Silent night, a very peaceful song


Silent Night : Lyrics

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

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "


Silent night (saxophone version)




God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings


God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen : Lyrics

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel,
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

"Fear not then," said the Angel,
"Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind:
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The Son of God to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His Mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy



Joy to the World


Joy to the World
Christmas Carol Lyrics

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.



All I want for Christmas is You

- Personal experience

I have received some response from local forummers. They requested me to write some personal experience as a Christian. By next week, I will write and post up my personal experience of walking along the journey in order to find my Lord. Amen!

- The Passion of Christ (Part3)

- We Are The Reason

Christmas is coming. Are you ready to celebrate? Let us sing Christmas song and Gospels together and praise the Lord. For those who don't have anyone to celebrate with, you are always welcome to join and celebrate at your nearest Church. We always welcome you. Below is a very meaningful song that I found from another Christian blog i.e. We Are The Reason.

- Beware Of Open Doors

Philipians 1:8-11

Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
-Proverbs 15:21

Sometimes Christians follow an "open door" policy. When a door of opportunity opens, they assume that it's God's will to go through it.

Bestselling author Terri Blackstock knows this is untrue. She never openly rebelled against God, but she found herself far away from Him after walking through open doors of opportunity. "I had allowed myself to believe that God was blessing my career...because He had opened all the doors," she wrote in Soul Restoration. Although she got what she wanted- a successful career writing romance novels for Harlequin and Silhouete- she lost what she needed: a close relationship with God.

When she finally admitted that her career was keeping her from God, she turned her back on success and renewed her commitment to the Lord. Since then her writing career has been revitalized, and she has become an award- winning author of Christian fiction.

Just because the Lord doesn't stop us from something, doesn't mean He wants us to continue. To discern which opportunities to pursue, we need to "approve the things that are excellent" and to be "filled with the fruits of righteousness...to the glory and praise the God" (Phil. 1:10-11). -Julie Ackerman Link

When you're making a decision,
Evil sometimes wears a mask,
Trust the Lord for true discernment-
He'll give wisdom if you ask. -Hess

The best way to know God's will is to say "I will" to God.

Here is a great video to share with you all. I will add the new episode here from time to time. Anyway, those who want to watch the whole episodes can watch in YouTube. Amen!!!

- Designed By God

READ:
Romans 12:3-8

---

We have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function.
-Romans 12:4

---

Bison are made in such a way that their natural inclination is to look down; the design of their necks makes it difficult for them to look up. In contrast, giraffes are designed in a way their necks were made makes it difficult for them to look down. Two creatures created by the same God but with distintively different body parts and purposes. Giraffes eat leaves from branches above. Bison eat grass from the field below. God provides food for both and neither has to become like the other to eat.

As we observe the animals and people around us, we're reminded that God made each of us unique for a purpose. One person's natural tendency is to look up and see the "big picture", while another looks down and focuses on details. Both are important. One is not better than the other. God gave us individual talents and spiritual gifts so that we can work together as a body.

Human beings are the crowning jewel of creation, and we shine the brightest not when we see our own likeness reflected in others but when each of us performs the unique functions that God designed for us to do. "Having then gifts differing according to grace that is given to us, let us use them" (Rom. 12:6). -Julie Ackerman Link

By God's wise designing
We are wonderfully made,
Every part essential
And in perfect balance laid. -Anom

There are no unimportant members in the body of Christ.
