Song: Hope Was Born This Night by Sidewalk Prophets
It is amazing to think that a young Child born in a manger can bring so much hope and joy. People all over the world get to hear the wonderful news during this Christmas Holiday. May we share with those around us! We have a lot of reasons to sing His praises!
Tonight I can see a star shine
And its splendor fills up the sky
It’s the same that appeared
And the wise men revered
When hope was born this night
Out upon the snowy fields
There’s a silent peace that heals
And it echoes the grace of our Savior’s embrace
Because hope was born this nightGlory to God in the highest
Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward men
Let all of the world sing the chorus of joy
Because hope was born this nightI can hear the Christmas bells ringing
As softly a church choir sings
It’s the song used to praise
The ancient of days
When hope was born this night
There are angles in this place
And my hear resounded the praise
Like a shepherd so scared
I’ll rejoice and declare
That hope was born this nightSong: Christmas Offering by Casting Crowns
The Christmas Season brings up a lot of memories. I remember as a little kid my Grandma Willa going through the Christmas story on her flannel bulletin board. Seeing the star over Bethlehem, the animals, baby Jesus, and the gifts the wise men brought to this precious Child. May God accept the offering that we give to Him this Christmas Holiday.
Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wisemen seeking truth, they traveled from afar
Hoping to find the Child from Heaven falling on their knees
They bow before the humble Prince of peaceWe bring an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to YouThe sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of Heaven, it’s only by Your blood
It’s only through Your mercy, Lord I comeSong: “I Need a Silent Night” by Amy Grant
After a busy week of celebrations this song came to my mind. Sometimes we get so “wrapped” up in all the activities we don’t take the extra time to truly enjoy the reason for the Christmas season. In the chaos of the season’s activities take a some time to spend in quiet reflection.
