" 09:54 After all, the shepherds wanted to stay with Jesus 09:57 but they had to leave 09:59 and let the new family sleep that silent night. 10:01 Perhaps you can sing along with John Harley, Kenly and Nia 10:05 as they sing: Silent night. 10:06 Piano... 10:20 Silent night! 10:24 holy night! 10:28 All is calm, 10:33 all is bright 10:38 Round yon Virgin 10:43 mother and Child, 10:48 Holy Infant so tender and mild, 10:57 Sleep in heavenly peace, 11:07 sleep in heavenly peace 11:16 Piano... 11:23 Silent night! 11:27 holy night! 11:32 Shepherds quake 11:37 at the sight, 11:41 glories stream from heaven afar, 11:51 heavenly hosts sing Alleluia; 12:00 Christ, the Savior is born, 12:10 Christ, the Savior is born. 12:19 Piano... 12:34 Silent night! 12:38 holy night! 12:43 Son of God, 12:48 love's pure light, 12:52 Radiant beams from Thy holy face, 13:02 With the dawn of redeeming grace, 13:11 Jesus, 13:14 Lord, at Thy birth 13:21 Jesus, 13:25 Lord, at Thy 13:29 birth. 13:35 Pause... 13:41 All the way back to the fields, I can only imagine the 13:44 pictures in the minds of the shepherds. 13:46 How happy they were to see the face of Jesus the Lord 13:49 even at His birth. 13:51 It must have been some time that passed 13:53 before another group of people came. 13:56 Their job was to know all about Science, Math and History 13:59 which led them to study the words of the Bible. 14:02 Even though they didn't come from a Christian nation. 14:05 they had studied the stars and knew that that star 14:09 had to mean: the Savior of the world had been born 14:11 as prophesied. 14:13 The wisest thing they ever did 14:16 was to search for the promised Messiah. 14:18 Can you imagine their shock when they arrived? 14:21 They must have asked, "What child is this? 14:23 What king would come in the humblest way?" 14:26 Pause... 14:28 Piano... 14:42 What child is this, 14:45 who, laid to rest, 14:47 On Mary's lap is sleeping? 14:54 Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet, 14:59 While shepherds watch are keeping? 15:06 This, this is Christ the King, 15:11 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; 15:18 Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, 15:23 The Babe, the Son of Mary. 15:30 Music... 15:33 Why lies He in such mean estate 15:38 Where ox and donkeys are feeding? 15:44 Good Christians, fear: for sinners here 15:50 The silent Word still pleading. 15:57 Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, 16:02 The cross He bore for me, for you. 16:08 Hail, hail the Word made flesh, 16:14 The Babe, the Son of Mary. 16:22 So bring Him incense, 16:27 gold and myrrh, 16:29 Come peasant, king to own Him; 16:35 The King of kings salvation brings, 16:41 Let all... let us enthrone Him. 16:48 Raise, raise a song on high, 16:53 The Virgin sings her lullaby. 17:00 Joy, joy for Christ is born, 17:05 The Babe, the Son of Mary. 17:14 Music... 17:15 This... this is Christ the King 17:20 Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing; 17:26 Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, 17:33 The Babe, the Son of Mary. 17:39 Music... 17:41 What child is this who, laid to rest 17:47 On Mary's lap 17:53 is sleeping? 17:58 Pause... 18:04 We really don't know how many wise men they were 18:06 but we do know that they had three gifts. 18:09 They were so happy to share their gifts of Gold, 18:11 Frankincense and Myrrh with this humble family. 18:15 They too wanted to join to join the angels 18:16 from the realms of glory 18:18 to worship Christ the newborn King. 18:20 How about you? 18:22 Will you come and worship Christ the newborn King? 18:25 I hope you enjoy this next musical piece 18:27 by Joshua, Michael and Amy 18:29 as they play: Angels from the Realms of Glory. 18:32 Pause... 18:36 Angels from the realms of glory, 18:39 Wing your flight o'er all the earth; 18:43 Ye who sang creation's story 18:47 Now proclaim Messiah's birth. 18:51 Come and worship, come and worship, 18:54 Worship Christ, the newborn King. 18:59 Shepherds, in the field abiding, 19:03 Watching o'er your flocks by night, 19:06 God with us is now residing; 19:10 Yonder shines the infant light: 19:14 God with us is now residing; 19:17 Yonder shines the infant light. 19:24 Thank you for that beautiful music. 19:26 Let me tell you a story about Raul. 19:29 Raul was walking home from delivering some food 19:32 to a neighbor 19:33 when he saw an old man hunched over 19:35 with an old leather bag that looked disgusting on his back 19:38 heading toward the house he had just left from. 19:41 He noticed five boys heading to the man. 19:43 One of them yanked the knitted hat off of the old man. 19:46 "Where are you going?" they teased 19:48 tossing the hat over him to each other. 19:50 "Oh, what's in that bag? Did you leave anything for us?" 19:53 the boys teased some more. 19:55 It wasn't until a neighbor opened the door 19:58 that the boys scurried out 19:59 and the old man knocked on the door 20:01 Raul had just come from. 20:03 Later that night, Raul was ashamed of himself. 20:06 He couldn't sleep... 20:08 "Why didn't I even try to help that old man? 20:10 After all, he didn't do anything wrong. " 20:12 The next day was Christmas Eve 20:15 and many people were having special suppers 20:18 with their families. 20:19 Raul was outside bringing some firewood into the house 20:22 when he heard footsteps in the distance. 20:25 It was difficult to see through all the snow 20:27 that had fallen that night sky 20:29 but the shape looked like that old man 20:32 he had seen the day before 20:33 carrying his old bag 20:35 and likely smelly bag over his shoulders. 20:38 This time the bag seemed heavier than before 20:42 and he was heading toward the rickety bridge. 20:45 "Where is that old man going?" Raul thought to himself. 20:47 "No one lives there in the woods. " 20:49 At least, Raul didn't think so. 20:51 It only leads to the woods. 20:53 By now, Raul was curious 20:55 yet, he decided he'd better head into the house 20:58 to help prepare the fire. 21:00 All evening Raul couldn't sleep 21:03 because he couldn't stop thinking about that old man. 21:06 He kept tossing and turning. 21:08 Eventually, he decided he'd better head into the outhouse. 21:11 While he headed to the outhouse, 21:14 he heard a man scream and he crashed. 21:16 This time, Raul couldn't see anything 21:18 but he decided he'd spring into action. 21:21 Raul ran over to the rickety old bridge 21:23 and there was the old man waist high in freezing water. 21:26 "Here, let me help you... " said Raul 21:29 lying over the ice to lend a helping hand. 21:31 There was no doubt this man was cold 21:34 but his bag seemed empty. 21:36 "What's your name?" Asked Raul. 21:38 "France de ba... " 21:39 "You mean, the one and only France de ba... 21:41 the one that owns the tapestry?" 21:43 That started the conversation 21:46 and Raul insisted that Mr. De ba come into the house to get warm. 21:50 Raul had learned that Mr. de ba had been giving gifts 21:53 to the less fortunate for ten years or more. 21:56 "Why do you do this especially when it's dangerous 22:00 like it was tonight?" asked Raul. 22:02 "Well, there are some children that just won't have anything 22:05 for Christmas if I don't bring them something... 22:07 but more than anything that gifts can't provide, 22:11 I want to bring joy into their lives 22:13 but the joy doesn't come from these gifts, 22:16 it's more the fact that I pray for each family 22:18 and through the years, 22:20 I see how God answers my prayers. 22:21 When they no longer need me to come to their homes 22:25 to find that little bit of joy, 22:26 they see the joy that comes from knowing Jesus 22:29 and seeing their prayers answered 22:31 is the best gift I can enjoy seeing. " 22:34 So, you see, the best gift you can give others 22:38 is really your time 22:39 and most importantly, it's your prayers. 22:41 Are there people you can think of that can use your prayers? 22:45 I'm so glad that Jesus loves us so much 22:48 and was willing to come and save us. 22:50 Our next song was written by a friend of mine in Australia. 22:54 Reminds us that the most precious gift of all 22:57 is really the love of Jesus who came to save us all. 23:01 Pause... 23:03 Piano... 23:06 The most precious gift was given 23:10 The night that Christ was born 23:14 Savior of the world 23:18 Jesus came to save us all 23:22 He came as one of us 23:26 He came humbly without fuss 23:30 Laying in a manger 23:34 Was God's greatest gift of love 23:38 O glory to Jesus 23:43 Hallelujah... 23:46 O glory to Jesus 23:49 Was God's greatest gift of love 23:53 O glory to Jesus 23:58 Hallelujah... 24:01 O glory to Jesus 24:04 Was God's greatest gift of love. 24:09 The most precious gift was given 24:14 The night that Christ was born 24:17 Savior of the world 24:21 Jesus came to save us all 24:25 He came as one of us 24:29 He came humbly without fuss 24:33 Laying in a manger 24:37 Was God's greatest gift of love. 24:41 O glory to Jesus 24:45 Hallelujah... 24:48 O glory to Jesus 24:52 Was God's greatest gift of love 24:56 O glory to Jesus 25:00 Hallelujah... 25:04 O glory to Jesus 25:08 Was God's greatest gift of love... 25:15 Was God's greatest gift 25:18 of love. 25:25 Pause... 25:31 Once we realize the precious and humble gift of Jesus, 25:35 we can't be silent. 25:36 We want to tell everyone about the good news of Jesus 25:39 and that He has come to save everyone including you. 25:43 Will you help spread the good news? 25:45 Are you ready to tell what Jesus has done for you 25:48 and go tell it on the mountain? 25:50 Pause... 25:51 Piano... 26:00 Go, tell it on the mountain, 26:05 over the hills, and everywhere: 26:09 Go, tell it on the mountain 26:13 That Jesus Christ is born! 26:17 While shepherds kept their watching 26:21 O'er silent flocks by night, 26:25 Behold throughout the heavens 26:29 There shone a holy light. 26:35 Go, tell it on the mountain, 26:39 Over the hills, and everywhere: 26:43 Go, tell it on the mountain 26:47 That Jesus Christ is born! 26:51 The shepherds feared and trembled 26:55 When lo! Above the earth 26:59 Rang out the angel chorus 27:03 That hailed our Savior's birth. 27:08 Go, tell it on the mountain, 27:13 Over the hills, and eveywhere: 27:16 Go, tell it on the mountain, 27:20 That Jesus Christ is born! 27:24 Down in a lowly manger 27:29 The humble Christ was born, 27:33 And brought us God's salvation 27:37 That blessed Christmas morn. 27:43 Go tell it on the mountain, 27:47 Over the hills, and everywhere; 27:51 Go, tell it on the mountain 27:55 That Jesus Christ is born. 28:02 Gloria... 28:10 in Excelsis Deo! 28:14 Gloria... 28:20 in Exclesis Deo! |
