03:21 Hi, and welcome to a, Praise Him, Christmas.
03:23 We are here to celebrate. 03:25 I'm here with my friends Cheryl and Drew. 03:27 And we're going to have a wonderful time. 03:29 If you are a Christian, a believer, then 03:32 celebrating Christmas is kind of like a daily thing. 03:35 And it's wonderful to know that we serve a God 03:38 who is so big, so vast. 03:41 Throughout the Bible it talks about how that 03:44 God cannot reside in a building built by hands. 03:50 He's too big for that. 03:52 And the Bible also says that we can't escape from His presence. 03:55 Where can I flee from Your Spirit, O Lord? 03:59 And I love the fact that it says that God's throne 04:03 is in the heavens. 04:04 The heaven is His throne, the earth is His footstool. 04:07 So it reminds me of how majestic and awesome 04:12 this God is. 04:14 And I think it's only appropriate that we start 04:16 this celebration with just a song that talks about 04:19 how indescribable God really is. 04:22 So why don't you worship with us and just enjoy the 04:26 presence of God as we sing these songs. 04:40 From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea, 04:48 creations revealing Your majesty; 04:56 from the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring, 05:04 every creature unique in the song that it sings. 05:10 All exclaiming indescribable, uncontainable; 05:16 You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name. 05:23 You are amazing, God. 05:29 All-powerful, untamable; 05:33 awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim, 05:39 You are amazing, God. 05:44 Yes, You are. 05:50 Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go, 05:58 or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow. 06:07 Who imagined the sun and gives source to it light, 06:15 yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night. 06:20 None can fathom. 06:23 Indescribable, uncontainable; 06:27 You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name. 06:33 You are amazing, God. Oh, yes You are. 06:40 All-powerful, untamable; 06:44 awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim, 06:50 You are amazing, God. 06:54 Yes, You are. 06:56 Indescribable, uncontainable; 07:00 You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name. 07:06 You are amazing, God. Incomparable. 07:13 Incomparable, unchangeable; 07:17 You see the depths of my heart and you love me the same. 07:23 You are amazing, God. 07:29 Yes, You are. 07:31 You are amazing, God. 07:51 Wonderful, merciful Savior, 07:56 precious Redeemer and Friend;

21:47 the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 21:57 The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes. 22:05 But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. 22:13 I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky, 22:20 and stay by my side till the morning is nigh. 23:04 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay 23:12 close by me forever and love me, I pray. 23:20 Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, 23:27 and fit us for heaven to live with Thee there. 23:38 And fit us for heaven 23:42 to live with Thee there. 23:49 Oh, I love that sentiment, "fit us for heaven." 23:53 Not just take us to heaven, but fit us for heaven. 23:56 So to prepare us even now so we can be ready when He comes. 24:01 Thank you, Sandra. It was awesome. 24:03 I love being a part of a worldwide family of God. 24:07 And it's wonderful to tell this story that never grows old. 24:11 Every year we gather at Christmas time and we 24:14 re-tell the story, we read that section of Scripture. 24:17 And sometimes, you know, it becomes mundane to us, 24:22 because maybe it becomes over-familiar. 24:24 We think we know all the aspects of it. 24:26 I love pastors who will study and take time 24:28 to find some little intricacy. 24:31 But, you know, we live in a world that is 24:35 full of people who haven't heard yet, 24:38 or they haven't experienced the love of God 24:41 for themselves, a personal relationship. 24:43 And I pray that if you're watching and you don't know 24:47 Christ as your Savior, today is the day of salvation. 24:51 And I encourage you to reach out to Him, 24:53 call on His name, ask Him to save you, 24:56 to forgive you of your sin. 24:58 Live your life for Him. 25:00 And this song is all about that. 25:02 It's talking about a personal relationship. 25:05 I'm glad that I know who Jesus is. 25:07 I was born and raised in a Christian family. 25:10 So it's a wonderful privilege to know Him, to serve Him. 25:14 And again, this story does not grow old. 25:17 I'm not going to let it get mundane to me. 25:20 So let's sing, I'm Glad I Know Who Jesus Is. 25:32 In a little town called Bethlehem so many years ago, 25:40 they told him there was no room in the inn. 25:48 But they had no way of knowing who they had turned away. 25:56 It was the Lamb of God who would take away their sins. 26:04 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 26:12 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 26:20 He's more than just a story; He is the King of glory. 26:28 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 26:44 So many people still today, they don't know who Jesus is. 26:52 They've never felt His peace within their soul. 27:00 But I want my life to show them how His love can set them free. 27:08 He's the only one who can cleanse and make men whole. 27:16 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 27:24 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 27:32 He's more than just a story; He is the King of glory. 27:40 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 27:48 He's the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. 27:55 He's the Counselor, Deliver to me. 28:03 He's the Everlasting Father, He is the King of Glory. 28:13 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 28:20 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 28:28 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 28:36 He's more than just a story; He is the King of glory. 28:45 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 28:53 I'm glad I know who Jesus is. 29:05 Amen. 29:06 Yes, glad I know who He is. 29:25 One glorious night 29:31 when love crossed over 29:37 and cast aside 29:42 both crown and throne 29:47 to live beside 29:53 the common man, 29:58 as was foretold; 30:04 the promised One. 30:14 And there He lay 30:19 in humble straw 30:25 as angels sing, 30:29 "Good will to all." 30:35 A gift from God 30:39 to reconcile 30:44 all men to Him, 30:49 this perfect Child. 30:56 Behold I bring you tidings, 31:01 tidings of great joy. 31:05 The world has found its answer 31:10 in a Child that's born 31:14 on this night, 31:19 on this night. 31:24 Behold I bring you tidings, 31:29 tidings of great joy. 31:34 The world has found its answer 31:38 in a Child that's born 31:42 on this night. 31:53 Behold this day 31:58 a Savior's born; 32:03 and in whose fate 32:07 this world has longed. 32:11 Conceived in faith, 32:16 revealed in love; 32:21 come kneel beside 32:28 this Child of God. 32:49 The King of kings left His kingdom and entered into 32:53 our time and our space 32:59 on this miraculous rescue mission. 33:04 He knew the price, He knew the cost that He would pay. 33:09 And yet, because He loves the world loved the world, 33:13 He gave His only Son, God gave His only Son, 33:16 and Christ would come. 33:17 He left it all, all of heaven's glory. 33:24 There was glory all around Him, 33:33 angels worshiped at His feet. 33:42 They sang to Him, "Holy, holy," 33:51 and He reigned in majesty. 34:00 And then the Father spoke in sadness, 34:09 "My creation has been lost." 34:18 Jesus said, "I will redeem them. 34:26 I will go and pay the cost." 34:35 He left it all 34:41 to come to Calvary. 34:46 He left it all 34:51 to set us free. 34:55 He walked away 35:01 from heaven's splendor. 35:05 He left it all 35:10 to come to me. 35:16 How could I repay such mercy? 35:24 Oh what love He had for me. 35:33 Oh, for He left His throne for Golgotha 35:42 just to die upon a tree. 35:50 He left it all 35:55 to come to Calvary. 36:00 He left it all 36:04 to set us free. 36:09 He walked away 36:14 from heaven's splendor. 36:18 He left it all 36:23 to come to me. 36:27 He walked away 36:33 from heaven's splendor. 36:37 He left it all 36:42 to come to me. 36:47 He left it all to come to me. 36:58 Such a simple message. 36:59 So powerful. Amen. 37:01 Let's sing about some joy. 37:10 Joy to the world, the Lord is come. 37:16 Let earth receive its King. 37:23 Let every heart prepare Him room, 37:30 and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, 37:36 and heaven, and heaven and nature sing. 37:42 Now the Child who is King of kings; 37:45 sing of a love changing everything. 37:48 Lift up your voice, let your praises ring. 37:51 Let heaven and nature sing. 37:56 Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns. 38:03 Let all their songs employ. 38:09 While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains 38:16 repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, 38:23 repeat, repeat the sounding joy. 38:30 Sing of a Child who is King of kings, 38:33 sing of a love changing everything. 38:36 Lift up your voice, let your praises ring. 38:39 Let heaven and nature sing. 38:44 Sing, sing, sing, sing joy to the world. 38:51 Sing, sing, sing, sing joy to the world. 38:58 Sing, sing, sing, sing joy to the world. 39:04 Sing, sing, sing, sing joy to the world. 39:11 He rules the world with truth and grace, 39:17 and makes the nations prove 39:24 the glories of His righteousness, 39:30 and wonders of His love, and wonders of His love, 39:37 and wonders, wonders of His love. 39:45 Sing of a Child who is King of kings, 39:49 sing of a love changing everything. 39:52 Lift up your voice, let your praises ring. 39:55 Let heaven and nature sing. 39:59 Sing of a Child who is King of kings, 40:02 sing of a love changing everything. 40:05 Lift up your voice, let your praises ring. 40:08 Let heaven and nature sing. 40:13 Sing, sing, sing, sing joy to the world. 40:20 Sing, sing, sing, sing joy to the world. 40:27 Sing, sing, sing, sing. 40:34 Sing. Let the whole world sing. 40:37 In fact, let them hear them singing in Australia. 40:42 Go back to Sandra. 40:43 Sing some more for us, ladies. 40:45 We love it. 40:47 Hey, I don't know how you spent your Christmas growing up, 40:49 but I come from a big family. 40:52 But I don't have a whole bunch of memories 40:53 about, you know, big massive meals and lots of 40:57 gift opening on Christmas morning. 40:59 They are not my strong memories. 41:00 My strong memories are ministering to the needs of 41:05 people who were doing it tough at Christmas, 41:08 whether it's a mother with a bunch of foster kids 41:11 who, you know, she provides for them. 41:13 Or some elderly shut-in who's not able to 41:16 spend time with their family. 41:18 My mom believed in Matthew 25, where Jesus said, 41:21 "If you do it to the least of these, My brethren, 41:23 you've done it to Me." 41:25 And it's supposed to be acknowledging the 41:26 birth of Christ, but she said, "Well, it's Jesus we should 41:29 be giving the gifts to, not ourselves. 41:32 Not our wants, you know. What can we get." 41:34 So she would encourage us to think of others 41:36 at that time. 41:37 Which was just a beautiful thing that she, you know, 41:40 had the wisdom to instill in us. 41:43 We're going to sing, What Child is This? 41:47 I love this tune. I know you will too. 42:02 What Child is this who lay to rest 42:08 on Mary's lap is sleeping, 42:15 whom angels greet with anthems sweet 42:21 while shepherds watch are keeping? 42:28 This, this is Christ the King 42:33 whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 42:40 Haste, haste to bring Him laud, 42:46 the Babe, the Son of Mary. 42:52 Why lies He in such mean estate 42:58 where ox and ass are feeding? 43:04 Good Christian, fear; for sinners here 43:10 the silent Word is pleading. 43:17 This, this is Christ the King 43:23 whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 43:29 Haste, haste to bring Him laud, 43:35 the Babe, the Son of Mary. 43:47 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh; 43:53 come, peasant, king to own Him. 43:59 The King of kings salvation brings; 44:06 let loving hearts enthrone Him. 44:12 This, this is Christ the King 44:18 whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 44:25 Haste, haste to bring Him laud, 44:30 the Babe, the Son of Mary. 44:51 Oh, don't you love that? 44:54 What Child is this? Amazing. 44:58 We're going to end with a beautiful piece that I think 45:01 might be my favorite, unless the other two 45:03 are already my favorites. 45:04 This one is, Silent Night, Holy Night. 45:28 Silent night, holy night; 45:37 all is calm, all is bright. 45:45 Round yon virgin, mother and Child; 45:53 holy Infant so tender and mild. 46:01 Sleep in heavenly peace. 46:09 Sleep in heavenly peace. 46:18 Silent night, holy night; 46:26 darkness flies, all is light. 46:34 Shepherds hear the angels sing, 46:42 "Alleluia, hail the King." 46:50 Christ the Savior is born. 46:58 Christ the Savior is born. 47:07 Silent night, holy night; 47:15 Son of God, love's pure light. 47:24 Radiant beams from Thy holy face 47:32 with the dawn of redeeming grace, 47:40 Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. 47:49 Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. 47:57 Silent night, holy night; 48:06 wondrous star, lend thy light. 48:14 With the angels, let us sing 48:23 alleluia to our King. 48:31 Christ the Savior is born. 48:39 Christ the Savior is born. 48:56 Amen, amen. 48:59 Bye, thank you for having us. 49:15 Angels appeared unto shepherds 49:20 telling the news of His birth. 49:25 Glory to God in the highest, 49:30 God had come down to the earth. 49:35 Shepherds sought till they found Him 49:40 and wise men brought treasure and myrrh. 49:45 Surely one spoke to the others, 49:50 "We will never be what we once were." 49:56 Glory to God, glory to God in the highest. 50:06 Peace and goodwill, peace and goodwill be to men. 50:15 Emmanuel, Emmanuel has forgiven my sin. 50:26 Glory to God, I am not what I have been. 50:41 Oh how my heart well remembers 50:46 the first time I heard the sweet news 50:50 of this Jesus born of a virgin; 50:56 Carpenter, King of the Jews. 51:01 Though I was not with the shepherds, 51:05 and had less to bring than wise men, 51:10 I too have been changed since I met Him. 51:16 I am not what I have been. 51:21 Glory to God, glory to God in the highest. 51:31 Peace and goodwill, peace and goodwill be to men. 51:41 Emmanuel, Emmanuel has forgiven my sin. 51:51 Glory to God, I am not what I have been. 52:01 Emmanuel, Emmanuel has forgiven my sin. 52:10 Glory to God, I am not what I have been. 52:21 Glory to God, 52:24 I am not what I have been. 52:39 Amen. 52:40 Thank you, Drew and Cheryl, for being a part of this 52:43 Praise Him, Christmas. 52:45 And I thank you for watching. 52:47 And again, if you haven't experienced that change 52:50 that Christ alone can bring, I encourage you to 52:53 reach out to Him. 52:55 It will be the best Christmas gift ever. 52:56 And you can say, "Glory to God, 52:59 I am no longer what I have been." 53:02 So from all of us at 3ABN and Praise Him Music Network, 53:07 we wish you a very Merry Christmas. 53:09 And we just hope that God will be the center of 53:11 everything that you do. 53:13 God bless you. |
