00:07 God is love, God is love 00:12 Praise Him, praise Him All ye little children 00:16 God is love, God is love 00:24 Hi boys and girls, I love holidays, don't you? 00:28 My favorite thing to do is to spend time 00:31 with family and friends and just enjoy being together. 00:35 Best of all most holidays come around at least once every year. 00:39 Now birthdays are especially fun to celebrate. 00:41 They give you a chance to let someone know 00:44 how important they are to you just because they were born. 00:48 It's that time of year again boys and girls, 00:50 time to celebrate the most important birthday of all, 00:53 the birth of Jesus. 00:55 Now people have been celebrating His birth for hundreds of years 00:58 by writing and performing beautiful songs. 01:01 We are going to hear some of those songs today. 01:04 Aileana is five-years-old 01:06 and she is going to sing "The First Noel." 01:17 The first Noel the angels did say 01:24 Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay 01:30 In fields where they lay keeping their sheep 01:37 On a cold winter's night that was so deep 01:44 Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 01:50 Born is the King of Israel 01:57 Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 02:04 Born is the King of Israel 02:16 There are all kinds of songs about Jesus and His birth 02:19 and most of them just want to make you sing along, don't they. 02:22 Here is one that will keep you singing for the rest of the day. 02:26 Listen as Geoffrey plays "Go tell it on the mountain" 02:28 on his trumpet and when he is done, 02:30 go tell someone that Jesus was born 02:33 and that He is coming again soon. 04:09 Do you ever think about what it will be like in heaven? 04:12 I know I do. 04:13 One of the best things in heaven will be all the beautiful music. 04:17 We will actually get to hear angel choir sing. 04:19 Can you believe it? 04:20 I've never heard an angel choir sing, 04:22 but if I did, I'm sure each voice will be 04:25 right on tune and in perfect harmony. 04:28 Not too soft and not too loud but just right. 04:32 That's what the shepherds heard one night, 04:33 hundreds of years ago when Jesus was born. 04:36 They heard angels singing from on high in the heavens 04:39 about the good news of Jesus birth. 04:42 Listen as Jordan sings about that "Wonder's Night." 04:52 Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing over the plains 05:00 And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains 05:08 Gloria in excelsis Deo 05:19 Gloria in excelsis Deo 05:33 Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing 05:41 Come, adore on bended knee 05:44 Christ the Lord, the newborn King 05:48 Gloria in excelsis Deo 05:59 Gloria in excelsis Deo 06:19 Have you ever had one of those days when you had 06:21 so many favorite songs running through your head 06:24 that you just felt like singing all of them at the same time? 06:27 That happens sometimes, doesn't it? 06:29 And when it does, all you have to do 06:31 is put them all together and sing a medley. 06:34 That's right, a medley. 06:35 Emily is going to play a medley on her violin 06:38 of some of her favorite songs about Jesus' birth. 06:41 See if you can name each song as she plays. 10:01 I love to give gifts to people I love on their birthdays 10:04 and holidays, don't you? 10:06 And I like giving gifts even more than I like receiving them. 10:09 If you could give a gift to Jesus, 10:11 what would you give Him? 10:13 Mary gave Him perfume and Martha gave Him food. 10:16 But really there was just one gift 10:19 Jesus wanted people to give Him. 10:21 Can you guess what it was? 10:22 Our next song sung by the Cadet Sisters is all about 10:26 the one gift Jesus really wants you to give Him today. 10:41 What can I give Him? What can I bring? 10:49 What can I give Him? But all of my heart 10:58 What can I give Him? What can I bring? 11:05 What can I give Him? I'll give Him my heart 11:13 I'll give Him my heart I'll give Him my heart 11:22 What can I give Him But all of my heart? 11:29 I'll give Him my heart I'll give Him my heart 11:38 What can I give Him? I'll give Him my heart 11:49 I'll give Him my heart I'll give Him my heart 11:59 What can I give Him But all of my heart? 12:06 I'll give Him my heart I'll give Him my heart 12:16 What can I give Him? I'll give Him my heart 12:25 What can I give Him? I'll give Him my heart 12:40 Boys and girls, what sort of things bring you joy? 12:43 What makes you happy? 12:45 When someone gives you a present or when you get good news? 12:48 How about when you have birthday 12:49 or you make a new friend at school? 12:51 May be it's when summer vacation starts 12:53 or someone tells you that they love you. 12:55 Just imagine something so wonderful 12:58 that it brought joy to the whole world. 13:01 I can think of only one thing 13:03 that would bring that kind of joy. 13:05 Can you guess what it is? 13:06 Our next song tells us the answer. 13:09 Listen as Mirielle plays and sings "Joy to the World." 13:25 Joy to the world The Lord has come 13:31 Let earth receive her King 13:38 Let every heart prepare Him room 13:44 And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing 13:50 And heaven and heaven and nature sing 14:04 Joy to the earth The Savior reigns 14:09 Let men their songs employ 14:16 While fields and floods Rocks, hills, and plains 14:22 Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy 14:28 Repeat, repeat the sounding joy 14:53 If you pay any attention to the news, 14:55 you are probably wondering 14:56 if there's any peaceful place on earth. 14:58 That's the sad thing about living in a world full of sin. 15:02 It was just that kind of world that Jesus was born into 15:05 more than 2,000 years ago. 15:08 And it was just that kind of world that Jesus came to save. 15:11 He was born to bring peace into our world and into our hearts. 15:15 Listen now as Eden's Kid's Choir sings about peace on earth 15:19 and where that peace begins. 15:27 Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me 15:37 Let there be peace on earth The peace that was meant to be 15:47 With God as our Father Brothers all are we 15:56 Let me walk with my brother In perfect harmony 16:06 Let peace begin with me Let this be the moment now 16:16 With every step I take Let this be my solemn vow 16:24 To take each moment And live each moment 16:29 With peace eternally Let there be peace on earth 16:38 And let it begin with me Let peace begin with me 16:48 Let this be the moment now With every step I take 16:57 Let this be my solemn vow To take each moment 17:05 And live each moment With peace eternally 17:11 Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me 17:21 Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me 17:38 Have you noticed that there seems to be 17:40 music in the air, wherever you go? 17:42 There is music playing in the malls 17:44 and in the cars as they whiz down the road. 17:46 There is music playing in restaurants 17:48 and on the ski slopes and I even heard music 17:50 playing outside the gas pumps when I stop for gas one time. 17:54 And long time ago, there was music in the air 17:57 but it wasn't playing on some radio at a gas station. 18:00 It was the sound of angel voices singing from the heavens. 18:04 Now that's the kind of music I would like to hear in the air. 18:07 Listen to Lester play "There's a Song in the Air" 18:10 and try to image what those 18:11 angle voices must have sounded like. 20:35 Boys and girls, I have been waiting 20:37 for my entire lifetime for Jesus to come. 20:40 I carefully study my Bible and I watch for all the signs 20:43 and I know His coming is near. 20:45 But did you know that long ago many people are waiting 20:49 and watching for Jesus to come, just like I'm today. 20:52 They knew the Messiah would soon be born 20:54 and they pray for Him to come soon. 20:56 Do you pray for Jesus to come soon? I hope so. 21:00 Let's listen as Danielle sings a prayer 21:02 for the Messiah to come and save His people. 21:11 O come, O come, Emmanuel 21:19 And ransom captive Israel 21:27 That mourns in lonely exile here 21:35 Until the Son of God appear 21:43 Rejoice, rejoice 21:49 Emmanuel shall come to thee oh Israel 22:03 Rejoice, rejoice 22:08 Emmanuel shall come to thee oh Israel 22:28 Have you ever heard a knock on the door and open it 22:30 just to discover that someone had dropped in to surprise you. 22:34 Someone like may be your grandma, your grandpa, 22:36 aunts and uncles. 22:37 Some people were surprised just like that 22:39 when Jesus was born, but not everyone. 22:42 Some kings and wise men from afar 22:44 had been studying the scripture for years 22:47 and they had a really good idea 22:48 when and where the promised Messiah would be born. 22:52 Listen now, as the Hartmans play us a song 22:54 about those kings who weren't one bit surprised, 22:57 it's called "We Three Kings." 25:28 What sort of person do you think of when you think of a king? 25:32 Do you think of an old man with a crown and a beard 25:35 and wearing silk robes and living in a fancy castle? 25:38 Some people thought Jesus would grow up to be that kind of king. 25:42 But just as Jesus was born in a quite humble place, 25:45 He grew up to live a quite humble life. 25:48 When we celebrate His birthday, 25:50 we are celebrating the birthday of a king but not just any king. 25:54 Jesus loved us so much that He gave His life. 25:58 That's the kind of king I want to serve. 26:00 Yumi is going to sing about Jesus' birthday right now. 26:09 In the little village of Bethlehem 26:15 There lay a child one day 26:20 And the sky was bright with a holy light 26:27 Over the place where Jesus lay 26:32 Alleluia! O how the angels sang 26:38 Alleluia! How it rang! 26:44 And the sky was bright with a holy light 26:52 'Twas the birthday of a King 26:57 Let us also adore Him O come, let us adore Him 27:07 O come, let us adore Him Christ the Lord 27:18 'Twas a humble birthplace, but O how much 27:25 God gave to us that day 27:30 From the manger bed what a path has led 27:36 What a perfect, holy way 27:42 Alleluia! O how the angels sang 27:48 Alleluia! How it rang! 27:53 And the sky was bright with a holy light 28:01 'Twas the birthday of a King 28:07 Alleluia! O how the angels sang 28:14 Alleluia! How it rang! 28:21 And the sky was bright with a holy light 28:29 Twas the birthday of a savior 28:37 Alleluia! Alleluia! 28:44 Twas the birthday of a King 29:00 Doesn't it sometime seem like 29:02 all the most interesting things happened long ago and far away. 29:06 You know, all the stories that happened once upon a time, 29:09 well the very best story in the whole world 29:12 really did happened long ago and far away. 29:14 But it's also happening now and you are part of it. 29:18 It all started when baby Jesus was born 29:21 and you guessed it, long ago. 29:23 Gaga is going to play a song called "Long Ago" 29:26 on her violin, let's listen. 33:18 I don't know about you boys and girls, 33:20 but I find it really hard to sleep at night 33:22 if it's not very, very quite. 33:25 You know, the Bible tells us about a silent night long ago. 33:28 But I have a feeling people weren't sleeping, 33:31 at least not all of them 33:32 because on that very silent night a baby was born. 33:36 And not just any baby, He was the king of the universe. 33:40 Listen as Zoei sings about a "Silent Night" 33:42 that probably wasn't very silent at all. 33:54 Silent night, holy night 34:01 All is calm, all is bright 34:08 Round yon virgin mother and Child 34:15 Holy Infant, so tender and mild 34:21 Sleep in heavenly peace 34:28 Sleep in heavenly peace 34:35 Silent night, holy night 34:42 Wondrous star, lend thy light 34:49 With the angels let us sing Alleluia to our King 35:02 Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born 35:19 Still, still, still You can hear the falling snow 35:25 For all is hushed The world is sleeping 35:28 Holy Star its vigil keeping Sleep, sleep, sleep 35:34 'Tis the eve of the Baby's birth. 35:36 Dream, dream, dream Of the joyous days to come 35:41 While guardian angels without number 35:44 Watch you as you sweetly slumber. 35:48 Those are some of the beautiful words, 35:50 to the lullaby the Chung family is going to play for us now. 35:54 It reminds us to think of that beautiful night 35:56 of the perfect baby Jesus 35:58 and of our future in heaven with Him someday soon. 38:54 I love watching people's expression 38:56 when they open a gift or when something surprises them. 38:59 Their eyes open really wide 39:01 and their faces shine with wonder. 39:03 I imagine that's what the faces of the shepherds 39:05 and wise men must have looked like 39:07 when they discovered the baby Jesus in a manger 39:09 and declared what child is this? 39:13 Let's listen as Brian sings this beautiful song for us right now. 39:25 What child is this, who laid to rest 39:33 On Mary's lap is sleeping? 39:40 Whom angels greet with anthems sweet 39:48 While shepherds watch are keeping? 39:56 This, this is Christ the King 40:03 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 40:10 Haste, haste to bring him laud 40:17 The babe, the son of Mary 40:25 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh 40:33 Come, peasant, king, to own him 40:40 The King of king's salvation brings 40:48 Let loving hearts enthrone him 40:56 This, this is Christ the King 41:03 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 41:10 This, this is to bring him Lord 41:18 The Babe, the Son of Mary 41:25 The Babe, the Son of Mary 41:38 I love stories about angels, don't you? 41:40 And I can't wait to meet the angels 41:42 when Jesus comes back and takes us to heaven someday. 41:45 I wish I could have heard the angel's singing 41:47 to the shepherds on the night that Jesus is born. 41:49 It must have been amazing to here 41:51 so many perfect voices filling the night sky 41:54 and someday I want to hear angel's sing on high, 41:57 just like they did that night long ago. 42:00 In the mean time, let's listen to 42:01 the Metropolitan Symphony Steelpan Orchestra play 42:05 "Angels We Have Heard on High." 43:46 One of my favorite holiday songs is about 43:48 that very special night when Christ was born. 43:51 Some people call it a holy night 43:53 because the holy God of the universe 43:56 came down from heaven and was born 43:58 here on this earth as a human baby. 44:00 He did that to show us just how much He loves us 44:03 and He came to save us from a world 44:06 full of sorrow and tears and sadness. 44:09 Alessandra is going to sing 44:10 that beautiful song for us right now, "O Holy Night." 44:28 O holy night, the stars are brightly shining 44:35 It is the night of the dear Savior's birth 44:43 Long lay the world in sin and error pining 44:50 'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth 44:56 Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we 45:03 Let all within us praise his Holy name 45:10 Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever 45:24 His power and glory ever more proclaim 45:36 His power and glory ever more proclaim 45:54 O night, O night divine. 46:06 I love holidays, don't you? 46:08 I especially like cuddling up 46:10 in a nice soft chair with a cozy blanket 46:13 and just think about things especially happy things. 46:16 I have lots of wonderful memories to think about. 46:19 Sometimes I think about places I visited 46:21 and all the fun things that I have done there. 46:23 Our next song is about a special place 46:25 that all the world remembers. 46:27 It's about the little town of Bethlehem where Jesus was born. 46:31 You may never been there boys and girls, 46:33 but I invite you to think about Bethlehem 46:35 as we listen to this beautiful song. 46:37 "O little town of Bethlehem." 47:41 Can you imagine boys and girls, 47:43 how Mary must have felt when she found out 47:45 that she was chosen to be 47:47 the earthly mother of a heavenly baby. 47:50 I know how excited I was to be a young mother 47:52 and I was just as excited to become a grandmother. 47:55 But only heaven knows how Mary felt 47:58 when the angel told her that she would be 48:01 the mother of God's Son on earth. 48:03 What an amazing honor. 48:05 Do you think she knew all 48:06 that she would face in the years to come? 48:08 Probably not, but God was with her every step of the way. 48:13 Jeharna is going to sing about Mary 48:15 in our next song "Mary Did You Know?" 48:32 Mary, did you know 48:36 That your Baby Boy would one day walk on water? 48:45 Mary, did you know 48:49 That your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters? 48:58 Did you know that you're Baby Boy 49:04 who one day make you new? 49:10 This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you 49:20 Mary, did you know 49:23 That your Baby Boy would give sight to a blind man? 49:31 Mary, did you know 49:35 That your Baby Boy would calm the storm with His hand? 49:43 Did you know that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod? 49:54 When you kiss your little Baby You kissed the face of God? 50:04 Mary, did you know 50:15 Mary, did you know 50:18 That your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation? 50:25 Mary, did you know 50:28 That your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations? 50:36 Did you know that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? 50:47 The sleeping Child you are holding is the Great, I Am 50:57 Mary, did you know? 51:09 Mary, did you know? 51:30 Do you know what it means to worship something? 51:32 It means to love something so much 51:34 that you think it's more important than anything else. 51:37 People worship all kinds of things 51:38 and most of them aren't that important at all. 51:40 But the Bible tells us that only God our Creator 51:43 and King is worthy of worship. 51:46 He is more important than anyone 51:47 or anything else in the whole world 51:49 because He made us and He loves us. 51:52 That's what our next song is about. 51:54 Listen as Isabel and Wen-Ting play "Worship the King." 54:58 You probably heard the saying, 54:59 all good things must come to an end. 55:02 And that's true in the lot of things in life, 55:04 including celebrations. 55:06 My prayer is that someday soon 55:08 we will all celebrate together in heaven 55:11 and that celebration will never come to an end 55:14 like good things here on earth do. 55:16 I can't wait for that, boys and girls. 55:18 Keep praying for that day and don't forget to ask Jesus 55:21 into your heart and life every morning when you wake up 55:24 and remember that even though we celebrate Jesus' birth 55:27 in a very special way just once each year, 55:29 you can celebrate what it means to you every day of your life. 55:33 Remember, boys and girls, its Kid's Time to praise Jesus. |
