06 The Story of God and Man

01 Unto Us

02 One Solitary Life

That Wonderful Night

It was a wonderful night

in Bethlehem

Two thousand years ago

A very still night in the desert

Didn't rain, didn't snow

That the shepherds rested,

watching their flocks

That the promised

Messiah did come

To rescue mankind from himself

To cause the earth to hum

"Silent night,

Holy night

All is calm all is bright

Round 'yon virgin

mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace."

Not many people understood

What the shepherds

who saw the star

Knew in their hearts

was about to happen

Except those who came from afar

Some wise men, some astrologers

Who faithfully watched the sky

Appeared to know

from peering out

that coming by and by

Would be born a little king

who causes many now to sing

"What Child is this

who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet

with anthems sweet

While shepherd's watch are

keeping?

This, This is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard

and angels sing!

Haste, Haste to bring Him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary!"

And by and by we see a pair,

The man quite dark,

the woman fair

A virgin and her fiancé making

haste along the way

From the City of David

to the City of Hope

They have no clue that in the scope

Of God's great plan

the role they play

we know them even now today

As the earthly parents

of Jesus Christ

Mary and Joseph they were so nice

To carry into this cruel earth

The Savior, Christ;

to give Him birth

That we might see

the Master's plan

To redeem mankind,

redeem the land, so... "Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills, and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain, that

Jesus Christ is born"

Can you see it now,

how He caused a stir

This little lad, his face so pure

Would grow into a mighty man

Confronting death to create a clan

Of Mighty men, that's you and me,

He paid the price, he set us free

To enjoy a heaven here on earth,

To let us be of royal birth

To overcome our dreaded foe, To

give us love, to let us know

That Christ the Savior

is risen in me

The Christ in me is taking me,

and breaking me, and making me

A brand new creature,

born from above

A creature filled

with His great love

So celebrate this Christmas Day!

Have peace, have joy, begin to say

"God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Savior,

Was born on Christmas Day

To save us all from Satan's power

When we have gone astray

O tidings of comfort and Joy!

Comfort and joy!

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy!"

04 The Christmas Story

Christmas Music

Exodus 1:16-17 - And Pharaoh said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

Matthew 9:35 - And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Philippians 2:5-8 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
