What a beautiful song. 09:09 Beautiful. 09:11 I love that song and this is, of course, 09:13 Timothy Parton as we call him. I call him Timothy Wayne. 09:15 Little Timothy, it's kind of appropriate 09:17 at Christmas, isn't it? 09:18 Little Timothy. 09:20 I give in to you all, it's appropriate year around 09:21 because it's my name, number one. 09:22 But it is biblical 1 and 2 Timothy. 09:25 And tell us what it means? Timothy means honoring God. 09:27 That's right. 09:28 And you know, I was an ordinary baby too. 09:32 That's right, so was I. 09:33 And so were you. 09:34 And that's what's beautiful 09:36 about the fact that we serve a God 09:40 who dressed in humanity but on skin. 09:43 And as John says, 09:46 "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." 09:48 So you know, it was nothing, He was nothing great as a baby 09:53 except that He was the Son of God. 09:55 Son of God. 09:57 And in His humanity, He was able to become like us, 10:01 so that He could die for us and we could become like Him. 10:04 That's right. Oh, my goodness. 10:06 That's the beautiful thing. 10:07 And can you imagine, 10:08 think back to that first Christmas. 10:10 It was just an ordinary day. 10:12 They thought an ordinary baby had been born. 10:15 But can you imagine the nine months before? 10:17 Can you imagine the months leading up to that 10:19 how Mary must have felt? 10:20 She was just a young girl. 10:22 She was a young girl, like, 10:24 like, maybe you, like I was 10:26 with hopes and dreams 10:27 and how could she even imagine 10:30 that she would carry the Christ child, 10:33 and that she would do that willingly 10:36 knowing she could be ridiculed, 10:38 knowing that people would have no idea 10:39 because this had never happened 10:41 obviously before or never again. 10:43 How could she know what was about to happen? 10:58 Mary did you know 11:03 That your baby boy 11:07 Someday walk on water? 11:10 Mary did you know 11:14 That your baby boy 11:17 Would save our sons and daughters? 11:22 Did you know that your baby boy 11:29 Has come to make you new? 11:33 And this child that you've delivered 11:38 Will soon deliver you 11:43 Mary did you know that your baby boy 11:50 Will give sight to a blind man? 11:53 Mary did you know that your baby boy 11:59 Will calm a storm with his hand? 12:03 Did you know that your baby boy 12:09 Has walked where angels trod? 12:13 And when you kiss your little baby 12:18 You've kissed the face of God 12:21 Oh, Mary did you know 12:32 The blind will see 12:34 The deaf will hear 12:36 The dead will live again 12:40 The lame will leap 12:42 The dumb will speak 12:45 The praises of the lamb 12:55 Mary did you know 13:03 That your baby boy 13:07 He's the Lord of all creation? 13:12 Mary did you know that your baby boy 13:19 Would one day rule the nations? 13:23 Did you know that your baby boy 13:29 Is heaven's perfect lamb? 13:33 And this sleeping child you're holding 13:37 Is the great I am 13:52 Oh, Mary did you know 14:24 Hark how the bells sweet silver bells 14:26 All seem to say throw cares away 14:28 Christmas is here bringing good cheer 14:30 To young and old meek and the bold 14:32 Ding dong ding dong that is their song 14:34 With joyful ring all caroling 14:36 One seems to hear words of good cheer 14:38 From everywhere filling the air 14:40 Oh how they pound raising the sound 14:42 O'er hill and dale telling their tale 14:44 Gaily they ring while people sing 14:46 Songs of good cheer Christmas is here 14:49 Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas 14:51 On on they send on without end 14:53 Their joyful tone to every home 15:14 Gaily they ring while people sing 15:16 Songs of good cheer christmas is here. 15:18 Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas 15:22 On on they send on without end 15:24 Their joyful tone to every home 15:31 Ding dong ding dong 15:42 Yes!

Let's hear it. 16:59 When I'm worried 17:01 And I can't sleep 17:06 I count my blessings 17:09 Instead of sheep 17:15 And I fall fast asleep 17:21 Counting my blessings 17:30 And when my bankroll 17:33 Is gettin' small 17:36 I think of when 17:39 We had none at all 17:45 And I fall fast asleep 17:51 Counting my blessings 17:58 I think about a nursery 18:02 And I picture curly heads 18:05 And one by one I count them 18:08 As they slumber in their beds 18:19 So if you're worried 18:24 And you can't sleep 18:27 Just count your blessings instead of sheep 18:32 And you'll fall fast asleep 18:38 Counting your blessings 19:12 So if you're worried 19:16 And you can't sleep 19:19 Just count your blessings instead of sheep 19:25 And you'll fall fast asleep 19:33 Counting your blessings 20:06 Count your blessings. 20:11 I am so grateful and so thankful 20:14 for my family too, Tim, 20:16 and I have a 17 year old. 20:19 And yes, he is a teenager, 20:20 and many of you out there have those teenagers, 20:23 you might be a mom and dad of a teenager 20:24 or you might be grandmother, grandpa of a teenager. 20:28 Let me just tell you 20:30 that moms and dads need grandma and grandpa too 20:35 You are so needed in rearing the children 20:39 and helping our family so much you know. 20:42 And I'm so grateful that at Christmas, 20:44 our big family comes together, 20:46 and cousins and aunts and uncles and brothers, 20:51 even stinky old brothers. 20:52 I have two old brothers, 20:54 I look forward to seeing them 20:55 and being here and being with 20:57 and I'm just so... 20:58 And there is a song 20:59 that is so powerful to me, Ladye Love, 21:01 that you sing, Let There Be Peace. 21:04 And I just think 21:05 there's such a powerful, powerful message. 21:08 I love it because we have a lot of friends also 21:11 that are family to us all over the world. 21:14 And you know, I want peace for everyone. 21:18 And this is such a universal promise 21:22 and the thing that we want for everyone, especially now. 21:35 Let there be peace on earth 21:42 And let it begin with me 21:48 Let there be peace on earth 21:54 The peace that was meant to be 22:01 With God as our Father 22:07 Brothers all are we 22:14 Let me walk with my brother 22:20 In perfect harmony 22:28 Let peace begin with me 22:33 Let this be the moment now 22:40 With every step I take 22:45 Let this be my solemn vow 22:52 To take each moment 22:55 And live each moment 22:58 In peace eternally 23:05 Let there be peace on earth 23:11 And let it begin 23:18 With me 23:32 Oh, that's so beautiful. 23:33 And, Ladye, there's another song 23:35 that I would love for you to just sing, 23:36 maybe just a chorus of, 23:38 I know you're not necessary prepared for it. 23:40 But I remember Sandi Patty. 23:43 This is a big song that she used to sing. 23:45 But the message is amazing 23:46 and I don't know exactly who wrote the lyric, 23:48 might have been Mr. John Moore maybe 23:50 but, love in any language. 23:52 Could you sing just a bit of that just... 23:53 Yes. 23:54 And for all the people watching in Russia 23:56 and all these countries 23:57 and I'm about to sing your language, 23:59 don't laugh because it's not accurate. 24:00 But it's for you and it says like this... 24:03 Je t'aime Te amo Aishiteru 24:11 Ani ohevet othka 24:15 I love you 24:17 The sounds are all as different 24:20 As the lands from which they came 24:24 And though our worlds are all unique 24:27 Our hearts are still the same 24:33 Love in any language 24:36 Straight from the heart 24:39 Pulls us all together, never apart 24:46 And once we learn to speak it 24:50 All the world will hear 24:53 Love in any language 24:57 Fluently spoken here 25:02 There's another song I love, 25:04 especially right now in this time 25:06 in our country and in the world. 25:08 And you know, it doesn't matter how old we are, 25:11 we have wishes 25:12 and we hope for the world and for our children. 25:15 And I like to sing this last song. 25:27 Do you remember me 25:31 I sat upon your knee 25:35 I wrote to you with childhood fantasies 25:42 Well, I'm all grown up now 25:46 And still I need help somehow 25:50 I'm not a child 25:52 But my heart still can dream 25:59 So here's my lifelong wish 26:03 My grown up Christmas list 26:07 Not for myself 26:09 But for a world in need 26:15 No more lives torn apart 26:20 That wars would never start 26:24 And time would heal all hearts 26:29 And everyone would have a friend 26:35 And right would always win 26:39 And love would never end 26:45 This is my grown up Christmas list 26:56 As children we believe 27:00 The greatest sight to see 27:04 Was something lovely Wrapped beneath the tree 27:12 Well, heavens truly knows 27:16 That packages and bows 27:20 Can never heal 27:22 A hurting human soul 27:28 No more lives torn apart 27:33 That wars would never start 27:38 And time would heal all hearts 27:43 And everyone would have a friend 27:49 And right would always win 27:53 And love would never end 28:00 This is my grown up Christmas list 28:04 This is my only lifelong wish 28:08 This is my grown up 28:11 Christmas list |
