22.44\00:56:24.85
And heaven and nature sing
00:56:24.88\00:56:27.42
And heaven and
heaven and nature sing
00:56:27.45\00:56:33.12
He rules the world
with truth and grace
00:56:37.46\00:56:42.40
And makes the nations prove
00:56:42.43\00:56:47.40
The glories of His righteousness
00:56:47.44\00:56:52.47
And wonders of His love
00:56:52.51\00:56:54.88
And wonders of His love
00:56:54.91\00:56:57.41
And wonders wonders of His love
00:56:57.45\00:57:03.65
Merry Christmas.
00:57:34.68\00:57:36.02
Merry Christmas.
00:57:36.05\00:57:37.82
