Oh Come Let Us Adore Him

Yeah Lord we greet Thee.  

Born this Happy Morning

Jesus to Thee be all Glory given

On that night, on the hill in Bethlehem, for a band of humble shepherd, choirs of angels sang.

I hope my simple voice was raised that night with many more capable ones....

Oh come let us adore Him....Christ the Lord

Christ The Savior Is Born

Not much else to say other than that is there?

I love the following arrangement not just because its David.  We all know how I love my Archuleta!
haha


But for those who are members of my church...you might recognize a familiar melody at the end of the song.  Listen carefully.

Did you hear it.
"Come follow me. The Savior said"

A phrase from a frequently sung hymn.

 "Come, follow me," the Savior said.

Then let us in his footsteps tread,

For thus alone can we be one

With God's own loved, begotten Son.

 "Come, follow me," a simple phrase,

Yet truth's sublime, effulgent rays

Are in these simple words combined

To urge, inspire the human mind.

Is it enough alone to know

That we must follow him below,

While trav'ling thru this vale of tears?

No, this extends to holier spheres.

Not only shall we emulate

His course while in this earthly state,

But when we're freed from present cares,

If with our Lord we would be heirs.

We must the onward path pursue

As wider fields expand to view,

And follow him unceasingly,

Whate'er our lot or sphere may be.

For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow'rs,

And glory great and bliss are ours,

If we, throughout eternity,

Obey his words, "Come, follow me."

The gift of His example is the best gift we could be given.  He has given us the path and shown us the way to true, unending happiness.

Rejoice, Rejoice

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs about Christ.

Not just for the beautifully haunting melody.
The poetic imagery of the lyrics is powerful.

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

And death's dark shadows put to flight.

Close the path to misery.

From depths of Hell Thy people save

And give them victory o'er the grave

How beautiful to consider.  

In life so often we are stuck in the gloomy clouds of night, the dark shadows that try to swallow us up.  

But through Jesus Christ we are given victory over all that saddens...all that threatens to destroy our happiness and joy.

He can save us...not just from the Hell they teach you about in Sunday School.  But from the personal hells that we all experience at one time or another in life.
