🎶 "The Angels of Christmas" 🎶 A Song of Wonder and Praise Verse 1 In the stillness of the night, Under stars so pure and bright, Came a chorus from the skies, Heaven’s light before our eyes. Shepherds trembling on the hill, Hearts awakened, standing still — “Do not fear,” the angels sang, “Joy has come, let praises rang!” Chorus The angels of Christmas, singing above, Glory to God, proclaiming His love. Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, The Savior is born in Bethlehem. Lift up your voice, let your soul rejoice, With the angels of Christmas again. Verse 2 Wings of wonder, robes of white, Shining through the silent night. Heaven’s heralds, sent to say, God has made a holy way. From the manger to the cross, They watched the Lamb redeem the lost. Still they sing in skies so wide, Of hope and grace that will abide. Bridge Can you hear them in the breeze, In the rustling winter trees? Their song of peace still fills the air, A call to love, a call to care. Final Choru...

🎶 "Heaven's Gift" 🎶 A Christmas Song About Jesus Verse 1 On a silent night in Bethlehem, A star lit up the sky, Angels sang in harmony, A Savior born on high. Wrapped in love and swaddling cloth, The King of kings lay low, Hope had come to dwell with us, In manger's gentle glow. Chorus Hallelujah, Heaven’s gift, Peace and mercy now uplift. Born to save, born to shine, Jesus, holy and divine. Let every heart prepare Him room, Let every soul rejoice and sing — The Light has come, the world redeemed, By Jesus Christ, our newborn King. Verse 2 Shepherds heard the angel’s voice, “Go see the Child so fair,” Wise men followed starlit paths, With gifts and humble prayer. No palace grand, no royal throne, Yet glory filled the air, For in that child, the world would find A love beyond compare. Bridge From manger straw to rugged cross, He walked the path of grace, To lift the lowly, heal the lost, And shine in every place. So now we sing, with hearts aglow, Of joy tha...

II. A True Story: The Coal Miner Who Saw Eternity In the early 1900s, a West Virginia miner named Thomas McGraw survived a collapse that killed several of his friends. Pinned in the dark for nearly 20 hours, he later testified in a small mountain church: “When the roof came down, I thought about my wife. Then I thought about my children. But when the air grew thin, I thought about my soul.” He said the darkness felt like “a taste of eternity without Christ.” He prayed—really prayed—for the first time in years. When rescuers finally broke through, they found him singing an old Baptist hymn: “Lord, I’m coming home.” He lived another 30 years, and every time he told the story, he ended it the same way: “The fear of God saved my soul. The love of God kept it.” Use These Pictures For This Story Only “The Christmas Candle at Barker” A Historical Christmas Narrative Based on the 1900 Barker Mine Disaster, Fayette County, WV “The people which sat in darkness saw great light.” — Matthew 4:...

“ Christmas Under the Mountain: The St. Clair Mine Story” These Pictures are only for this story. 2026© A Historical Christmas Narrative from Fayette County, West Virginia “For unto you is born this day in the city of  David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” — Luke 2:11 (KJV) The winter of 1907 settled hard over Fayette County. Snow clung to the ridges like white lace, and the New River Gorge lay quiet beneath a sky the color of slate. Coal trains rattled through the valleys, their whistles echoing off the mountainsides, carrying the lifeblood of the region toward distant cities. In the small coal camp near Mount Hope, the St. Clair Mine dominated every sunrise and every prayer. The men who worked there knew the mountain intimately—its moods, its groans, its warnings. They also knew its dangers. But coal was the only work, and families depended on it. Among the miners was Samuel “Sam” Hensley , a man in his early thirties with a gentle voice and a Bible worn soft from ye...

“The Night the Mountain Groaned” A Christmas Story Rooted in the 1900s Fayette County Mine Disasters “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” — Luke 2:11, KJV Fayette County, West Virginia, had always lived by the mines. In the early 1900s, coal dust clung to every porch rail, every coat, every heartbeat. Men descended into the earth before dawn, and families waited for the whistle that meant another shift had ended safely. But on December 16, 1907 , at the St. Clair Mine near Mount Hope , the whistle never blew. A pocket of gas ignited deep underground. The explosion shook the hills, sending a plume of smoke curling into the winter sky. Families rushed from their company houses, mothers clutching shawls around their shoulders, children crying as the ground trembled beneath their feet. Among the trapped miners was Samuel “Sam” Hensley , a quiet man known for reading his Bible during lunch breaks. His wife, Lila, had packed his tin pail t...

In Fayette County’s rugged earth, A trembling shook the ground, The St. Clair Mine fell silent then— No shift‑end whistle sound. The lamps went out, the dust rose thick, The night pressed hard and grim, Yet in the black, one whispered prayer Reached heaven’s heights from him. Sam Hensley held a tattered note His Lila placed with care: “The Lord is Light,” she’d written down— A truth he breathed in prayer. While rescue crews fought smoke and stone, And wives knelt in ...

With all your might - Wrote this this morning.  1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil;  for the devil sinneth from the beginning.  For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, ( he was born and became a man) that he might destroy the works of the devil. Jesus came to fix what the devil messed up. Because that's what love does.
