Amen. 05:21 That's a difficult song to sing, 05:22 but it's a beautiful song and I had to sing it, Tim. 05:25 Joy, joy is what the season is about, 05:28 the fact that Christ has come to bring us joy. 05:31 Amen. 05:33 Could you imagine, you know, as I'm singing those lyrics 05:35 and the scenes playing out of my mind. 05:38 I can just see the Father and the Son 05:41 and all the angels gather there 05:42 in the heavenly realms and Jesus saying, 05:44 "Father, I'm gonna go down there, 05:45 I'm gonna die for my people. 05:47 I'm gonna live the life that they can't. 05:49 And I'm gonna show them the example 05:50 that they can be, 05:51 and just seeing that heavenly scene 05:53 in my mind as it says 05:54 that Jesus took of His crown and He laid it down, 05:57 and He came down into this world 05:58 and was roped in flesh. 06:00 The Bible says, 06:01 "He took not upon Himself the nature of angels 06:03 but our nature." 06:05 So that He can live exactly 06:06 and experience exactly what we experience 06:08 and I praise the Lord for that birth. 06:10 That's a blessing indeed. 06:31 They didn't own a house 06:34 No crib no toys were waiting 06:40 Still they had their love 06:43 For the child they were anticipating 06:49 He was born one winter night 06:53 On a road between two towns 06:58 They wrapped him up 07:00 So warm and tight and said 07:03 It looks like heaven's come down 07:09 There was a new star shining 07:13 In the sky up above 07:18 By its light that winter night 07:22 They found peace and perfect love 07:27 If we want to find it 07:32 I know we always will 07:37 'Cause that new star is shining for us still 07:51 He worried how to feed him 07:56 Simple trade was all they knew 08:00 It was hard enough to make ends meet 08:05 When they were only two 08:09 But the cold, the dark and the hunger 08:13 Couldn't take away their joy 08:18 And she knew that they would find a way 08:23 For that precious baby boy 08:29 There was a new star shining 08:33 In the sky up above 08:38 By its light that winter night 08:42 They found peace and perfect love 08:47 If we want to find it 08:52 I know we always will 08:57 'Cause that new star is shining 09:01 For us still 09:06 If we want to find it 09:10 I know we always will 09:17 'Cause that new star is shining 09:24 For us still 09:31 Yes, it is. 09:32 Amen. 09:38 Amen. 09:40 Amen. Praise the Lord. 09:41 A sweet, sweet song. I love that song. 09:42 You know, could you imagine having a baby in the barn. 09:46 No. 09:47 And it's just powerful but, you know, 09:50 Mary wasn't having just any normal baby, 09:53 she was having the Son of God. 09:56 That'd been a lot of pressure on her 09:58 to know that you're about to give birth 09:59 to the King of the universe. 10:01 We live in such a sterile society. 10:03 Right. 10:04 You know, when babies are born these days 10:06 especially in hospitals, it's like, 10:10 I can't imagine women 10:12 having accepted those conditions 10:14 back there in general, 10:16 but knowing what Mary knew, you're right, 10:19 this was not your ordinary child. 10:21 Amen. 10:22 This is a wonderful child. 10:24 A wonderful child, that's right. 10:26 So... Yeah. 10:27 I like that, wonderful Child. Let's sing it. 10:29 Okay. 10:41 Jesus, Jesus 10:47 Oh, what a wonderful child 10:53 Jesus, oh, Jesus 10:58 So lowly meek and mild 11:04 He brings new life, new hope 11:09 And He brings new joy 11:12 Oh, yes, He does 11:15 Won't you listen 11:18 to the angels sing 11:24 Glory, glory 11:29 Glory 11:33 To the new 11:38 Born King 11:47 Oh, yes I say 11:50 Jesus, oh, Jesus 11:54 Oh, what a wonderful child, yes 11:57 Jesus, oh, Jesus 12:01 So lowly meek and mild 12:04 New life, new hope 12:06 New joy He brings 12:08 Won't you listen to the angels sing 12:12 Glory, glory, glory 12:15 To the new born King, yes 12:18 He was herald by the angels 12:22 Born in a lowly manger 12:26 The Virgin Mary was His mother 12:30 And Joseph was His earthly father 12:33 Three wise men came from afar 12:37 They were guided by His shining star 12:41 To see King Jesus where He lay 12:45 In a manger filled with hay 12:48 Oh, Jesus, Jesus 12:53 Oh, what a wonderful child 12:56 Jesus, oh, Jesus 13:00 So lowly meek and mild 13:04 New life, new hope 13:06 New joy He brings 13:07 Won't you listen to the angels sing 13:12 Glory, glory, glory 13:19 To the new born King 13:21 Glory to the new 13:25 The new born King 13:39 What a wonderful child. 13:40 What a wonderful child. 13:42 Glory to His name. 13:43 Jesus probably didn't get many whipping growing up, 13:45 maybe He did, I don't know. 13:46 Well, He might have. 13:47 Well, the Bible doesn't say, 13:49 but He was a wonderful child indeed. 13:50 I probably wasn't so good, 13:52 a wonderful child to my parents, 13:53 but you know I love singing that song because... 13:55 That's for forgiveness is for, that's why He came. 13:57 Exactly. Absolutely, yeah. 13:58 We can be forgiven for our bad childhood. 14:00 Amen. 14:02 And you know, to think about it, 14:04 I mentioned this earlier the pressure that was on Mary 14:07 as the mother to raise God, 14:09 you know, to raise Jesus, 14:12 there must have been a lot of pressure 14:13 on her as a parent, 14:15 but, you know, 14:16 I think that we have enough insight in Scripture 14:18 to know that she was a faithful person. 14:21 She had been visited by the Angel Gabriel. 14:24 And he had told that everything's gonna be okay, 14:25 but you're gonna give birth to God's only Son. 14:29 And this next song we're gonna sing, 14:31 you're gonna sing and I'm gonna help you out 14:33 but, I love this next song, Tim, 14:35 because it was written I think, I know for a fact 14:38 that this song was inspired by God. 14:40 Because while a lot of people consider this a Christmas song, 14:44 it could be sung any time of the year 14:45 because even Christmas itself Christ mass, 14:49 it's all about Jesus. 14:50 And the writer of this song wrote the song, 14:52 Mary did you know 'cause he said, 14:54 if I could interview the mother of Jesus, 14:56 this would be the questions I would ask her, 14:57 did you really know this. 14:59 Did it really click with you 15:00 that you were holding God as a baby. 15:03 And it's just powerful to think that, 15:05 that God came to be a man to live like we are, 15:09 to live for us, and to show us 15:12 that we can have victory in this life, it's powerful. 15:15 And one of the other things I think is powerful about this 15:17 is that this song has been covered 15:18 by so many secular artists. 15:21 Right, yeah. 15:22 And, you know, they know 15:24 how to sing the secular Christmas songs 15:28 and some of those are great songs, 15:30 those are fun songs I love to sing them, 15:32 but this song to know that 15:34 this message is getting out to the world, 15:39 it's an amazing song, 15:40 Christ, He is our Savior and our God, 15:44 Mary did you know. 15:56 Mary did you know that your baby boy 16:02 One day walk on water? 16:06 Mary did you know that your baby boy 16:12 Would save our sons and daughters? 16:16 Did you know that your baby boy 16:21 Has come to make you new? 16:25 This child that you've delivered 16:30 Will soon deliver you 16:34 Mary did you know that your baby boy 16:41 Will give sight to a blind man? 16:45 Mary did you know that your baby boy 16:50 Will calm a storm with his hand? 16:54 Did you know that your baby boy 16:59 Has walked where angels trod? 17:03 And when you kiss your little baby 17:08 You've kissed the face of God 17:12 The blind will see 17:15 The deaf will hear 17:17 The dead will live again 17:21 The lame will leap 17:23 The dumb will speak 17:25 The praises of the lamb 17:44 Mary did you know that your baby boy 17:51 Is Lord of all creation? 17:55 Mary did you know that your baby boy 18:01 Would one day rule the nations? 18:04 Did you know that your baby boy 18:10 Is heaven's perfect lamb? 18:15 This sleeping child you're holding 18:20 Is the great 18:23 I am Powerful. 18:45 That's a powerful song. 18:48 Powerful indeed. 18:50 I'm gonna play a couple of songs here. 18:53 Let's hear it. 21:13 There you go. Praise the Lord. 21:15 I love those good old Christmas songs. 21:17 You know, it reminds me, Tim, as we're singing these songs 21:21 and, you know, we had this beautiful set here. 21:25 You know, a lot of people scoff at Christmas. 21:28 You know, 'cause lot of people have done some research 21:31 and yes, there are some pagan historical references 21:35 to some of the things that happens as we celebrate 21:37 in our western culture today but... 21:40 You know, I love Christmas, the time of the year 21:42 'cause while I don't celebrate it 21:44 in the modern western cultural type way, you know, 21:47 with all the pagan little additives 21:50 that some people scoff at, 21:51 but I love this time of the year 21:54 because it gives me an opportunity 21:55 to share Jesus with others. 21:56 Right. 21:58 People are more open and welcome 21:59 to listen to you about Jesus during this time. 22:02 And I love these songs 22:03 because it remind me of growing up as a child 22:07 when I was innocent of many of the things 22:09 that me and family practiced but still, 22:12 I had that instilled within me 22:13 that, you know, Christmas isn't about the gifts, 22:15 it's not about Santa Claus and snowman and reindeer, 22:18 and all those other things, but it's about Jesus. 22:20 Right. 22:21 And I just love singing about Christmas 22:24 and singing about Christ 22:25 'cause without His birth we wouldn't be here. 22:27 Right, right. 22:28 Yeah, Jesus truly is 22:30 and it never becomes strike to me 22:31 the reason for the season. 22:32 That's true. 22:34 So I love the fact that the Bible is, 22:38 it centers around that, I love when I open up 22:40 the center of the Bible falls to Matthew. 22:42 Right. 22:43 And maybe not quite the center 22:44 but, in essence the message, it opens up, 22:48 the gospels opened up with the fact 22:51 that Christ was born, He came to earth. 22:53 That's right. 22:54 And what a thing to celebrate, right? 22:56 I know, I know. So... 22:57 So I will always keep Christmas in my heart. 23:01 That's right. 23:02 So, and keep Jesus as the center. 23:04 It's truly is the most wonderful time 23:06 of the year, I believe. 23:07 I totally agree with that. We have that in common. 23:18 What Child is this 23:22 Who laid to rest 23:26 On Mary's lap 23:29 Is sleeping 23:32 Whom angels greet 23:36 With anthems sweet 23:39 While shepherds watch are keeping? 23:47 This, this is Christ the King 23:53 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 24:01 Haste, haste to bring Him laud 24:07 The Babe, the Son of Mary 25:04 Our God 25:06 Heaven cannot hold Him 25:12 Nor earth sustain 25:18 Heaven and earth shall flee away 25:25 When He comes to reign 25:31 In the bleak midwinter 25:37 A stable place sufficed 25:44 The Lord God Almighty 25:50 Jesus Christ 26:17 What can I gift Him 26:23 Poor as I am? 26:28 If I were a shepherd 26:33 I would bring a lamb 26:39 If I were a Wise Man 26:44 I would do my part 26:49 Yet what can I give Him 26:55 Give Him my heart 27:15 If I were 27:19 A Wise Man 27:24 I would do my part 27:31 Yet what can I give to Him 27:38 Give Him 27:43 My heart 28:00 Merry Christmas to you. 28:02 Merry Christmas, Brother. 28:03 God bless you. |
