Praise Him, praise
Him All ye little children
00:00:03.47\00:00:07.60
God is love, God is love
00:00:07.64\00:00:11.94
Praise Him, praise
Him All ye little children
00:00:11.97\00:00:16.24
God is love, God is love
00:00:16.28\00:00:20.62
Hello, and welcome to our
live Kids Time Holiday Special.
00:00:26.82\00:00:30.16
We are here in the
beautiful Lauderhill
00:00:30.19\00:00:32.19
Seventh-day Adventist Church
near Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
00:00:32.23\00:00:35.00
And I want to
give a warm welcome
00:00:35.03\00:00:36.50
to everyone in the
congregation here today,
00:00:36.53\00:00:38.43
as well as our
television viewing audience.
00:00:38.47\00:00:40.74
I'm so glad you joined us
00:00:40.77\00:00:42.10
because we have an
exciting program for you.
00:00:42.14\00:00:44.87
We have many new faces
00:00:44.91\00:00:46.24
and some of our
Kids Time regulars too.
00:00:46.27\00:00:48.31
Sofia is one of those regulars
00:00:48.34\00:00:50.08
and we share
something in common,
00:00:50.11\00:00:52.21
we are both pastors' kids.
00:00:52.25\00:00:54.48
Sofia sings for her dad's church
00:00:54.52\00:00:56.32
and I know Sofia
well enough to know
00:00:56.35\00:00:58.39
that she sings
gladly and from her heart.
00:00:58.42\00:01:01.09
So sit back,
listen and be blessed
00:01:01.12\00:01:03.12
as Sofia sings the
very beautiful song,
00:01:03.16\00:01:05.69
"O Holy Night".
00:01:05.73\00:01:07.06
O holy night
00:01:13.84\00:01:18.01
the stars are brightly shining
00:01:18.04\00:01:23.98
It is the night
00:01:24.01\00:01:26.72
Of our dear Savior's birth
00:01:26.75\00:01:33.22
Long lay the world
00:01:37.23\00:01:41.46
In sin and error pining
00:01:41.50\00:01:47.44
Till He appeared
00:01:47.47\00:01:50.14
And the soul felt its worth
00:01:50.17\00:01:57.95
A thrill of hope
00:01:57.98\00:02:01.62
The weary world rejoices
00:02:01.65\00:02:07.12
For yonder breaks
00:02:07.16\00:02:11.33
A new and glorious morn
00:02:11.36\00:02:17.07
Fall
00:02:17.10\00:02:20.47
On your knees
00:02:20.50\00:02:25.74
O hear
00:02:25.77\00:02:29.11
The angels' voices
00:02:29.14\00:02:34.78
O night
00:02:34.82\00:02:39.29
Divine
00:02:39.32\00:02:43.16
O night
00:02:43.19\00:02:47.26
When Christ was born
00:02:47.30\00:02:53.10
O night
00:02:53.13\00:02:57.67
Divine
00:02:57.71\00:03:02.01
O night
00:03:02.04\00:03:05.98
O night
00:03:06.01\00:03:10.09
divine
00:03:10.12\00:03:16.89
I like the message in that song
00:03:21.50\00:03:23.06
because you can
really get a sense
00:03:23.10\00:03:24.80
of how very special
that night was the long ago
00:03:24.83\00:03:27.97
when Jesus our Savior was born.
00:03:28.00\00:03:30.37
Let's think about how all heaven
00:03:30.41\00:03:31.97
was watching
over that lowly stable
00:03:32.01\00:03:34.48
as Joshua sings,
"The First Noel".
00:03:34.51\00:03:37.78
The first Noel,
00:03:46.05\00:03:50.66
The angels did say
00:03:50.69\00:03:54.80
Was to certain
poor shepherds in fields
00:03:54.83\00:04:00.44
as they lay
00:04:00.47\00:04:03.27
In fields where they lay
00:04:03.30\00:04:08.31
Keeping their sheep
00:04:08.34\00:04:11.65
On a cold winter's night
00:04:11.68\00:04:15.78
That was so deep
00:04:15.82\00:04:20.26
Noel, Noel,
00:04:20.29\00:04:24.36
Noel, Noel
00:04:24.39\00:04:29.26
Born is the King of Israel!
00:04:29.30\00:04:37.24
And by the light
00:04:37.27\00:04:41.51
Of that same star
00:04:41.54\00:04:45.45
Three wise men
came from country far
00:04:45.48\00:04:53.42
To seek for a King
00:04:53.46\00:04:57.69
Was their intent
00:04:57.73\00:05:01.53
And to follow the star
00:05:01.56\00:05:05.63
Wherever it went
00:05:05.67\00:05:09.70
Noel, Noel,
00:05:09.74\00:05:13.88
Noel, Noel
00:05:13.91\00:05:18.45
Born is the King
00:05:18.48\00:05:21.88
Of Israel!
00:05:21.92\00:05:26.69
Then entered in
those wise men three
00:05:26.72\00:05:34.50
Full reverently upon their knee
00:05:34.53\00:05:42.50
And offered
there in His presence
00:05:42.54\00:05:50.18
Their gold and myrrh
00:05:50.21\00:05:54.08
And frankincense
00:05:54.12\00:05:58.32
Noel, Noel,
00:05:58.35\00:06:02.32
Noel, Noel
00:06:02.36\00:06:07.36
Born is the King
00:06:07.40\00:06:10.90
Of Israel!
00:06:10.93\00:06:18.27
Amen!
00:06:18.31\00:06:19.64
"Hark!
00:06:31.25\00:06:32.59
The herald angels sing"
"Glory to the newborn king"
00:06:32.62\00:06:40.33
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
00:06:40.36\00:06:45.03
God and sinners reconciled
00:06:45.07\00:06:49.34
Joyful all ye nations rise
00:06:49.37\00:06:53.91
Join the triumph of the skies
00:06:53.94\00:06:58.31
With angelic host proclaim
00:06:58.35\00:07:02.72
Christ is born in Bethlehem
00:07:02.75\00:07:07.26
Hark!
00:07:07.29\00:07:08.62
The herald angels sing
00:07:08.66\00:07:11.89
Glory to the newborn King
00:07:11.93\00:07:17.53
Hail the heaven
born Prince of Peace
00:07:17.57\00:07:22.40
Hail the Son of righteousness
00:07:22.44\00:07:26.98
Light and life to all he brings
00:07:27.01\00:07:31.51
Risen with healing in his wings
00:07:31.55\00:07:35.98
Wild he lays his glory by
00:07:36.02\00:07:40.49
Born that man no more may die
00:07:40.52\00:07:44.83
Born to raise the sons of earth
00:07:44.86\00:07:49.26
Born to give them second birth
00:07:49.30\00:07:53.74
Hark!
00:07:53.77\00:07:55.10
The herald angels sing
00:07:55.14\00:07:58.37
Glory to the newborn king
00:07:58.41\00:08:04.71
Glory to the newborn
00:08:04.75\00:08:09.38
Glory to
00:08:09.42\00:08:11.45
The newborn
00:08:11.49\00:08:16.09
King
00:08:16.12\00:08:20.86
Amen.
00:08:20.90\00:08:24.40
One of the things that
I love most about Aaliah
00:08:24.43\00:08:26.74
is her great big heart.
00:08:26.77\00:08:28.27
She likes to share Jesus by
helping tutor her classmates
00:08:28.30\00:08:31.27
that are having trouble
with their school work and,
00:08:31.31\00:08:33.58
you know, what I
really what love to is
00:08:33.61\00:08:34.94
that she's never
ashamed to pray in public.
00:08:34.98\00:08:36.81
Amen.
00:08:36.85\00:08:38.18
Well, Eric came to Kids
Time a couple of years ago
00:08:38.21\00:08:40.32
and I was so impressed
with his musical ability,
00:08:40.35\00:08:42.85
when he was just four years old,
00:08:42.88\00:08:44.59
he discovered a
violin at a yard sale
00:08:44.62\00:08:46.86
and after much negotiating
00:08:46.89\00:08:48.52
his parents
purchased it for just $50.
00:08:48.56\00:08:51.79
Since he was so small,
00:08:51.83\00:08:53.40
he turned the violin upright
and played it like a cello.
00:08:53.43\00:08:56.77
Well, he's been
playing a cello ever since.
00:08:56.80\00:08:59.23
Well, right now,
he's going to play
00:08:59.27\00:09:00.74
the "The Holly and the Ivy",
00:09:00.77\00:09:02.20
and his friend Nana
who is only 11 years old
00:09:02.24\00:09:04.67
is going to accompany him.
00:09:04.71\00:09:06.11
Amen!
00:10:33.06\00:10:37.43
Samantha and Jessica
are sisters that have come
00:10:37.47\00:10:39.53
all the way from Canada.
00:10:39.57\00:10:41.37
They first sang on
Kids Time two years ago
00:10:41.40\00:10:43.51
and I love their family harmony.
00:10:43.54\00:10:45.81
I want to tell you a
little story about Jessica.
00:10:45.84\00:10:47.94
When she was thee years old,
00:10:47.98\00:10:49.78
she insisted on
singing a song all by herself
00:10:49.81\00:10:52.68
at her cousin's baby dedication.
00:10:52.71\00:10:54.48
Well, she did make
it through the song,
00:10:54.52\00:10:56.48
"Jesus loves me and Jesus
loves the little children."
00:10:56.52\00:11:00.72
But she was standing really
close to her mom at the piano,
00:11:00.76\00:11:03.43
but as soon as
she was done singing,
00:11:03.46\00:11:04.96
she ran straight for her daddy.
00:11:04.99\00:11:07.26
Well, today she's
singing duet with her sister,
00:11:07.30\00:11:09.66
"There's a Song in
the Air" and I don't think
00:11:09.70\00:11:12.07
she'll be running
off the platform today.
00:11:12.10\00:11:14.17
There's a song in the air!
00:11:29.15\00:11:32.59
There's a star in the sky!
00:11:32.62\00:11:35.89
There's a mother's deep prayer
00:11:35.92\00:11:39.13
And a baby's low cry!
00:11:39.16\00:11:42.23
And the star rains its fire
00:11:42.26\00:11:44.90
While the beautiful sing
00:11:44.93\00:11:48.50
For the manger of Bethlehem
00:11:48.54\00:11:52.24
Cradles a king!
00:11:52.27\00:11:55.21
There's a tumult of joy
00:12:00.28\00:12:03.69
O'er the wonderful birth
00:12:03.72\00:12:06.76
For the virgin's sweet boy
00:12:06.79\00:12:10.03
Is the Lord of the earth
00:12:10.06\00:12:13.13
And the star rains its fire
00:12:13.16\00:12:15.70
While the beautiful sing
00:12:15.73\00:12:19.33
For the manger of Bethlehem
00:12:19.37\00:12:23.14
Cradles a King!
00:12:23.17\00:12:26.17
We rejoice in the light
00:12:31.11\00:12:34.48
And we echo the song
00:12:34.52\00:12:37.65
That comes down
through the night
00:12:37.69\00:12:40.86
From the heavenly throne
00:12:40.89\00:12:44.09
And we shout to the lovely
00:12:44.13\00:12:47.33
Evangel they bring,
00:12:47.36\00:12:50.37
And we greet in his cradle
00:12:50.40\00:12:53.74
Our savior and king!
00:12:53.77\00:12:57.51
Thank you, girls, so
much for that message in song.
00:13:09.02\00:13:11.69
Right now I want you
to introduce you to Pierce
00:13:11.72\00:13:13.82
who actually is
not far from here.
00:13:13.86\00:13:15.86
Whenever he sings,
00:13:15.89\00:13:17.23
he always has the
big smile on his face
00:13:17.26\00:13:19.69
and everybody knows how
much Miss Brenda love smiles.
00:13:19.73\00:13:23.33
Well, Pierce is
going to sing for us now
00:13:23.37\00:13:25.60
a beautiful Christmas carol,
00:13:25.63\00:13:27.17
"Oh Little Town of Bethlehem".
00:13:27.20\00:13:29.20
Oh little town of Bethlehem,
00:13:40.52\00:13:46.12
How still we see thee lie
00:13:46.15\00:13:51.16
Above thy deep
and dreamless sleep
00:13:51.19\00:13:56.40
The silent stars go by
00:13:56.43\00:14:01.14
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
00:14:01.17\00:14:06.91
The everlasting light
00:14:06.94\00:14:11.65
The hopes and
fears of all the years
00:14:11.68\00:14:17.59
Are met in thee tonight
00:14:17.62\00:14:22.92
For Christ is born of Mary,
00:14:22.96\00:14:28.83
And gathered all above
00:14:28.86\00:14:33.90
While mortals
sleep the angels keep
00:14:33.94\00:14:39.54
Their watch of wondering love
00:14:39.57\00:14:44.71
Oh morning stars together,
00:14:44.75\00:14:50.45
Proclaim that holiest birth
00:14:50.49\00:14:55.39
And praises
sing to God the king,
00:14:55.42\00:15:01.40
And peace to men on earth
00:15:01.43\00:15:06.53
How silently, how silently
00:15:17.78\00:15:23.82
The wondrous gift is given!
00:15:23.85\00:15:28.79
So God imparts to human hearts
00:15:28.82\00:15:34.66
The blessings of His heaven
00:15:34.70\00:15:39.63
No ear may hear His coming
00:15:39.67\00:15:45.44
But in this world of sin
00:15:45.47\00:15:50.41
Where meek souls
00:15:50.45\00:15:52.65
Will receive him still
00:15:52.68\00:16:00.06
The dear Christ enters in
00:16:00.09\00:16:07.06
Amen!
00:16:07.10\00:16:09.03
No beautiful chamber,
00:16:32.95\00:16:36.59
No soft cradle bed
00:16:36.62\00:16:39.89
No place but a manger,
00:16:39.93\00:16:43.47
Nowhere for His head
00:16:43.50\00:16:46.74
No praises of gladness,
00:16:46.77\00:16:50.34
No thought of their sin
00:16:50.37\00:16:53.71
No glory but sadness,
00:16:53.74\00:16:57.08
No room in the inn
00:16:57.11\00:17:00.22
No room, no room, for Jesus
00:17:00.25\00:17:03.79
Oh, give Him welcome free
00:17:03.82\00:17:07.06
Lest you should
hear at Heaven's gate
00:17:07.09\00:17:10.53
"There is no room for thee"
00:17:10.56\00:17:14.30
No one to receive Him
00:17:21.07\00:17:24.51
No welcome while here
00:17:24.54\00:17:27.78
No balm to relieve Him
00:17:27.81\00:17:31.38
No staff but a spear
00:17:31.41\00:17:34.78
No seeking His treasure
00:17:34.82\00:17:38.19
No weeping for sin
00:17:38.22\00:17:41.69
No doing His pleasure
00:17:41.72\00:17:45.13
No room in the inn
00:17:45.16\00:17:48.20
No room, no room, for Jesus
00:17:48.23\00:17:51.77
Oh, give Him welcome free
00:17:51.80\00:17:55.10
Lest you should
hear at Heaven's gate
00:17:55.14\00:17:58.54
"There is no room for thee"
00:17:58.57\00:18:02.44
Amen!
00:18:13.82\00:18:16.96
Allison and
Christopher had been playing
00:18:16.99\00:18:18.69
their violins on Kids
Time for several years now.
00:18:18.73\00:18:21.30
And they're always
eager to witness for Jesus.
00:18:21.33\00:18:24.13
In fact, Allison is saving
for a trip to Africa next year
00:18:24.17\00:18:27.20
to help the children there.
00:18:27.24\00:18:28.64
I had the privilege of
going to Africa myself,
00:18:28.67\00:18:30.81
and I can tell you firsthand
that the need is great.
00:18:30.84\00:18:33.98
I absolutely fell in
love with the people there
00:18:34.01\00:18:35.91
and I'm excited that my sisters,
00:18:35.94\00:18:37.45
Auntie Linda and Miss
Cinda will be joining me
00:18:37.48\00:18:39.68
on a trip back to South Africa
00:18:39.71\00:18:41.48
for their TV out
camp meeting in April.
00:18:41.52\00:18:43.75
Let's listen as
they play the song now
00:18:43.79\00:18:45.75
about the birth of Jesus.
00:18:45.79\00:18:47.56
Amen!
00:20:47.48\00:20:50.38
They make it look
so easy, don't they?
00:20:50.41\00:20:53.18
I recently asked Christopher
00:20:53.21\00:20:54.55
what was his
favorite Bible text,
00:20:54.58\00:20:56.82
and so, boys and
girls, write this down
00:20:56.85\00:20:58.99
so you can read
in your Bible, okay.
00:20:59.02\00:21:01.09
He told me, Ephesians 3:14-21.
00:21:01.12\00:21:05.69
He likes that
text because it says,
00:21:05.73\00:21:07.56
God wants to strengthen
us and put His spirit in us.
00:21:07.60\00:21:11.03
I love that, don't you?
00:21:11.07\00:21:12.50
Why don't you send
me a letter and tell me
00:21:12.53\00:21:14.10
what your favorite Bible text is
00:21:14.14\00:21:15.90
and don't forget to tell me
why, I'd love to hear from you.
00:21:15.94\00:21:19.34
But right now
we're going to listen
00:21:19.37\00:21:20.88
as Aaliah sings my very
favorite Christmas carol,
00:21:20.91\00:21:23.95
"Silent Night".
00:21:23.98\00:21:25.31
Silent Night
00:21:33.56\00:21:38.39
Holy Night
00:21:38.43\00:21:43.23
All is calm
00:21:43.26\00:21:47.80
All is bright
00:21:47.84\00:21:52.57
Round yon virgin
00:21:52.61\00:21:57.15
Mother and child
00:21:57.18\00:22:01.68
Holy infant
00:22:01.72\00:22:05.65
So tender and mild
00:22:05.69\00:22:10.69
Sleep in
00:22:10.73\00:22:13.03
Heavenly peace
00:22:13.06\00:22:20.17
Sleep in
00:22:20.20\00:22:22.77
Heavenly peace
00:22:22.80\00:22:29.58
Silent Night
00:22:29.61\00:22:34.28
Holy Night
00:22:34.32\00:22:38.65
Shepherds pray
00:22:38.69\00:22:43.09
At the sight
00:22:43.12\00:22:47.80
Glory streams
00:22:47.83\00:22:51.63
From heaven afar
00:22:51.67\00:22:56.81
Heavenly hosts
00:22:56.84\00:23:00.81
Sing alleluia
00:23:00.84\00:23:05.81
Christ the Savior
00:23:05.85\00:23:10.02
Is born
00:23:10.05\00:23:16.36
Christ the Savior
00:23:16.39\00:23:20.73
Is born
00:23:20.76\00:23:27.67
Amen!
00:23:30.51\00:23:32.17
Angels we have heard on high
00:23:45.65\00:23:50.19
Sweetly swinging o'er the plains
00:23:50.23\00:23:54.46
And the mountains in reply
00:23:54.50\00:23:58.90
Echoing their joyous strains
00:23:58.93\00:24:03.20
Gloria
00:24:03.24\00:24:08.21

Gloria

00:24:24.49\00:24:31.10
Shepherds why this jubilee
00:24:31.13\00:24:35.50
Why your joyous songs prolong
00:24:35.54\00:24:39.67
What the gladsome tidings be
00:24:39.71\00:24:43.98
Which inspire
your heavenly song?
00:24:44.01\00:24:48.08
Gloria
00:24:48.12\00:24:53.09

00:25:16.04\00:25:21.05

00:25:21.08\00:25:24.69
Come, adore on bended knee
00:25:24.72\00:25:28.99
Christ the
Lord, our newborn King
00:25:29.02\00:25:33.40
Gloria
00:25:33.43\00:25:38.40
In Excelsis Deo
00:25:41.70\00:25:45.77
Gloria
00:25:45.81\00:25:50.78
In Excelsis Deo
00:25:54.25\00:26:01.99
Amen!
00:26:02.02\00:26:03.99
Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
00:26:18.17\00:26:24.88
From tender stem hath sprung
00:26:24.91\00:26:32.25
Of Jesse's lineage coming
00:26:32.29\00:26:38.76
As men of old have sung
00:26:38.79\00:26:45.80
It came a flow'ret bright
00:26:45.83\00:26:51.31
Amid the cold of winter
00:26:51.34\00:26:57.45
When half-spent
00:26:57.48\00:27:00.75
Was the night
00:27:00.78\00:27:06.15
Isaiah 'twas foretold it
00:27:06.19\00:27:13.06
This Rose that I have in mind
00:27:13.09\00:27:20.97
With Mary we behold it
00:27:21.00\00:27:27.61
The Virgin Mother
so sweet and so kind
00:27:27.64\00:27:34.98
To show God's love aright
00:27:35.02\00:27:40.39
She bore to us a Savior
00:27:40.42\00:27:46.49
When half-spent
00:27:46.53\00:27:50.10
Was the night
00:27:50.13\00:27:56.91
Amen!
00:27:56.94\00:28:00.78
Thank you, Toni-Ann.
00:28:00.81\00:28:02.44
Today is a very
special today for Zana
00:28:02.48\00:28:04.65
because she is not
only singing on Kids Time,
00:28:04.68\00:28:07.28
but she is also singing
in her very own home church.
00:28:07.32\00:28:10.55
Amen! That's right.
00:28:10.59\00:28:12.22
And in fact, she is the
reason that we're here today.
00:28:12.25\00:28:15.62
Zana wanted to share Kids
Time with her church family,
00:28:15.66\00:28:18.66
so she made the request to
her pastor and here we are.
00:28:18.69\00:28:22.83
She sings here
on a regular basis
00:28:22.86\00:28:24.63
and also travels to
many different churches
00:28:24.67\00:28:26.53
singing songs about Jesus.
00:28:26.57\00:28:28.44
She loves God very much
00:28:28.47\00:28:29.80
and she is a
witness everywhere she goes.
00:28:29.84\00:28:32.14
Right now she is
going to sing a very popular
00:28:32.17\00:28:34.28
and familiar
carol, "Away in a Manger".
00:28:34.31\00:28:36.98
Away in a manger
00:28:49.76\00:28:54.36
No crib for a bed
00:28:54.40\00:28:59.23
The little Lord Jesus
00:28:59.27\00:29:03.87
Lay down his sweet head
00:29:03.91\00:29:08.38
The stars in the bright sky
00:29:08.41\00:29:13.05
Look down where he laid
00:29:13.08\00:29:17.59
The little Lord Jesus
00:29:17.62\00:29:22.16
Asleep on the hay
00:29:22.19\00:29:26.70
The cattle are lowing
00:29:26.73\00:29:31.17
The baby awakes
00:29:31.20\00:29:35.64
But little Lord Jesus
00:29:35.67\00:29:40.11
No crying he makes
00:29:40.14\00:29:44.41
I love thee Lord Jesus
00:29:44.45\00:29:48.88
Look down from the sky
00:29:48.92\00:29:53.29
And stay by my side
00:29:53.32\00:29:57.69
'Til morning is nigh
00:29:57.73\00:30:02.06
I love thee Lord Jesus
00:30:02.10\00:30:06.74
Look down from the sky
00:30:06.77\00:30:11.57
And stay by my side
00:30:11.61\00:30:16.44
'Til morning is nigh
00:30:16.48\00:30:22.92
Amen!
00:30:22.95\00:30:26.92
That song is about Jesus
00:30:26.96\00:30:28.46
who was brought into
this world as a tiny baby,
00:30:28.49\00:30:31.09
but His mission was
not tiny at all, was it?
00:30:31.13\00:30:33.80
He was born to be
the savior of man.
00:30:33.83\00:30:36.23
He ransomed us from this world
we were held captive in sin.
00:30:36.26\00:30:39.97
In Matthew 1:23 it says,
"Behold the virgin shall be
00:30:40.00\00:30:45.14
with the child and bear a son
00:30:45.17\00:30:47.31
and they shall
call his name Emmanuel",
00:30:47.34\00:30:49.54
which is translated God with us.
00:30:49.58\00:30:52.75
Pierce is going to sing,
00:30:52.78\00:30:54.12
"O Come, O come Emmanuel!"
00:30:54.15\00:30:56.18
O come, O come, Emmanuel
00:31:05.13\00:31:13.00
And ransom captive Israel
00:31:13.03\00:31:20.98
That mourns in lonely exile here
00:31:21.01\00:31:28.62
Until the Son of God appear
00:31:28.65\00:31:36.52
Rejoice! Rejoice!
00:31:36.56\00:31:42.60
Emmanuel
00:31:42.63\00:31:47.57
Shall come to thee,
00:31:47.60\00:31:50.57
O Israel
00:31:50.61\00:31:55.64
O come desire of nations bind
00:32:01.22\00:32:09.09
In one the hearts of mankind
00:32:09.12\00:32:16.63
Bid thou our sad division cease
00:32:16.67\00:32:23.91
And be thy God
00:32:23.94\00:32:26.51
Our King of peace
00:32:26.54\00:32:31.28
Rejoice! Rejoice!
00:32:31.31\00:32:36.69
Emmanuel
00:32:36.72\00:32:41.36
Shall come to thee,
00:32:41.39\00:32:44.46
O Israel
00:32:44.49\00:32:51.37
Amen!
00:32:51.40\00:32:55.50
Thank you, Pierce.
00:32:55.54\00:32:57.04
Samantha is just 12 years old,
00:32:57.07\00:32:58.84
but she's been singing in
church since she was four.
00:32:58.87\00:33:01.48
In fact her mom told me
that Samantha could sing
00:33:01.51\00:33:03.91
even before she
learned to talk, imagine that.
00:33:03.95\00:33:06.92
You know, my
grandson Michael is six now
00:33:06.95\00:33:08.78
and I love to hear him singing,
and he has a beautiful voice
00:33:08.82\00:33:11.82
but he's too shy to
sing in front of people.
00:33:11.85\00:33:14.72
So you see it's real gift to
be able to share your talents
00:33:14.76\00:33:17.89
in front of people
of their age, isn't it?
00:33:17.93\00:33:20.16
I'm glad that Samantha
and Jessica are sharing
00:33:20.20\00:33:22.26
their musical
talents with us today.
00:33:22.30\00:33:24.40
They're going
to sing for us now,
00:33:24.43\00:33:25.93
"Infant Holy, Infant Lowly".
00:33:25.97\00:33:28.37
Infant holy, infant lowly
00:33:34.28\00:33:38.15
For His bed a cattle stall
00:33:38.18\00:33:41.95
Oxen lowing, little knowing
00:33:41.98\00:33:45.62
Christ, the babe is Lord of all
00:33:45.65\00:33:49.42
Swift are
winging, angels singing
00:33:49.46\00:33:53.19
Noels ringing, tidings bringing
00:33:53.23\00:33:57.00
Christ, the babe is Lord of all
00:33:57.03\00:34:00.84
Christ, the babe is Lord of all
00:34:00.87\00:34:05.87
Flocks were
sleeping, shepherds keeping
00:34:05.91\00:34:09.71
Vigil till the morning new
00:34:09.74\00:34:13.52
Saw the glory, heard the story
00:34:13.55\00:34:17.35
Tiny tide the gospel true
00:34:17.39\00:34:21.19
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow
00:34:21.22\00:34:25.06
Praises voicing greet the morrow
00:34:25.09\00:34:28.90
Christ, the
babe was born for you
00:34:28.93\00:34:32.77
Christ, the
babe was born for you
00:34:32.80\00:34:38.07
Amen!
00:34:38.11\00:34:39.44
Tony-Ann told me
that her favorite singer
00:34:42.31\00:34:44.85
is Wintley Phipps.
00:34:44.88\00:34:46.41
She even had the privilege
of singing in this church
00:34:46.45\00:34:48.52
not once but twice,
00:34:48.55\00:34:50.39
and what she remembers
most about that experience
00:34:50.42\00:34:52.72
is when Pastor
Phipps prayed with her.
00:34:52.75\00:34:54.96
He told that God has
given her very special gift
00:34:54.99\00:34:58.43
and that she should
never ever allow the devil
00:34:58.46\00:35:00.70
to influence how
she uses that gift.
00:35:00.73\00:35:02.46
Amen!
00:35:02.50\00:35:03.83
That was very
good advice, wasn't it?
00:35:03.87\00:35:05.47
Tony-Ann wants to use her
voice to witness for Jesus
00:35:05.50\00:35:08.34
and to bless others,
and I'm sure you'll receive
00:35:08.37\00:35:10.37
a blessing as we hear her sing,
00:35:10.41\00:35:12.51
"While Shepherds
Watched Their Flocks".
00:35:12.54\00:35:14.71
While shepherds
watched their flocks by night
00:35:20.62\00:35:26.39
All seated on the ground
00:35:26.42\00:35:31.96
The angel of the Lord came down
00:35:31.99\00:35:37.77
And glory shone around
00:35:37.80\00:35:43.37
And glory shone around
00:35:43.41\00:35:49.68
Fear not, said
he, for mighty dread
00:35:49.71\00:35:55.85
Had filled their troubled mind
00:35:55.88\00:36:01.76
Glad tidings of
great joy I bring
00:36:01.79\00:36:07.50
To you and all mankind
00:36:07.53\00:36:13.37
To you and all mankind
00:36:13.40\00:36:19.24
To you, in David's town this day
00:36:19.27\00:36:25.28
Is born of David's line
00:36:25.31\00:36:30.95
The Savior who
is Christ the Lord
00:36:30.99\00:36:36.86
And this shall be the sign
00:36:36.89\00:36:42.60
And this shall be the sign
00:36:42.63\00:36:48.97
The heav'nly Babe
you there shall find
00:36:49.00\00:36:55.18
To human view displayed
00:36:55.21\00:37:00.88
All meanly
wrapped in swathing bands
00:37:00.92\00:37:06.65
And in a manger laid
00:37:06.69\00:37:12.33
And in a manger laid
00:37:12.36\00:37:20.30
Amen!
00:37:20.34\00:37:22.67
O come, O come, Emmanuel
00:37:42.36\00:37:48.10
And ransom captive Israel
00:37:48.13\00:37:53.84
That mourns in lonely exile here
00:37:53.87\00:37:59.57
Until the Son of God appear
00:37:59.61\00:38:05.25
Rejoice! Rejoice!
00:38:05.28\00:38:09.08
Emmanuel
00:38:09.12\00:38:12.72
Shall come to thee, O Israel
00:38:12.75\00:38:18.99
O come, O come, Emmanuel
00:38:35.64\00:38:41.05
And ransom captive Israel
00:38:41.08\00:38:46.72
That mourns in lonely exile here
00:38:46.76\00:38:52.46
Until the Son of God appear
00:38:52.49\00:38:59.93
Rejoice! Rejoice!
00:38:59.97\00:39:05.77
Emmanuel
00:39:05.81\00:39:09.38
Shall come to thee, O Israel
00:39:09.41\00:39:16.95
Shall come to thee, O Israel
00:39:16.99\00:39:23.99
Amen!
00:39:27.20\00:39:28.86
In the little
village of Bethlehem
00:39:40.84\00:39:48.28
There lay a child one day
00:39:48.32\00:39:55.32
And the sky was bright
00:39:55.36\00:39:59.06
With a holy light
00:39:59.09\00:40:02.96
O'er the place where Jesus lay
00:40:03.00\00:40:09.84
Alleluia
00:40:09.87\00:40:13.01
O how the angels sang!
00:40:13.04\00:40:17.21
Alleluia
00:40:17.25\00:40:20.58
How it rang!
00:40:20.62\00:40:24.12
And the sky was bright
00:40:24.15\00:40:27.86
With a holy light
00:40:27.89\00:40:31.49
'Twas the birthday
00:40:31.53\00:40:35.46
Of a King
00:40:35.50\00:40:39.67
Twas a humble birthplace
00:40:39.70\00:40:43.71
But oh, how much
00:40:43.74\00:40:46.84
God gave to us that day!
00:40:46.88\00:40:53.82
From the manger bed
00:40:53.85\00:40:57.45
What a path has led
00:40:57.49\00:41:01.16
What a perfect holy way
00:41:01.19\00:41:07.90
Alleluia
00:41:07.93\00:41:11.00
Oh, how the angels sang!
00:41:11.03\00:41:15.07
Alleluia
00:41:15.10\00:41:18.41
How it rang!
00:41:18.44\00:41:21.94
And the sky was bright
00:41:21.98\00:41:25.58
With a Holy light
00:41:25.61\00:41:29.62
'Twas the birthday
00:41:29.65\00:41:34.22
Of a King
00:41:34.26\00:41:42.20
Amen!
00:41:42.23\00:41:45.63
Amen.
00:41:45.67\00:41:47.00
Well, I'm
excited to introduce you
00:41:47.04\00:41:48.37
to two very talented girls
00:41:48.40\00:41:50.41
and this is their very
first time on Kids Time.
00:41:50.44\00:41:53.48
They've been playing the
harp and flute for five years
00:41:53.51\00:41:56.01
and they share their talents
in many places and churches,
00:41:56.04\00:41:58.71
hospitals, nursing homes.
00:41:58.75\00:42:00.62
They even go to home
visits and see the sick
00:42:00.65\00:42:03.32
and the grieving, and
the elderly and the blind.
00:42:03.35\00:42:06.02
They have a real
passion for sharing Jesus
00:42:06.05\00:42:08.49
and you will all
know, and all of you know
00:42:08.52\00:42:11.39
how I feel
about that, don't you?
00:42:11.43\00:42:12.93
Well, let's listen as
Christiana and Chrissa play,
00:42:12.96\00:42:15.53
"It Came Upon a Midnight Clear".
00:42:15.56\00:42:17.87
Amen!
00:44:12.98\00:44:16.95
I just love songs
that praise the Lord.
00:44:16.99\00:44:19.55
There are so many times
we go to our heavenly Father
00:44:19.59\00:44:21.86
to ask for things,
but not enough times
00:44:21.89\00:44:24.29
when we go just to praise Him
for the awesome God that He is.
00:44:24.33\00:44:28.00
Can you imagine
how the angels felt
00:44:28.03\00:44:29.76
on that very special night,
00:44:29.80\00:44:31.30
so long ago when Jesus was born?
00:44:31.33\00:44:33.50
They wanted to tell
everybody to come and worship
00:44:33.54\00:44:35.74
the new born king.
00:44:35.77\00:44:37.21
Zana is going to praise
the Lord now as she sings
00:44:37.24\00:44:40.21
"O Come All Ye Faithful".
00:44:40.24\00:44:42.21
O come, all ye faithful
00:44:53.96\00:45:01.23
Joyful and triumphant
00:45:01.26\00:45:06.70
O come ye,
00:45:06.74\00:45:09.90
O come ye
00:45:09.94\00:45:12.81
To Bethlehem
00:45:12.84\00:45:19.48
Come and behold Him
00:45:19.51\00:45:25.55
Born the King of Angels!
00:45:25.59\00:45:30.79
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:30.83\00:45:36.97
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:37.00\00:45:42.90
O come, let us adore Him
00:45:42.94\00:45:49.51
Christ the Lord
00:45:49.54\00:45:55.42
Sing, choirs of angels
00:45:55.45\00:46:01.92
Sing in exaltation
00:46:01.96\00:46:07.20
Oh, sing, all ye citizens
00:46:07.23\00:46:13.23
Of heav'n above
00:46:13.27\00:46:19.71
Glory to God
00:46:19.74\00:46:25.58
Glory in the highest
00:46:25.61\00:46:30.69
Oh, come let us adore Him
00:46:30.72\00:46:36.52
Oh, come let us adore Him
00:46:36.56\00:46:42.23
Oh, come let us adore Him
00:46:42.26\00:46:48.57
Christ the Lord
00:46:48.60\00:46:53.61
Oh, come let us adore Him
00:46:53.64\00:47:00.85
Christ
00:47:00.88\00:47:07.22
The Lord
00:47:07.26\00:47:11.59
Amen!
00:47:11.63\00:47:15.83
There are many songs written
about the birth of the savior
00:47:15.86\00:47:18.37
because of what an
important event it was.
00:47:18.40\00:47:20.77
Just think, if Jesus had
never been born in this earth
00:47:20.80\00:47:23.81
and His blood shed on Calvary,
00:47:23.84\00:47:25.54
then none of us would be
able to have eternal life.
00:47:25.57\00:47:28.21
God's love is so
amazing, isn't it?
00:47:28.24\00:47:30.65
Christopher and Allison
are going to play for us
00:47:30.68\00:47:32.68
a beautiful song
about the birth of Jesus,
00:47:32.71\00:47:35.28
"Now is Born the
Divine Christ Child".
00:47:35.32\00:47:38.72
Amen!
00:49:14.15\00:49:18.29
Pierce is the
real prayer warrior.
00:49:18.32\00:49:20.06
A few years ago
Pierce prayed for his pastor
00:49:20.09\00:49:22.49
who had lost his Bible,
and even though it seemed like
00:49:22.52\00:49:25.09
it was lost forever,
Pierce did not stop praying.
00:49:25.13\00:49:28.93
He didn't it, he
prayed every day,
00:49:28.96\00:49:30.43
every night and he kept praying
until that Bible was found.
00:49:30.47\00:49:33.94
Amen!
00:49:33.97\00:49:35.30
Pierce had faith that
God would answer his prayer
00:49:35.34\00:49:37.01
just like the wise men
had faith to follow that star.
00:49:37.04\00:49:40.48
Pierce is going to sing
for us now, "We Three Kings".
00:49:40.51\00:49:43.95
We three kings of Orient are
00:49:51.29\00:49:56.76
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
00:49:56.79\00:50:01.96
Field and
fountain, moor and mountain
00:50:02.00\00:50:06.97
Following yonder star
00:50:07.00\00:50:12.34
O Star of wonder, star of night
00:50:12.37\00:50:20.08
Star with royal beauty bright
00:50:20.12\00:50:24.49
Westward
leading, still proceeding
00:50:24.52\00:50:28.99
Guide us to thy Perfect Light
00:50:29.02\00:50:35.20
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
00:50:35.23\00:50:39.83
Gold I bring to crown Him again
00:50:39.87\00:50:44.67
King forever, ceasing never
00:50:44.71\00:50:49.51
Over us all to reign
00:50:49.54\00:50:54.62
O Star of wonder, star of night
00:50:54.65\00:51:02.02
Star with royal beauty bright
00:51:02.06\00:51:06.49
Westward
leading, still proceeding
00:51:06.53\00:51:10.87
Guide us to thy perfect light
00:51:10.90\00:51:17.07
Glorious now behold Him arise
00:51:17.11\00:51:21.64
King and God and Sacrifice
00:51:21.68\00:51:26.41
Alleluia, Alleluia
00:51:26.45\00:51:30.85
Sounds through
the earth and size
00:51:30.89\00:51:35.79
O Star of wonder, star of night
00:51:35.82\00:51:43.30
Star with royal beauty bright
00:51:43.33\00:51:47.64
Westward
leading, still proceeding
00:51:47.67\00:51:52.07
Guide us to thy perfect light
00:51:52.11\00:51:59.38
Amen!
00:51:59.41\00:52:02.38
Amen, thank you, Pierce.
00:52:02.42\00:52:04.29
I can almost
imagine these great wise men
00:52:04.32\00:52:06.82
up on the hillside
searching the heavens
00:52:06.86\00:52:09.09
and following
that star of Bethlehem.
00:52:09.12\00:52:11.59
Just to say follow that star,
00:52:11.63\00:52:13.66
it's important
that we follow Jesus.
00:52:13.70\00:52:15.70
And we can learn more about
how to draw closer to Jesus
00:52:15.73\00:52:18.57
by reading our Bibles.
00:52:18.60\00:52:20.40
And then we can tell our friends
00:52:20.44\00:52:21.84
about Jesus too.
00:52:21.87\00:52:23.30
Let's listen as
Samantha and Jessica sing,
00:52:23.34\00:52:25.64
"Go Tell It on the Mountain".
00:52:25.67\00:52:27.48
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:52:32.75\00:52:36.55
Over the hills and everywhere
00:52:36.58\00:52:40.32
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:52:40.36\00:52:43.73
That Jesus Christ is born
00:52:43.76\00:52:47.63
While shepherds
kept their watching
00:52:47.66\00:52:51.13
Over wandering flocks by night
00:52:51.17\00:52:54.64
Behold, from out the heavens
00:52:54.67\00:52:58.07
There shone a holy light
00:52:58.11\00:53:03.01
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:53:03.04\00:53:06.65
Over the hills and everywhere
00:53:06.68\00:53:10.32
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:53:10.35\00:53:13.52
That Jesus Christ is born
00:53:13.56\00:53:17.56
And though when they had seen it
00:53:17.59\00:53:21.23
They hold back down and prayed
00:53:21.26\00:53:24.73
Then traveled all together
00:53:24.77\00:53:28.14
To where the babe was laid
00:53:28.17\00:53:33.81
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:53:33.84\00:53:37.51
Over the hills and everywhere
00:53:37.55\00:53:41.22
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:53:41.25\00:53:44.49
That Jesus Christ is born
00:53:44.52\00:53:48.52
That Jesus Christ is born
00:53:48.56\00:53:53.93
Amen.
00:53:53.96\00:53:56.73
Thank you,
girls, it's so important
00:53:56.77\00:53:58.40
go tell it everywhere, isn't it?
00:53:58.43\00:54:00.00
Jesus, we, we have
such a blessed truth
00:54:00.04\00:54:02.07
and we need to
tell everyone, don't we?
00:54:02.10\00:54:04.31
Someone else that
just loves to talk about
00:54:04.34\00:54:06.41
and tell about Jesus
00:54:06.44\00:54:08.68
everywhere it
goes is Joshua Lance.
00:54:08.71\00:54:10.95
And Joshua, well,
he sings in churches,
00:54:10.98\00:54:12.95
he travels all over and
he loves to sing for Jesus.
00:54:12.98\00:54:16.15
And I love that about
his, him and actually,
00:54:16.18\00:54:19.45
when I went to even
Africa, there was people there
00:54:19.49\00:54:22.69
that watched him
over there, they said,
00:54:22.72\00:54:24.06
"How is Joshua,
we just love Joshua,"
00:54:24.09\00:54:25.79
they always telling
me to tell Joshua, hi,
00:54:25.83\00:54:27.76
and I love this
ability to witness for Jesus.
00:54:27.80\00:54:30.87
Well, right now he's gonna sing,
00:54:30.90\00:54:32.53
"What child is this".
00:54:32.57\00:54:34.24
What child is this?
00:54:44.05\00:54:47.05
Who meant to rest on
00:54:47.08\00:54:50.15
Mary's lap is sleeping
00:54:50.19\00:54:55.12
Whom angels
greet with anthem sweet
00:54:55.16\00:55:00.40
While shepherds
watch our keeping
00:55:00.43\00:55:06.17
This, this is Christ, the King
00:55:06.20\00:55:10.71
Whom shepherds
guard and angels sing
00:55:10.74\00:55:16.58
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
00:55:16.61\00:55:21.28
The babe, the Son of Mary
00:55:21.32\00:55:28.49
So bring him
incense, gold and myrrh
00:55:28.52\00:55:33.60
Come rich and pour to own him
00:55:33.63\00:55:38.83
The King of
kings, salvation brings
00:55:38.87\00:55:44.07
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
00:55:44.11\00:55:49.91
This, this is Christ, the King
00:55:49.94\00:55:54.58
Whom shepherds
guard and angels sing
00:55:54.62\00:55:59.99
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
00:56:00.02\00:56:04.76
The babe, the Son of Mary
00:56:04.79\00:56:11.97
Why lies He in such mean estate
00:56:12.00\00:56:16.97
Where ox and ass are feeding?
00:56:17.01\00:56:22.14
Good Christian,
fear for sinners here
00:56:22.18\00:56:27.38
The silent word is pleading
00:56:27.42\00:56:32.82
This, this is Christ, the King
00:56:32.85\00:56:37.66
Whom shepherds
guard and angels sing
00:56:37.69\00:56:43.26
Haste, Haste to bring Him laud
00:56:43.30\00:56:47.84
The Babe, the Son of Mary
00:56:47.87\00:56:55.84
Amen!
00:56:55.88\00:56:59.48
Amen, thank you, Joshua.
00:56:59.51\00:57:01.38
I'm gonna ask our Cadet
Sisters to come out at this time
00:57:01.42\00:57:04.02
and I've asked them to
sing "Joy to the World".
00:57:04.05\00:57:06.76
I'd like all of
you to sing with us
00:57:06.79\00:57:08.46
and let them sing it through
and then everybody join too,
00:57:08.49\00:57:11.79
because I think
everybody knows that song,
00:57:11.83\00:57:13.63
it's so important that we have
00:57:13.66\00:57:17.30
such a joy in
our heart for Jesus,
00:57:17.33\00:57:18.90
not just during the
holidays but all year, right?
00:57:18.93\00:57:21.44
Well, that's all
the time we have today,
00:57:21.47\00:57:23.61
so I want to thank
each of you for joining us.
00:57:23.64\00:57:25.87
I'd like to
encourage you to make Christ
00:57:25.91\00:57:27.54
the center of your life
not just during the holidays
00:57:27.58\00:57:30.65
but each day of the year.
00:57:30.68\00:57:32.25
And as we sing Joy to the World,
00:57:32.28\00:57:34.08
I want you to
remember, boys and girls,
00:57:34.12\00:57:36.32
it's Kids Time to praise Jesus.
00:57:36.35\00:57:42.12
Joy to the
