Gloria,
00:00:01.36\00:00:06.97
in excelsis Deo.
00:00:07.17\00:00:13.84
Jesus is my very best Friend,
00:00:31.83\00:00:35.30
oh, Jesus is my
very best Friend.
00:00:35.33\00:00:39.17
One joyful day He came to earth
so the world that He could save.
00:00:39.20\00:00:47.11
He's alive and He
cares for us today.
00:00:47.14\00:00:51.15
Yes, Jesus is my
very best Friend.
00:00:51.18\00:00:55.08
Jesus is my very best Friend,
00:00:55.58\00:00:59.02
oh, Jesus is my
very best Friend.
00:00:59.05\00:01:02.89
One joyful day He came to earth
so the world that He could save.
00:01:02.92\00:01:10.80
He's alive and He
cares for us today.
00:01:10.83\00:01:14.70
Yes, Jesus is my
very best Friend.
00:01:14.74\00:01:18.87
Jesus, Jesus is our Friend.
00:01:19.21\00:01:22.71
On Christmas day
we celebrate Him.
00:01:22.74\00:01:26.55
We worship Him
with songs of praise,
00:01:26.58\00:01:30.59
and give gifts to
others in His name.
00:01:30.62\00:01:34.52
He's our Savior and our King.
00:01:34.56\00:01:38.39
Yes, Jesus is
our very best Friend.
00:01:38.43\00:01:42.53
Jesus came to earth one day,
00:02:00.72\00:02:04.19
born and died
in His perfect way.
00:02:04.22\00:02:08.12
Showing us just
how to live our lives,
00:02:08.16\00:02:12.13
pointing others
to our loving Christ.
00:02:12.16\00:02:15.93
Sharing love and
doing what is right.
00:02:15.96\00:02:20.00
Yes, Jesus is
our very best Friend.
00:02:20.04\00:02:23.97
Jesus, Jesus is our Friend.
00:02:24.41\00:02:27.91
On Christmas day
we celebrate Him.
00:02:27.94\00:02:31.71
We worship Him
with songs of praise,
00:02:31.75\00:02:35.78
and give gifts to
others in His name.
00:02:35.82\00:02:39.69
He's our Savior and our King.
00:02:39.72\00:02:43.59
Yes, Jesus is
our very best Friend.
00:02:43.63\00:02:47.23
Yes, Jesus is
our very best Friend.
00:02:47.63\00:02:51.20
Yes, Jesus is
our very best Friend.
00:02:51.67\00:03:00.24
Jesus wants to be
your very best Friend.
00:03:11.62\00:03:14.06
He left the holy and
beautiful courts of heaven
00:03:14.09\00:03:16.89
and came down to save
this dark world of sin.
00:03:16.93\00:03:20.33
But He would have
still, come just for you.
00:03:20.36\00:03:23.26
Just think, the King of
the universe stepped down from
00:03:24.00\00:03:26.87
His throne to become a
lowly and humble peasant.
00:03:26.90\00:03:30.27
He wanted to be a
friend to everyone,
00:03:30.47\00:03:32.51
even the shepherds
working in the fields.
00:03:32.54\00:03:34.61
What a holy night that
was when Jesus came to earth.
00:03:34.64\00:03:38.51
Let's listen to the
K-Voices sing O Holy Night.
00:03:38.55\00:03:41.45
And imagine the
angels announcing the birth
00:03:41.48\00:03:43.92
of our Savior Friend, Jesus.
00:03:43.95\00:03:46.15
O holy night, the
stars are brightly shining.
00:04:01.44\00:04:10.85
It is the night of
our dear Savior's birth.
00:04:10.88\00:04:20.06
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining,
00:04:20.66\00:04:29.60
till He appeared and
the soul felt its worth.
00:04:29.63\00:04:38.27
A thrill of hope,
the weary soul rejoices,
00:04:39.04\00:04:47.22
for yonder breaks a
new and glorious morn.
00:04:47.25\00:04:55.49
Fall on your knees.
00:04:55.52\00:05:03.63
O hear the angel voices.
00:05:03.67\00:05:11.47
O night divine.
00:05:11.67\00:05:19.11
O night when Christ was born.
00:05:19.15\00:05:27.42
O night divine.
00:05:27.46\00:05:34.73
O night, O night divine.
00:05:34.76\00:05:43.04
Truly He taught us
To love one another.
00:05:47.74\00:05:56.69
His law is love and
His gospel is peace.
00:05:56.72\00:06:04.39
Chains shall He break,
for the slave is our brother,
00:06:05.86\00:06:14.57
and in His name all
oppression shall cease.
00:06:14.60\00:06:22.41
Sweet hymns of joy in
grateful chorus raise we,
00:06:23.21\00:06:31.39
let all within us
praise His holy name.
00:06:31.42\00:06:41.30
Fall on your knees.
00:06:41.80\00:06:49.20
O hear the angel voices.
00:06:49.24\00:06:56.98
O night divine.
00:06:57.01\00:07:04.22
O night when Christ was born.
00:07:04.25\00:07:12.36
O night divine.
00:07:12.56\00:07:20.00
O night, O night divine.
00:07:20.10\00:07:28.84
O night divine.
00:07:29.24\00:07:39.15
Thank you, Sofiya.
00:08:51.59\00:08:52.93
The words to the
third chorus to that song
00:08:52.96\00:08:54.86
remind us that God is
always giving and forgiving.
00:08:54.90\00:08:58.13
He's our Father and
Christ is our Brother,
00:08:58.37\00:09:01.20
teaching us how
to love each other.
00:09:01.24\00:09:03.51
Yes, He is indeed
our very best Friend.
00:09:03.54\00:09:06.34
Hopefully, if we were
there when Christ was born,
00:09:06.54\00:09:09.38
we too would
celebrate the gift of God's Son.
00:09:09.41\00:09:12.61
Let's listen to Sam
sing, If I Were There.
00:09:12.65\00:09:15.78
If I were there
on that silent night,
00:09:30.23\00:09:36.20
would I hear angels
sing praises in the sky?
00:09:36.57\00:09:42.68
If I were there,
would I go with haste
00:09:43.14\00:09:48.68
with humble shepherds
to seek His holy place?
00:09:49.35\00:09:55.72
If I were there,
I'd find the manger
00:09:55.76\00:10:01.86
and bow before the tiny Savior.
00:10:02.20\00:10:08.67
I'd sense the peace
that filled the air,
00:10:08.70\00:10:14.48
if I were
there, if I were there.
00:10:15.01\00:10:22.62
If I were there,
would I see the star
00:10:24.75\00:10:30.39
with humble wisemen
who journeyed from afar?
00:10:30.83\00:10:36.87
If I were there,
would I gladly bring
00:10:37.60\00:10:43.71
my finest treasure
to lay before the King?
00:10:43.91\00:10:50.21
If I were there,
I'd find the manger
00:10:50.25\00:10:56.08
and bow before the tiny Savior.
00:10:56.82\00:11:02.82
I'd sense the peace
that filled the air,
00:11:03.02\00:11:09.23
if I were
there, if I were there.
00:11:09.46\00:11:17.04
I was not there,
but inside I know
00:11:25.41\00:11:31.75
that precious Baby
who came so long ago
00:11:31.79\00:11:37.99
was Jesus Christ,
Lord of heaven and earth.
00:11:38.03\00:11:44.30
I sing His praises as
I celebrate His birth.
00:11:44.60\00:11:50.74
If I were there,
I'd find the manger
00:11:51.04\00:11:57.05
and bow before the tiny Savior.
00:11:57.08\00:12:03.79
I'd sense the peace
that filled the air,
00:12:03.82\00:12:10.23
if I were
there, if I were there.
00:12:10.26\00:12:18.20
If I were there.
00:12:23.54\00:12:31.41
The wisemen were
watching and praying
00:12:47.23\00:12:53.64
for heavenly signs of His birth.
00:12:53.67\00:13:00.14
They followed the starlight
00:13:00.18\00:13:03.75
through long
days and dark nights
00:13:03.78\00:13:06.98
to worship the
Lord of the earth.
00:13:07.02\00:13:12.89
If miles lay between
us, then I'd walk to Jesus;
00:13:13.09\00:13:19.76
o'er mountain and
desert I'd follow that star.
00:13:19.79\00:13:26.30
But He doesn't ask
us to journey so far.
00:13:26.33\00:13:32.77
For He will be
with us wherever we are
00:13:32.81\00:13:40.38
when we seek Him.
00:13:40.42\00:13:44.79
Like wisemen, I'm
seeking the Savior
00:13:46.76\00:13:53.23
by learning and living His ways.
00:13:53.26\00:13:59.67
His light shines inside
me, like starlight it guides me
00:13:59.70\00:14:06.44
closer to Him every day.
00:14:06.47\00:14:12.55
If miles lay between
us, then I'd walk to Jesus;
00:14:12.58\00:14:19.35
o'er mountain and
desert I'd follow that star.
00:14:19.39\00:14:25.79
But He doesn't ask
us to journey so far.
00:14:25.83\00:14:32.17
For He will be
with us wherever we are
00:14:32.20\00:14:39.74
when we seek Him.
00:14:39.77\00:14:43.48
I don't have gold
to lay down before Him,
00:14:43.51\00:14:49.88
but I'll give my
heart to show I adore Him.
00:14:49.92\00:14:57.39
If miles lay between
us, then I'd walk to Jesus;
00:14:59.23\00:15:06.13
o'er mountain and
desert I'd follow that star.
00:15:06.17\00:15:12.54
But He doesn't ask
us to journey so far.
00:15:12.57\00:15:20.28
For He will be
with us wherever we are
00:15:20.32\00:15:28.26
when we seek Him.
00:15:28.29\00:15:32.36
When we seek Him.
00:15:34.93\00:15:40.14
Will you earnestly seek
Jesus and give Him your heart?
00:15:46.54\00:15:49.81
He has devoted Himself to you,
00:15:50.18\00:15:52.15
and will be faithful in
taking care of all your needs.
00:15:52.18\00:15:55.32
That word, faithful,
means that Jesus is loyal
00:15:55.35\00:15:58.32
and will never leave you.
00:15:58.35\00:15:59.82
You can trust Him.
Will you be faithful to Him?
00:16:00.12\00:16:03.06
Our next song
shares the invitation,
00:16:03.36\00:16:05.79
O Come All ye Faithful.
00:16:05.83\00:16:07.50
Come let us adore
Him, Christ the Lord.
00:16:07.53\00:16:10.50
O come all ye
faithful, joyful and triumphant.
00:16:14.90\00:16:22.98
O come ye, O
come ye to Bethlehem.
00:16:23.01\00:16:31.22
Come and behold Him,
born the King of angels.
00:16:31.42\00:16:38.99
O come let us adore
Him, O come let us adore Him,
00:16:39.03\00:16:46.77
O come let us adore
Him, Christ the Lord.
00:16:47.17\00:16:54.81
Sing, choirs of
angels, sing in exultation.
00:16:55.18\00:17:03.12
Sing, all ye
citizens, of heaven above.
00:17:03.32\00:17:10.76
Glory to God,
glory in the highest.
00:17:11.19\00:17:18.90
O come let us adore
Him, O come let us adore Him,
00:17:18.93\00:17:26.88
O come let us adore
Him, Christ the Lord.
00:17:27.28\00:17:35.05
Yea, Lord, we greet
Thee, born this happy morning.
00:17:43.12\00:17:51.10
Jesus, to Thee
be all glory given.
00:17:51.30\00:17:59.04
Son of the Father,
now in flesh appearing.
00:17:59.34\00:18:06.98
O come let us adore
Him, O come let us adore Him,
00:18:07.02\00:18:14.79
O come let us adore
Him, Christ the Lord.
00:18:15.19\00:18:22.50
O come let us adore
Him, Christ the Lord.
00:18:22.90\00:18:30.54
O come let us adore Him,
00:18:31.14\00:18:38.05
Christ the Lord.
00:18:38.51\00:18:48.42
Aren't you glad that
God is always faithful?
00:18:51.03\00:18:53.70
He is with us
every step of the way.
00:18:53.90\00:18:55.93
Even in every situation,
even when we feel afraid,
00:18:56.13\00:19:00.67
or lonely.
00:19:00.87\00:19:02.20
When I was just
beginning the fourth grade,
00:19:02.24\00:19:04.14
I started feeling
lonely day after day.
00:19:04.17\00:19:06.51
School was especially hard.
00:19:06.78\00:19:08.81
And I felt I had no friends.
00:19:08.84\00:19:10.88
Even at home I felt lonely.
00:19:10.91\00:19:12.75
The loneliness
continued for several months
00:19:13.08\00:19:15.68
and I became withdrawn.
00:19:15.72\00:19:17.39
Often I would cry and pray
that God would somehow help me.
00:19:17.92\00:19:21.52
My prayer was
something like this:
00:19:21.72\00:19:23.43
Dear God, please help me.
00:19:23.73\00:19:25.79
Everything seems upside down.
00:19:25.83\00:19:27.40
Please send me a kitten to love.
00:19:27.66\00:19:29.73
And help school
not seem so hard.
00:19:29.93\00:19:32.17
I really want to do Your will.
00:19:32.37\00:19:34.70
On Sunday afternoon my
grandparents called and ask me
00:19:35.60\00:19:39.01
to walk over to their
house because their friends
00:19:39.04\00:19:41.44
who were visiting
wanted me to see something.
00:19:41.48\00:19:44.48
I ran over to my grandparents
house as fast as I could.
00:19:44.61\00:19:48.02
And I found their friend, Vern,
standing there with a basket
00:19:48.22\00:19:52.12
on the floor.
00:19:52.15\00:19:53.49
He asked me to open
the top of the basket.
00:19:53.52\00:19:55.89
I eagerly but
carefully peaked in the basket.
00:19:55.92\00:19:59.89
What do you think I saw?
00:20:03.20\00:20:05.00
Much to my surprise there
were six adorable kittens.
00:20:05.03\00:20:08.54
Vern asked, "Well,
which one do you want?"
00:20:08.70\00:20:11.07
"Really?" I asked.
00:20:11.11\00:20:12.44
I looked at my
grandparents for approval.
00:20:12.47\00:20:14.88
"Yes," they said,
nodding their heads in approval.
00:20:14.91\00:20:17.65
"Your mom has agreed
that you may have one,
00:20:17.75\00:20:20.12
as long as you take care of it."
00:20:20.22\00:20:21.92
You can imagine how happy I was
00:20:29.96\00:20:32.16
and how it affected me.
00:20:32.19\00:20:33.83
God really had
answered my prayer.
00:20:33.86\00:20:36.03
In excitement I wrote this poem,
reminding me I have a friend.
00:20:36.13\00:20:41.60
My second
request was soon answered
00:20:52.35\00:20:54.88
when I got glasses and
I could see more clearly
00:20:54.92\00:20:57.62
to do my school work.
00:20:57.65\00:20:58.99
Everyone has felt
lonely at some time.
00:20:59.42\00:21:02.29
But as we go through
times of discouragement,
00:21:02.59\00:21:05.59
we can choose to trust
God in every circumstance.
00:21:05.63\00:21:08.76
Because Jesus truly does want
to be your very best Friend.
00:21:08.80\00:21:12.43
That's why He came to the
earth and was born in a manger.
00:21:12.67\00:21:16.44
When I look around the
world at Christmas time,
00:23:16.79\00:23:24.53
as I stop and pause
amidst the noise of life,
00:23:24.57\00:23:32.21
You remind me of who You
are and what You've done;
00:23:32.24\00:23:40.42
I am full of joy in knowing You.
00:23:40.92\00:23:48.02
When I look around the
world at Christmas time,
00:23:48.29\00:23:55.63
as I stop and pause
amidst the noise of life,
00:23:56.16\00:24:03.07
You remind me of who You
are and what You've done;
00:24:03.81\00:24:10.91
I am full of joy in knowing You.
00:24:11.98\00:24:18.12
God, the greatest gift
that You could give was Jesus.
00:24:19.22\00:24:26.29
A gift of love,
