00:10 Hi, I'm Tim Parton with 3ABN's Praise and Music Network.
00:14 Wishing you a very Merry Christmas season.
00:16 You probably know how much I love music,
00:19 especially this time of the year.
00:21 So I want to introduce to you my very special friends
00:24 from West Tennessee, Endless Highway.
00:27 They are family group,
00:28 comprised of Jason and Vanessa Griggs
00:30 and their two children Jay and Allison.
00:32 And I'm so glad they could join us
00:34 to share their blend of southern
00:36 and bluegrass gospel music
00:38 with family harmony and soul stirring songs
00:40 that will lift your spirit,
00:42 make you smile,
00:43 and make you want to shout hallelujah.
00:45 So sit back for a while,
00:47 worship our Savior Jesus Christ,
00:48 and be encouraged by the wonderful music
00:51 of Endless Highway.
01:06 Happy holiday, happy holiday
01:13 While the merry bells keep ringing
01:16 May your every wish come true
01:21 Happy holiday, happy holiday
01:27 May the calendar keep bringing
01:30 Happy holidays to you
01:39 Sleigh bells ring
01:41 Are you listening
01:43 In the lane
01:44 Snow is glistening
01:46 A beautiful sight
01:48 We're happy tonight
01:49 Walking in a winter wonderland
01:52 Gone away is the bluebird
01:55 Here to stay is the new bird
01:59 He sings a love song
02:00 As we go along
02:02 Walking in a winter wonderland
02:05 In the meadow we can build a snowman
02:08 And pretend that he's a circus clown
02:11 We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
02:14 Until the other kiddies knock him down!
02:17 Send him what gift
02:18 When it snows, ain't it thrilling!
02:21 Tho' your nose gets a chilling
02:25 We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
02:29 Walkin' in a winter land of snow
02:32 Snow, snow, snow, snow
02:41 The weather outside is frightful
02:44 But the fire is so delightful
02:47 And since we've got no place to go
02:50 Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
02:54 It doesn't show signs of stopping
02:57 And I've brought some corn for popping
02:59 The lights are turned way down low
03:03 Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
03:06 When we finally kiss goodnight
03:09 How I'll hate going out in the storm
03:12 But if you really hold me tight
03:16 All the way home I'll be warm
03:19 The fire is slowly dying
03:22 But the family is still goodbye-ing
03:25 And since we've no place to go
03:28 Let it snow, let snow, let it snow
03:31 Happy holidays to you
03:34 May your every wish come true
03:37 May the calendar keep bringing
03:40 Happy holidays
03:44 To you
03:48 It's the most wonderful time
03:53 Of the year
04:02 God rest ye merry gentlemen
04:05 And nothing you dismay
04:07 Remember Christ our Savior
04:10 Was born on Christmas Day
04:12 To save us all from Satan's power
04:14 When we had gone astray
04:16 O tidings of comfort and joy
04:20 Comfort and joy
04:22 O tidings of comfort and joy
04:28 From God that is our Father
04:30 The blessed Angels came
04:33 Unto some certain Shepherds
04:35 With tidings of the same
04:37 That there was born in Bethlehem
04:40 The Son of God by name
04:42 Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
04:46 Comfort and joy
04:47 Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
04:54 In Bethlehem of Judah
04:56 This blessed babe was born
04:59 And laid within a manger
05:01 Upon this blessed morn
05:04 To which his mother Mary
05:06 Did nothing take in scorn
05:08 O tidings of comfort and joy
05:12 Comfort and joy
05:14 O tidings of comfort
05:18 And joy
05:26 Yeah, good job.
05:28 I'll tell you, we love singing acappella music.
05:31 We love singing those great old acappella hymns
05:34 of the Christmas season.
05:36 And I want you to listen to this song now.
05:37 This is a very special song, it's an old hymn,
05:40 and I ask one simple question
05:43 and the question is this, who is He?
05:45 But the question you should ask yourself today
05:48 is who is He to me,
05:50 because that's what really matters,
05:52 who is He?
05:56 Who is He in yonder stall
06:01 At whose feet the shepherds fall?
06:06 Who is He in deep distress
06:11 Fasting in the wilderness?
06:17 'Tis the Lord!
06:20 O wondrous story!
06:23 'Tis the Lord!
06:25 The King of glory!
06:28 At His feet we humbly fall
06:33 Crown Him!
06:35 Crown Him Lord of all!
06:41 Who is he the people bless
06:47 For His words of gentleness?
06:52 Who is he to whom they bring
06:57 All the sick and sorrowsings
07:02 'Tis the Lord!
07:04 O wondrous story!
07:07 'Tis the Lord!
07:10 The King of glory!
07:13 At His feet we humbly fall
07:18 Crown Him!
07:19 Crown Him Lord of all!
07:39 Lo! at midnight,
07:42 Who is He
07:45 Prays in dark Gethsemane?
07:52 Who is he on yonder tree
07:59 Dies in grief and agony?
08:10 Friends, this story really is true
08:13 that the God of heaven invaded time and space
08:16 to be born of a virgin birth,
08:18 to live a perfect sinless life on our behalf.
08:21 He was arrested, tried,
08:24 crucified on a cross on a hill called Golgotha.
08:26 And didn't they bury Him in a borrowed tomb?
08:29 But three days later,
08:30 He came out of that grave alive forevermore,
08:33 conquering death, hell, and the grave.
08:36 Who is he that from the grave
08:41 Comes to heal and help and save?
08:46 Who is he that from his throne
08:51 Rules thro' all the world alone?
08:57 'Tis the Lord!
09:01 O wondrous story!
09:04 'Tis the Lord!
09:06 The King of glory!
09:09 At His feet we humbly fall
09:15 Crown Him!
09:20 Crown Him!
09:25 Crown Him Lord
09:29 Of all!
09:34 Lord of all!
09:56 Christmas time's a comin'

10:00 Christmas time's a comin'
10:02 And I know I'm going home
10:06 Snowflakes are falling
10:08 My old home's a calling
10:10 Tall pines are humming
10:12 Christmas time's a coming
10:15 Can't you hear them bells ringing
10:16 Ringing joy, joy hear them singing
10:19 When it's snowing
10:20 I'll be going back to my country home

10:36 Christmas time's a comin'
10:38 Christmas time's a comin'
10:40 And I know I'm going home

11:11 Christmas time's a comin'
11:13 Christmas time's a comin'
11:15 Christmas time's a comin'
11:17 And I know I'm going home
11:21 White candles burning
11:23 My old heart's a yearning
11:25 For the folks at home
11:26 When Christmas time's a coming
11:29 Can't you hear them bells ringing
11:31 Ringing joy, joy hear them singing
11:34 When it's snowing
11:35 I'll be going back to my country home
11:40 Christmas time's a comin'
11:42 Christmas time's a comin'
11:44 Christmas time's a comin'
11:45 And I know I'm going home
11:49 Christmas time's a comin'
11:51 Christmas time's a comin'
11:53 Christmas time's a comin'
11:55 And I know I'm going home
12:10 Yeah!
12:12 Yeah, that's a lot of fun.
12:14 Good job, guys.
12:15 I love that song,
12:17 it reminds what country Christmas
12:18 is all about.
12:20 And I want us to reach back
12:21 and find an old song now and do.
12:23 Reminds me of my childhood.
12:25 When we're kids, you know, a lot of times, Christmas,
12:28 we think is all about gifts and presents
12:30 and hoping we get the gift we wanted.
12:33 But the older we get
12:35 the less Christmas is about gifts
12:37 and we realize Christmas truly is all about the Lord Jesus,
12:41 so you listen as this song spells out the word Christmas,
12:44 and for each letter of the songs
12:46 it tells us what Christmas really means.
12:56 When I was but a youngster
13:01 Christmas meant one thing
13:05 That I'd be getting lots of toys
13:10 That day
13:13 But I learned a whole lot different
13:17 When mother set me down
13:22 And taught me to spell Christmas
13:26 This way
13:31 C is for the Christ Child
13:35 Born upon this day
13:39 H is for Herald Angels
13:42 In the night
13:47 R means our redeemer
13:52 I means Israel
13:56 And S is for the star
13:59 That shone so bright
14:04 T is for three wise men
14:09 They who travelled far
14:13 M is for the manger
14:16 Where he lay
14:21 A is for all he stands for
14:25 S means shepherds came
14:29 And that's why
14:31 There's a Christmas Day
14:37 And that's why there's a Christmas Day
14:53 Yeah.
14:56 That's fun.
14:57 That tells us truly what Christmas is all about.
15:01 It's not about the gifts,
15:02 it's about the Lord Jesus Christ
15:04 and knowing Him in a personal way.
15:07 I'm going to get Allison
15:08 to come sing a song for you now.
15:11 It's called there's a new kid in town.
15:13 And I can just imagine
15:15 as the birth of Jesus was being rumored,
15:18 and people began to hear about this,
15:20 the noise that that was going on in that city.
15:24 And I can just imagine so you listen as Allison sings,
15:28 there's a new kid in town.
15:53 They're looking for the King
15:57 The new Messiah
16:02 They're following the star
16:06 Shining brighter
16:13 Old man won't you help us if you can
16:18 He shook his head
16:20 Then he pointed his hand
16:22 There's a new kid in town
16:26 And he's lying in a manger down the road
16:32 There's a new kid in town
16:37 But he's just another baby I suppose
16:43 Heaven knows
16:46 There's a new kid in town
16:49 Here in Bethlehem
16:56 I see you've traveled far
17:00 Bearing treasures
17:05 You say these gifts are for
17:09 The new King's pleasure
17:16 I've heard
17:18 That a King might come
17:21 But up 'til now there hasn't been one
17:26 But there's a new kid in town
17:30 And he's lying in a manger down the road
17:36 There's a new kid in town
17:40 But he's just another baby I suppose
17:46 Heaven knows
17:49 There's a new kid in town
17:53 Here in Bethlehem
18:00 There's a new kid in town
18:04 Here in Bethlehem.
18:20 For far too many, Christmas has been over commercialized
18:23 and it's become about the presents and the gifts.
18:28 But, friends, the greatest gift that has ever been given
18:31 was given about 2,000 years ago,
18:33 Emmanuel, God with us.
18:36 This year we need His presence for Christmas.
18:44 In the busy Christmas noise
18:49 All the lights, the bells, the toys
18:56 I have found
19:00 You are the only source
19:05 Of comfort
19:08 And joy
19:14 Lord I want your presence
19:21 For Christmas.
19:24 I want your presence
19:28 For Christmas
19:31 I long to feel
19:35 Your Spirit speaking peace
19:40 To my heart
19:47 Of all the gifts
19:50 I may receive
19:54 There's only one
19:58 I really need
20:02 And it's your presence
20:06 Your Presence
20:10 For Christmas
20:33 When the Holiday is through
20:38 And the year is fresh and new
20:45 What will linger
20:50 Are the moments spent
20:53 My Lord just worshipping you
21:02 Lord I want your presence
21:09 For Christmas
21:12 I want your presence
21:17 For Christmas
21:20 I long to feel
21:24 Your spirit speaking peace
21:29 to my heart
21:35 Of all the gifts
21:39 I may receive
21:42 There's only one
21:46 I really need
21:50 And it's your presence
21:55 Your presence
21:59 For Christmas
22:07 Breathe on me
22:13 Breathe on me
22:19 I want your presence
22:25 Your presence
22:30 For Christmas
22:55 Once there were three wise men
22:58 Who were following a star
23:01 Traveling to Bethlehem from eastern land so far
23:06 Where they heard about a birth there
23:09 An anointed Holy One
23:12 Born to be Messiah
23:14 God's only begotten Son
23:19 That little baby
23:21 He was born of a virgin
23:24 He was sent down to save us
23:27 And to bear every burden
23:29 He was God in the flesh
23:32 So let the hallelujahs ring
23:36 That little baby is the king
23:48 Well angels were descending
23:52 On that bright and starry night
23:55 Shepherds came to see that child
23:57 Beneath that star so bright
24:00 Would that baby in the manger
24:03 In that little Jewish town
24:06 One day will rule this universe
24:08 Creation will bow down
24:13 That little baby
24:15 He was born of a virgin
24:18 He was sent down to save us
24:20 And to bear every burden
24:23 He was God in the flesh
24:26 So let the hallelujahs ring
24:30 That little baby is the king
24:40 Well, that little baby
24:45 He was born of a virgin
24:48 He was sent down to save us
24:51 And to bear every burden
24:54 He was God in the flesh
24:56 So let the hallelujahs ring
25:00 That little baby is the king
25:05 He was God in the flesh
25:07 So let the hallelujahs ring
25:11 That little baby is the king
25:17 That little baby is the king
25:26 Yes!
25:27 Whoo!
25:33 Well, that little baby
25:38 He was born of a virgin
25:41 He was sent down to save us
25:43 And to bear every burden
25:46 He was God in the flesh
25:49 So let the hallelujahs ring
25:53 That little baby is the king
25:57 He was God in the flesh
25:59 So let the hallelujahs ring
26:04 That little baby is the king
26:09 That little baby is the king
26:18 Yes!
26:20 That baby has become the king.
26:22 That's right.
26:24 And I tell you, friends,
26:26 there's a lot of bad theology out there these days
26:29 and the world will tell us,
26:31 there's all these different roads to heaven.
26:34 You just choose the one that suits you
26:36 and your lifestyle,
26:37 and one day we're all just going to appear
26:39 in heaven together.
26:40 But, friend, the Word of God disagrees with that completely.
26:43 In John 14:6, Jesus said,
26:45 "I am the way, the truth, and the life.
26:49 No man comes to Me but by the Father."
26:51 The Book of Acts tells us
26:52 that there's none other name given under heaven
26:55 whereby men must be saved than the name of Jesus.
27:08 There is no Name
27:11 So sweet as Yours
27:15 There is no Name
27:18 More precious, My Lord
27:23 No name in heaven
27:26 Or on earth here below
27:30 Can set captives free
27:34 Or save a lost soul
27:39 There is no Name
27:43 I'd rather hear
27:47 I speak it with reverence
27:50 And I hold It so dear
27:54 I give You all honor
27:58 And all of the praise
28:02 You are worthy and I proclaim
28:08 Jesus,
28:10 There is no other Name!
28:21 I bless Your Name
28:24 In moments of rest
28:28 I bless Your Name
28:31 When I'm put to the test
28:36 Now and forever
28:39 My voice magnifies
28:43 My Savior, Redeemer:
28:47 Jesus Christ
28:52 There is no Name
28:56 I'd rather hear
29:00 I speak it with reverence
29:03 And I hold it so dear
29:07 I give You all honor
29:11 And all of the praise
29:15 You are worthy and I proclaim
29:21 Jesus, there is no other Name!
29:30 Wonderful Counselor
29:34 Everlasting Prince of Peace
29:38 Mighty God, Living Word
29:41 Lord of Lords
29:44 And King of Kings!
29:51 There is no Name
29:57 I'd rather hear
30:00 I speak it with reverence
30:04 And I hold it so dear
30:08 I give You all honor
30:11 And all of the praise
30:15 You are worthy and I proclaim
30:20 He's worthy today.
30:21 You are worthy
30:24 And I proclaim
30:29 You are worthy
30:31 And I proclaim
30:36 Jesus,
30:40 There is no other Name!
30:53 No other Name
31:18 Look who just checked
31:21 Into the barn, into the world
31:24 Into the hearts of the boys and girls
31:26 Never been a baby quite like Him
31:29 Look who just checked in!
31:33 Look who just checked
31:36 Into the barn, into the world
31:39 Into the hearts of the boys and girls
31:41 Never been a baby quite like Him
31:44 Look who just checked in!
31:48 He knew us in the garden
31:49 He brought us through the flood
31:51 He saw the sacrifice of the fire and the blood
31:54 Everybody thought he went away for a while
31:56 Till he came on down in the form of a child
31:59 Look who just checked
32:02 Into the barn, into the world
32:05 Into the hearts of the boys and girls
32:07 Never been a baby quite like Him
32:10 Look who just checked in!
32:18 He made us a promise a long time ago
32:21 The King is coming
32:22 And the world's gonna know
32:24 He reigns in glory in his home on high
32:26 He came down to take us to the sweet pine by
32:29 Look who just checked
32:32 Into the barn, into the world
32:34 Into the hearts of the boys and girls
32:37 Never been a baby quite like Him
32:40 Look who just checked in!
32:44 He's the Prince of peace
32:45 The King of kings
32:47 The Lord of the universe and every little thing
32:49 Emmanuel says time again
32:52 God is with us once again
32:56 Once again
32:59 Look who just checked
33:02 Into the barn, into the world
33:04 Into the hearts of the boys and girls
33:07 Never been a baby quite like Him
33:10 Look who just checked in!
33:14 Look who just checked
33:17 Into the barn, into the world
33:20 Into the hearts of the boys and girls
33:22 Never been a baby quite like Him
33:25 Look who just checked in!
33:28 Never been a baby quite like Him
33:30 Look who just checked in!
33:37 Check out who just checked in!
34:01 I believe that God is sovereign overall
34:08 And He alone
34:10 Is worthy of our praise
34:15 Father, Spirit, Son,
34:19 the Holy Three in One
34:22 He reigns no matter
34:25 What the world may say
34:30 Surely time has come for us
34:34 To take a stand
34:37 To hold to our convictions
34:40 Without shame
34:45 Opposers to the faith
34:49 Abound on every hand
34:52 So the Gospel must be fearlessly
34:56 Proclaimed
35:00 I believe that Jesus
35:03 Is the Holy Son of God
35:07 He came to earth
35:09 To live a perfect life
35:15 I believe He bled and died
35:19 Upon a cruel cross
35:22 And there He made
35:24 The greatest sacrifice
35:30 I believe He rose again
35:33 And that He lives today
35:37 And soon He's coming back
35:40 To earth again
35:45 More than just a creed
35:49 This is what I believe
35:53 Jesus is the only way
36:00 This is my Statement of Faith
36:15 I believe the Bible
36:18 Is the Word of God
36:23 Given to the world
36:25 To show the Way
36:30 No room for compromise
36:33 On His trustworthiness
36:37 Is here for us
36:39 To follow and obey
36:45 There are absolutes
36:48 That cannot be denied
36:52 And what is true
36:54 Forever shall remain
37:00 We made our choice to live
37:03 For Christ the Crucified
37:07 The Living One
37:09 Who is the only Way
37:15 I believe that Jesus
37:18 Is the Holy Son of God
37:22 He came to earth to live
37:25 A perfect life
37:30 I believe He bled and died
37:34 Upon a cruel cross
37:37 And there He made
37:39 The greatest sacrifice
37:45 I believe He rose again
37:49 And that He lives today
37:53 And soon He's coming back
37:55 To earth again
38:01 More than just a creed
38:04 This is what I believe
38:08 Jesus is the only way
38:15 This is my Statement of Faith
38:24 I believe there is one true God,
38:26 and Jesus Christ is His Holy Son
38:29 That he is the Living Word and that by Him and through Him
38:32 all things were made.
38:34 I believe He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
38:36 and born of a Virgin Mary.
38:38 He lived a sinless life, healed the sick,
38:41 gave sight to the blind,
38:42 and brought the dead back to life.
38:45 And I believe at the cross that Jesus,
38:47 God's sacrificial lamb
38:49 shedding His blood was crucified
38:51 as an atonement for the sin of all the world,
38:54 and whosoever believeth in Him will not perish,
38:57 but have everlasting life.
39:00 I believe in the resurrection that on the third day
39:03 He rose from the tomb,
39:04 conquering death, hell and the grave.
39:07 And today He sits at the right hand of the Father
39:10 and that because He lives we shall live also.
39:15 I believe in the church,
39:16 a harbor for souls where God is glorified,
39:20 saints are edified, grace is multiplied,
39:24 and mercy is magnified.
39:27 And I believe in the Holy Spirit
39:29 who lives within all who have been saved
39:31 by grace through faith.
39:33 You see He is our Friend, our Comforter, and our God.
39:37 And I believe that one day
39:39 Jesus will come again and claim His own,
39:43 and He will prove once and for all
39:45 that He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
39:51 Amen!
39:54 I believe he rose again
39:57 And that He lives today
40:01 And soon He's coming back
40:03 To earth again
40:09 More than just a creed
40:12 This is what I believe
40:16 Jesus is the only way
40:24 This is my Statement
40:31 of Faith
40:36 My Statement of Faith
41:07 Master, Redeemer
41:12 Savior of the world
41:17 Wonderful, Counselor
41:23 Bright Morning Star
41:31 Lily of the valley
41:36 Provider, and Friend
41:41 He was yesterday
41:43 He'll be tomorrow
41:46 The Beginning
41:49 And End
41:54 But the angel called Him
41:57 Jesus
42:03 Born of a virgin
42:10 Mary called Him
42:13 Jesus
42:18 But I call Him Lord
42:26 Jehovah, Messiah
42:32 Mighty God and King
42:37 Bread of Life
42:40 Lasting words of love
42:43 That I sing
42:49 Light and darkness
42:52 Door to heaven
42:55 My home in the sky
43:00 The Fountain of Living Water
43:06 That never shall run dry
43:13 But the angel called Him
43:17 Jesus
43:22 Born of a virgin
43:30 Mary called Him
43:33 Jesus
43:37 But I call Him
43:41 Lord
43:45 But the angel called Him
43:48 Jesus
43:54 Born of a virgin
44:02 Mary called Him
44:04 Jesus
44:09 But I call Him
44:12 Lord
44:18 Mary called Him
44:20 Jesus
44:25 But I call Him
44:31 Lord
44:33 Jehovah, Messiah
44:38 Jesus Lord
