00:38 I have traveled many moonless nights,
00:47 cold and weary with a Babe inside.
00:56 And I wonder what I've done,
01:05 Holy Father, You have come
01:12 and chosen me now to carry Your Son.
01:27 I am waiting in a silent prayer,
01:36 I am frightened by the load I bear.
01:45 In a world as cold as stone
01:53 must I walk this path alone?
02:01 Be with me now, be with me now.
02:12 Breath of heaven, hold me together.
02:19 Be forever near me, breath of heaven.
02:28 Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness.
02:35 Pour over me Your holiness,
02:39 for You are holy,
02:45 breath of heaven.
02:55 Do You wonder, as You watch my face,
03:04 if a wiser one should have had my place?
03:12 But I offer all I am
03:21 for the mercy of Your plan.
03:28 Be with me now, and help me be.
03:36 Help me be strong.
03:43 Breath of heaven, hold me together.
03:50 Be forever near me, breath of heaven.
03:58 Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness.
04:06 Pour over me Your holiness,
04:10 for You are holy.
04:17 Breath of heaven, hold me together.
04:24 Be forever near me, breath of heaven.
04:32 Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness.
04:40 Pour over me Your holiness,
04:44 for You are holy,
04:50 breath of heaven.
04:57 Breath of heaven.
05:03 Breath of heaven.
05:20 If there was any place that I would love to have been,
05:25 it would be on the night when the angels filled the skies
05:29 singing, "Glory to God in the highest.
05:32 And peace on earth, good will to men."
05:36 For the next hour, we have the privilege of singing
05:40 praises to our Lord and Savior,
05:44 like those angels did that night.
05:47 So I encourage you to join me in welcoming to 3ABN
05:51 Jared and Hillary Mitchell.
05:53 Dear friends of ours.
05:55 It is a privilege to have you here,
05:57 and your voices are lovely, you're beautiful people.
06:00 Lovely, wonderful family.
06:02 I follow you on Facebook and I love to watch
06:05 the pictures that you post of your children
06:08 and their growing up.
06:10 So just enjoy this time.
06:13 Our focus is totally on Jesus Christ,
06:16 for He is our Savior, and He is born and He lives,
06:21 and He is alive in us.
06:23 And I hope that you can say the same for you.
06:38 Everything inside me cries for order,
06:45 everything inside me wants to hide.
06:51 Is this shadow an angel or a warrior?
06:58 If God is pleased with me, why am I so terrified?
07:05 Someone tell me I am only dreaming.
07:12 Somehow help me see with heaven's eyes.
07:18 And before my head agrees, my heart is on its knees.
07:26 Holy is He. Blessed am I.
07:32 Be born in me.
07:39 Be born in me.
07:45 Trembling heart, somehow I believe
07:52 that You chose me.
07:58 I'll hold You in the beginning, You will hold me in the end.
08:05 Every moment in the middle make my heart Your Bethlehem.
08:11 Be born in me.
08:19 All this time we've waited for the promise.
08:25 All this time You've waited for my arms.
08:31 Did You wrap Yourself inside the unexpected
08:38 so we might know that love would go that far?
08:44 Be born in me.
08:51 Be born in me.
08:57 Trembling heart, somehow I believe
09:04 that You chose me.
09:10 I'll hold You in the beginning, You will hold me in the end.
09:16 Every moment in the middle make my heart Your Bethlehem.
09:23 Be born in me.
09:29 I am not brave; I'll never be.
09:36 The only thing my heart can offer is a vacancy.
09:43 And I'm just a girl, and nothing more,
09:50 but I am willing.
09:53 I am Yours.
10:10 Be born in me.
10:17 Be born in me.
10:23 I'll hold You in the beginning, You will hold me in the end.
10:29 Every moment in the middle make my heart Your Bethlehem.
10:36 Be born in me.
10:59 And I just think of how wonderful that every day
11:02 someone receives Christ.
11:06 That Jesus is born again in that believer's heart.
11:12 So I thank You, Jesus, for being born,
11:16 and being born again in everyone's heart
11:18 that receives You.
11:19 Thank You, Jesus.
11:35 This world will never be the same.
11:43 This world will never be the same.
11:49 According to the Eastern Star,
11:56 the newly born Messiah waits this way.
12:06 This world will never be the same.
12:12 This world will never be the same.
12:17 The Savior born is come at last.
12:23 The world we've know is past with yesterday.
12:32 Like a comet landing on the earth,
12:39 a Child has changed our universe.
12:47 Technicolor light breaking through the gray,
12:58 Like a comet landing on the earth,
13:05 Christ has changed our universe.
13:14 Finally human life lord's over the grave.
13:26 And my life will never be the same.
13:32 O my life will never be the same.
13:37 My lonesome soul's been reconciled.
13:43 The toil on my heart is washed away.
13:51 In a single word, in a single name,
13:58 God's full power is contained.
14:06 All in the name of Jesus.
14:17 This world will never be the same.
14:28 This world will never
14:34 be the same.
14:54 Sweet.
14:55 This world will never be the same.
14:57 What a great message. I love it.
15:00 When Christ comes into our life, nothing is the same.
15:04 No, we're changed forever.
15:05 That is a great, great song.
15:07 Thanks, Jared and Hillary Mitchell.
15:09 Where are you from?
15:11 We are from North City right here in southern Illinois.
15:14 Southern Illinois. Beautiful.
15:15 And you are leading worship at a church in the area?
15:20 Yes, worship pastor at The Roads Church.
15:23 And Hillary serves with us and sings,
15:27 and we love doing it together as a family.
15:30 Now our three-year-old has begun to sing
15:33 and he actually led worship with us for the first time
15:36 at our VBS type boot camp that we had.
15:40 - So it was really cool to see. ~ I love that.
15:42 Well, that's wonderful. What a great message.
15:45 Especially for this time of year to see the children singing.
15:49 Hopefully next time he can come and join us.
15:53 Both of them. You have a boy and a girl.
15:55 He's got close to perfect pitch, so I think he'd fit the bill.
15:59 ~ Oh, I sure he would do wonderfully.
16:01 So let's sing a little bit of, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.
16:12 O come, O come, Emmanuel,
16:21 and ransom captive Israel
16:29 that mourns in lonely exile here
16:37 until the Son of God appears.
16:46 Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
16:54 shall come to Thee, O Israel.
17:03 O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
17:12 our spirits by Thine advent here.
17:20 Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
17:29 and death's dark shadows put to flight.
17:37 Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
17:45 shall come to Thee, O Israel.
17:54 Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
18:02 shall come to Thee, O Israel.
18:15 O come, Desire of nations, bind
18:25 in one the hearts of all mankind.
18:34 Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,
18:43 and be Thyself our King of peace.
18:52 Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
19:00 shall come to Thee, O Israel.
19:09 Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
19:21 shall come to Thee, O Israel.
19:59 O little town of Bethlehem,
20:07 how still we see thee lie.
20:13 Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
20:20 the silent stars go by.
20:27 Yet in thy dark street shineth
20:33 the everlasting light.
20:40 The hopes and fears of all the years
20:47 are met in thee tonight.
21:03 O holy Child of Bethlehem
21:09 descend to us, we pray.
21:15 Cast out our sin and enter in;
21:22 be born in us today.
21:28 We hear the Christmas angels,
21:35 the great glad tidings tell.
21:41 O come to us, abide with us,
21:48 our Lord Emmanuel.
22:04 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
22:14 the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.
22:23 The stars in the sky look down where He lay;
22:32 the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
22:46 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
22:56 close by me forever and love me, I pray.
23:05 Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
23:14 and take us to heaven
23:20 to live with Thee there.
23:39 I love the traditional songs.
23:41 They're so great and wonderful.
23:44 Songwriting is such an amazing thing to me.
23:47 These songs have been sung year after year, after year.
23:52 It's just really an amazing testament the power of
23:56 words and melody.
23:58 So I hope you're singing along
24:01 on some of these songs, if you know them.
24:03 These are some new songs to me.
24:05 But those traditional ones are always fun.
24:07 This is a great, a great song.
24:13 Talking about Noel.
24:15 ~ Really just testifying of what He has done.
24:19 Not only coming to the earth, and living in us,
24:23 but the testimony of what He's done through our lives,
24:27 and what He's doing in your life.
24:29 Even in this moment, we don't know what you're walking
24:31 through, what you're facing.
24:33 But come, see what God has done.
24:36 He's just been with us.
24:38 We've seen some dark things.
24:40 I grew up with a single parent, and walked in some darkness,
24:47 and just maybe didn't have everything,
24:50 but God always provided.
24:52 He was always there.
24:53 Emmanuel; God with us.
24:56 He is with you. He is with you.
24:58 So, yeah, amazing song that Jared is going to lead out on.
25:02 Noel.
25:11 Love incarnate, love divine;
25:18 star and angels gave the sign.
25:26 Bow to Babe on bended knee;

25:46 He shall reign forever more.

26:32 Son of God, and Son of man;
26:38 there before the world began.
26:45 Born to suffer, born to save;
26:51 born to raise us from the grave.

28:45 Wow, what a great, great word.
28:49 Thanks for the difference He makes in our lives.
28:51 The change that He makes.
28:54 Powerful.
28:56 And we invite you all to sing, O Come All Ye Faithful.
29:17 O come all ye faithful,
29:22 joyful and triumphant.
29:28 O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.

29:44 born the King of angels.
29:49 O come let us adore Him,
29:55 O come let us adore him,

30:41 Glory to God,
30:47 glory in the highest.
30:52 O come let us adore Him,
30:57 O come let us adore Him,
31:02 O come let us adore Him,
31:09 Christ the Lord.
31:22 Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
31:28 born this happy morning.
31:33 Jesus, to Thee be all glory given.
31:46 Word of the Father,

33:06 Again, for all the things He has done,
33:09 all the things He has been.
33:11 Wow, He is a great, great God and a wonderful Savior.
33:16 Wonderful mighty Counselor, Prince of Peace.
33:19 Yeah, that's Him. That's Him.
33:22 And He can be that to you today
33:24 if you will just begin to adore Him and love on Him.
33:30 Yea, it's just, He's a wonderful Savior.
33:35 And by the way, thanks for letting me chime in.
33:40 I just wanted to know what it felt like to be a Mitchell.
33:42 I enjoyed the third part, thank you.
33:45 Christmas is all about singing around the piano,
33:48 to me, when I grew up in my singing family.
33:52 Yeah, we sang around the Spin It.
33:54 Just like they talk about in the song.
33:55 So three-part harmony. I love it.
33:59 ~ It's an honor to be with you, Tim.
34:00 - Wow, likewise. - It's such an honor.
34:02 - I appreciate it. - And a gift to us.
34:04 You are so young, so for me to be able to accompany you
34:08 is my Christmas gift.
34:11 ~ I just turned 30, so keep coming
34:14 with the young compliments.
34:15 I'm like, yes.
34:16 I am young, Lord.
34:18 Okay, well whatever.
34:20 We're moving right along after that.
34:23 But you are young.
34:24 So tell us about, Light of the World, this next song.
34:30 Yeah, this song is giving glory to Jesus,
34:32 the Light of the world.
34:34 And you know, when Jesus came, He was the Light of the world.
34:37 But I love what He says,
34:39 now that we get to be the light of the world
34:42 because His light has shone into our hearts,
34:45 into our lives.
34:47 And now we get to be the light of the world.
34:49 So not only did Jesus come as the Light of the world,
34:52 to shine in the darkness, to bring hope,
34:55 but now we get to reflect His light in our lives
34:58 by giving glory to Jesus in all that we do.
35:01 And I believe that in this Christmas season
35:03 that God is going to use you to be a light in your family.
35:08 As you just give glory to Jesus and do all things unto Him,
35:12 and just love like He's loved us,
35:14 we can be the light of the world too.
35:35 The world waits for a miracle,
35:40 the heart longs for a little bit of hope.
35:43 Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel.
35:53 A child prays for peace on earth,
35:56 and she's calling out from a sea of hurt.
36:00 Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel.
36:09 And can you hear the angels singing?
36:18 Glory to the Light of the world.
36:26 Glory, the Light of the world is here.
36:39 The drought breaks with the tears of a mother;
36:43 a baby's cry is the sound of love.
36:46 Come down, come down, Emmanuel.
36:55 He is the song for the suffering.
36:58 He is Messiah.
37:00 The Prince of Peace has come.
37:03 He has come, Emmanuel.
37:10 Glory to the Light of the world.
37:17 Glory to the Light of the world.
37:25 Glory to the Light of the world.
37:33 Glory to the Light of the world.
37:40 For all who wait, for all who hunger,
37:47 for all who've prayed, for all who wonder.
37:55 Behold your King,
37:58 behold Messiah.
38:02 Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
38:11 Glory to the Light of the world.
38:19 Glory to the Light of the world.
38:27 Glory to the Light of the world.
38:33 Behold your King.
38:37 behold Messiah.
38:41 Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
38:53 The world waits for a miracle,
38:57 the heart longs for a little bit of hope.
39:01 Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel.
39:12 He is here, He is with us.
39:14 He has come.
39:15 Yes, I love that.
39:17 I love the, rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel has come to us.
39:23 Yeah, so that's sweet.
39:25 I love the relationship that when the angel came to Mary,
39:31 the angel introduced Christ to Mary.
39:35 And then Mary went to her cousin Elizabeth
39:39 and introduced Jesus to Elizabeth.
39:45 And John, the Bible says that John leapt inside of Elizabeth,
39:50 who was also a miracle situation; the child.
39:54 And so then I can only imagine that Jesus and John,
39:59 I like to think that they probably grew up together,
40:02 enjoying each other's birthday parties,
40:05 and just the fun of being cousins.
40:09 And then I love the introduction that John gives
40:15 to Jesus, "Behold, the Lamb of God
40:18 who takes away the sin of the world."
40:21 So I hope that this year you are able to, if you know Christ,
40:31 you are able to introduce someone to Jesus.
40:36 And make that introduction, "Behold, the Lamb of God
40:39 who takes away the sin of the world."
40:40 What a greater...
40:42 There is no greater gift than to take away
40:46 the sin of the world.
40:48 That's what Jesus, that was His gift to us.
40:51 So I'm grateful for Him being the Light of the world,
40:55 the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
40:59 And God so loved the world that He gave us Jesus.
41:03 So I just, I love that.
41:08 So let's sing about God with us.
41:12 It's the perfect Emmanuel, right?
41:13 It's right. So, okay.
41:26 You've come to bring peace,
41:30 to be love, to be nearer to us.
41:36 You've come to bring light,
41:40 to be light, to shine brighter in us.
41:45 Oh, Emmanuel;
41:51 God with us.
41:58 Our Deliverer, You are Savior.
42:03 In Your presence we find our strength.
42:08 Over everything, our redemption;
42:14 God with us.
42:18 You are God with us.
42:34 You've come to be hope
42:39 to this world, for Your honor and name.
42:44 You've come to take sin,
42:49 to bear shame and to conquer the grave.
42:54 Oh, Emmanuel;
43:00 God with us.
43:05 Our Deliverer, You are Savior.
43:10 In Your presence we find our strength.
43:15 Over everything, our redemption;
43:20 God with us.
43:24 You are God with us.
43:40 You are here, You are holy.
43:45 We are standing in Your glory.
43:51 You are here, You are holy.
43:56 We are standing in Your glory.
44:01 You are here, You are holy.
44:06 We are standing in Your glory.
44:11 You are here, You are holy.
44:16 We are standing in Your glory, Lord.
44:26 Our Deliverer, You are Savior.
44:31 In Your presence we find our strength.
44:36 Over everything, our redemption;
44:41 God with us.
44:46 Our Deliverer, You are Savior.
44:51 In Your presence we find our strength.
44:56 Over everything, our redemption;
45:00 God with us.
45:05 You are God with us.
45:10 You are God with us.
45:25 I love that He's with us
45:28 right now in this moment.
45:30 Wherever we're at, He's with us always.
45:33 And when He's with us, there's things that come with that.
45:37 Peace, joy.
45:40 All the things that we need are found in Jesus.
45:44 So when we have that realization that He's with us
45:46 and we begin to set our affections and set our hearts
45:50 on Emmanuel, God with us, I believe we will begin to
45:55 experience the peace that passes all understanding.
45:59 The joy that is our strength.
46:02 So this Christmas season, I believe our families,
46:06 our world, really needs the peace of God.
46:12 And we're going to declare this song, this last song
46:15 with you guys, Prince of Peace, that's who Jesus is.
46:19 He's the Prince of Peace.
46:21 And so, all that we need is truly found
46:24 in the presence of almighty God.
46:28 So as we sing this song, I invite you
46:31 to set your heart, to set your affection,
46:35 to set your mind on Christ
46:38 and allow Him to fill your home, allow Him to fill your life,
46:42 your family, with His peace, with His joy, with His love.
46:48 He is the Prince of Peace.
46:50 Thank You, Jesus.
47:09 Unto us, a Child is born
47:14 and unto us, a Son is given.
47:19 What Child is this? Born as the King of all kings.
47:28 The weight of sin upon His shoulders,
47:33 paid the price to grant us wholeness.
47:38 What Child is this? Born as the King of all kings.
47:48 O, Prince of Peace,
47:54 be enthroned forevermore.
48:06 O, Prince of Peace,
48:13 be enthroned forevermore.
48:24 Darkness flees, radiance conquers;
48:29 captives free, yokes are shattered.
48:34 What Child is this? You are the King of all kings.
48:43 Grace invades upon Your order;
48:48 mighty God has won us over.
48:52 What Child is this? You are the King of all kings.
49:00 O, and we say, O, Prince of Peace,
49:08 be enthroned forevermore.
49:20 O, Prince of Peace,
49:26 be enthroned forevermore.
49:38 You draw us in Your wonder
49:42 as we lay our burdens down.
49:47 You call us sons and daughters;
49:51 we're no longer orphans now.
49:56 You have overcome the darkness
50:01 by the power of Your great love.
50:05 Now we rest in Your dominion;
50:10 come and have Your way in us.
50:15 You draw us in Your wonder

52:54 Jared, would you just pray for the people at home.
52:58 Then let's go into, Speak the Name of Jesus.
53:04 Jesus, we thank You for the opportunity
53:08 to be children of the Most High King.
53:12 That we are Your sons and your daughters.
53:15 So, God, I pray that during this Christmas season
53:18 we would remember You, what You've done for us.
53:23 That You came as a baby, lived Your life in the flesh,
53:31 perfectly, and died for us so that we could live.
53:37 So, God, I pray that we would realize that we are
53:40 children of God.
53:42 That we have access to Your presence,
53:46 that You are with us.
53:48 And that when we call on Your name,
53:51 we will be saved.
53:53 So, Jesus, we acknowledge You this Christmas season
53:58 as the beautiful Savior, the wonderful Counselor,
54:04 mighty God, Price of Peace, everlasting Father.
54:09 We give You all the glory, and the honor, and the praise
54:13 that is due Your name.
54:17 In the name of Jesus, amen.
54:43 I just want to speak the name of Jesus
54:50 over every heart and every mind,
54:58 because I know there is peace within Your presence.
55:04 I speak Jesus.
55:12 I just want to speak the name of Jesus
55:19 over fear and all anxiety,
55:26 to every soul held captive by depression.
55:32 I speak Jesus.
55:39 Because Your name is power,
55:42 Your name is healing,
55:46 Your name is life.
55:52 Break every stronghold,
55:56 shine through the shadows,
55:59 burn like a fire.
56:03 Your name is power.
56:06 Because Your name is power,
56:10 Your name is healing,
56:13 Your name is life.
56:20 Break every stronghold,
56:23 shine through the shadows,
56:26 burn like a fire.
56:34 Shout Jesus from the mountains,
56:38 and Jesus in the streets,
56:41 Jesus in the darkness, over every enemy.
56:48 Jesus for my family,
56:51 I speak the holy name.
56:55 Jesus.
57:01 Shout Jesus from the mountains,
57:05 and Jesus in the streets,
57:08 Jesus in the darkness, over every enemy.

57:27 Because Your name is power,
57:30 Your name is healing,
57:34 Your name is life.
57:39 Yes, it is.
57:41 Break every stronghold,
57:44 shine through the shadows,
57:48 burn like a fire.
