"Welcome To Our World"

Listen to "Welcome to Our World" sung by Chris Rice

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking:eyes, tears, heart
How we need to hear from God: ears
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make Yourself at home
Please make Yourself at home

Bring Your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled: hungry, souls
Word now breaking Heaven's silence: ear
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us: fingers
Tender brow prepared for thorn: brow
Tiny heart whose blood will save us: heart, blood
Unto us is born
Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around You: skin
Breathe our air and walk our sod: breath
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world

Newborn King Nesting: December 20, 2013

Nativity Night

Here are two night time lullaby-ish Christmas carols: "Silent Night" & "O Little Town of Bethlehem" sung by Nat King Cole.

Focus on words of calm, peace, & stillness.

Talk about the color blue which represents mellow & quiet.

Hear are some blue tinted nativity pictures:

There are some beautiful examples and illustrations of night time and its happenings in Night's Nice by Barbara & Ed Emberley:

Luke 2:14 talks about Jesus coming as being peace on earth and good will towards people.

The contrast of Jesus being the bright light on that dark night is found in these lyrics from our two songs above:
 
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright 

Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
