Christmas and Christmas Songs are beautiful and even enchanting.

But what about when life is not so "Holly Jolly?"

Well, we still have songs of faith and one of those which is part of the birth of Jesus is Zechariah's song in Luke 1:67-79.

Zechariah and the Israelites had been waiting a long time for the Messiah - more than 400 years in fact.

We learn something from Zechariah and even more so from Jesus about what to do while we are waiting.
