God bless you. 04:41 I've known you a long time, both of you. 04:44 We've been looking forward to this evening. 04:46 Just getting a chance to hang out together 04:47 and share this music. 04:49 Getting the call from the one. 04:50 Wow, I'm ready, I'm ready. 04:52 Now they call you 04:54 the 'Bing Crosby of Gospel Music.' 04:55 Why do they do that? 04:57 I think it's because they wanna tease me. 04:59 I think that's just the idea. You know, I'm a big target. 05:02 But I don't know, it's just the low voice, 05:04 I guess. 05:05 And they desire and the croon-ability 05:07 that the voice... 05:09 Croon-ability, that's a new word. 05:10 Sort of gravitates towards so... 05:11 You're crazy. Yes. 05:13 Well, tonight... 05:14 John, what will you be singing for us tonight? 05:17 Well, Christmas is a time of year that... 05:20 For me, you really get to celebrate family, 05:24 you know, in addition to all the things 05:26 that Christmas means. 05:27 Man, I had a daughter, you know this, 05:29 I had a daughter that was born Christmas Eve. 05:31 So Christmas is really a big family time for us. 05:34 So I just wanna share some songs 05:37 that help us make the connection 05:39 between the gift of family and the gift of the Savior. 05:42 Yeah. Yes. 05:43 You know, do a few songs that talk about that, tonight. 05:45 Do you double up on the gifts? 05:48 For the daughter that is... 05:49 Well, you know, we tried to train her early. 05:53 It's okay, these are my Christmas... 05:54 These are Christmas and these are, yeah, 05:56 we try to lower the expectations. 05:57 So we'll see what happens. 05:59 I think that's starting to wear off 06:00 as she's getting older. 06:02 She'll be 12 this year and I think that... 06:04 I don't think it's gonna last much longer. 06:05 Longer. 06:07 She's gonna come over and, yeah. 06:08 So what songs are you gonna do? 06:09 So I'm singing a song called, 'Only on Christmas day', 06:13 that starts all talking about, you know, 06:16 my grandmother in the kitchen... 06:17 Oh, wow. 06:18 And, yeah, those great Christmas meals, 06:20 you know, and then there's another song... 06:21 That song you wrote her... 06:23 That is the song that I wrote with a dear friend of mine 06:24 named, Hallerin Hill. 06:25 Oh, yeah. Wonderful songwriter. 06:27 Yes. 06:28 And the second song I did write, 06:30 it's a song called, 'Loved from a Star'... 06:31 Yeah. 06:33 That just really celebrates this idea of, 06:35 when you think of how far away God was from us 06:39 and He spanned that gap, I mean, 06:41 He decided that, man, I'm gonna come and meet you 06:44 where you are and what would we have done, 06:47 you know, where would we be if He hadn't done that, 06:50 if He hadn't taken the initiative 06:52 to reach out for us 06:54 when we weren't in a position to help ourselves, you know, 06:57 and then I'm gonna end with a great, 06:59 just Christmas song, 'Angels We Have Heard On High.' 07:01 Yeah. 07:02 I think Christmas isn't Christmas 07:04 without those old favorites that you grew up with... 07:05 That's right. 07:06 Those old hymns, there's nothing like it. 07:08 Yeah. 07:10 That's right, and how about you, Steve, 07:11 what you're gonna sing for us tonight? 07:13 Well, I'm so happy to be doing one of my favorite songs, 07:14 it's been part of my repertoire for many years and it's 'Mary, 07:17 did you know' and I love that song so much 07:20 'cause when I sing and I think about my mom. 07:24 When we think about Christmas, 07:25 there's an awful lot of subject matter there 07:27 and we can think about, you know, 07:29 the wise men and the shepherds and Herod and whatever, 07:33 but, you know, Mary was there. 07:34 Yeah. 07:36 You know, what did she go through? 07:37 But not only that night, but watching everything else 07:40 and being a parent now and now a grandparent 07:44 and having some issues in our family 07:46 with both of my children that are quite serious. 07:50 You realize, 07:52 what it must be for God to look down on us 07:55 and wish the best for us and know in some cases, 07:58 He can't intervene 08:00 because of the laws of this great controversy. 08:03 But Mary was there and she was seeing those things 08:07 and being hurt and it just reminds me of my mom. 08:09 My mom raised three boys, all by herself. 08:13 When I was seven, 08:14 our dad put us in a car and said, you know, be gone. 08:19 And so there were some tough times and there is, 08:23 Christmas time is the time where we focus on family too 08:26 and for me, it's a focus and it does focus on family 08:29 but it doesn't necessarily find a Norman Rockwell painting, 08:34 when it comes in to view and our... 08:37 My early life was certainly one of a lot of hardship 08:41 and financial stress, 08:43 my mom working two jobs and whatever, so... 08:47 'Mary, did you know' helps me connect to the good women 08:52 that have made the holiday season 08:54 what it's all about and then it all began in Bethlehem. 08:58 I love that concept because to me, 09:00 Bethlehem is not those beautifully decorated scenes 09:03 in front of the banks and the churches. 09:06 It's a place of filth and sort of, 09:09 a failed beginning. 09:10 I mean, just think 09:12 what Jesus' birth could have been, 09:13 if people were prepared and had read the prophecies 09:16 and they awaited His arrival, you know, but 'no, 09:20 ' He was born in a place as synonymous with filth. 09:23 But look what He made of His life 09:25 and so when I realize that God began in Bethlehem, 09:28 I realize that He can take anyone, 09:30 who will let Christ be born in their heart, 09:33 then all of a sudden, 09:34 that manger or that heart takes on a whole new meaning. 09:39 I mean, I've seen crystals of that little manger, 09:42 you know, in gold pieces 09:44 and in paintings worth 09:45 a hundreds of thousands of dollars. 09:47 What changed? 09:49 Jesus... 09:50 Came in. 09:52 And so those are the songs you're gonna be doing tonight? 09:54 And then the final song is, 'An evening in December'. 09:58 Okay, well, out of all other songs 10:00 that I'm gonna be doing, I think, 10:02 the one that stands out for me 10:03 is a song that asks the question, 10:07 that really every Christmas, 10:10 we all get a chance to answer. 10:13 'Is the King who was born in a manger, 10:18 Lord of your heart?' 10:22 That's why Jesus came to earth. 10:25 He came to be Lord of our hearts. 10:31 And so as you listen to the music tonight, 10:33 I hope that you're inspired, uplifted and blessed. 10:38 I hope this will warm your Christmas cheer 10:42 and that you feel 10:43 that this is the most wonderful evening 10:45 you've spent at Christmas. 11:23 As I wait here in this evening in December 11:29 I remember how it felt to be a child 11:36 This old house still feels the same 11:40 All the family will be here 11:43 In just a while 11:50 I hope daddy gets here first 11:53 To build the fire 11:56 'Cause he's the only one who has That special touch 12:03 Then my sister with her kids 12:07 And my grandma 12:09 Whom I love So very much 12:16 Oh, I'm glad we'll be together 12:20 On this evening in December 12:24 We'll watch the falling snow 12:28 And hold each other close I'm so glad we'll be together 12:34 For an evening to remember 12:38 On this night 12:41 On this December night 12:59 Sometimes out on the road It gets so lonely 13:07 'Cause I miss those special people I hold dear 13:13 Though our calendars are full 13:16 At least for this one night 13:21 We'll all be here 13:27 How the children love This evening in December 13:33 And while the smallest ones Are playing on the floor 13:40 There's a warmth I can't explain 13:44 As I feel the love of those 13:47 Who've gone before 13:53 Oh, I'm glad we're be together 13:57 On this evening in December 14:01 We'll watch the falling snow 14:04 And hold each other close 14:07 I'm so glad we'll be together 14:11 For an evening to remember 14:15 On this night 14:17 On this December 14:23 Night 14:29 Keep the fire burning here 14:37 Until we all come back 14:41 Next year 14:46 And I'm glad we're here together 14:50 On this evening in December 14:54 We'll watch the falling snow 14:57 And hold each other close 15:00 I'm so glad we're here together 15:04 For an evening to remember 15:08 On this night 15:11 On this December 15:19 Night 16:07 There's a star in the east 16:11 On Christmas morn 16:15 Rise up, shepherd, and follow

pain and tragedy 22:13 Still there shines a star of hope 22:17 Inside of you and me 22:24 If we could just be blinded 22:28 By what tears us all apart 22:32 We could see beyond the outside 22:37 And look straight into the heart 22:42 For what Christmas means 22:44 Is more than just some tinsel on a tree 22:52 Long ago, on Christmas eve love was born for me 23:00 'Cause you were in heaven 23:04
