It Began On Christmas Day ~ Song

Source: google.com via Katy on Pinterest It Began On Christmas Day Song-   By: Susan Y Nikitenko Jesus Once A baby in a manger long ago; Was sent to earth from heaven, For  God, He loved us so. God gave us a Christmas Gift that lasts a whole life long; For Jesus died for us, arose, and gave us a song. Jesus was born, Jesus grew, Jesus died, Arose anew. Jesus lives; And He forgives. He made a way. He made a way.... And It began.... On  Christmas day. It was A Merry Christmas to the world on that day; Jesus came to the world to wash our sins away. Jesus once a baby rocked and loved in Mary's care; Now is the Risen Savior that holds us very near. Jesus was born, Jesus grew, Jesus died, Arose anew. Jesus lives And He forgives. He made a way. He made a way.... for  me and you. The promised gift of salvation was given in love; The  sinless Lamb was provided by our God above...

Hallelujah, Hallelujah ~ A Christmas song

Image
Hallelujah , Hallelujah Angels in the clouds on high; Brighten up the night time sky. Shepherds listening to them sing; Telling of the newborn King. The Shepherds fall to the ground; Frightened by the sudden sounds. Fear not, we come with tidings anew; Christ was born for all including you. Hallelujah , Hallelujah; Our Christ the King has come. Hallelujah , Hallelujah; Gods one and only Son. They find the new born baby; Mary rocking him gently. Joseph standing closely by; While they heard a lullaby. The cows are softly lowing; The star above is glowing. God's presence is all around; Shepherds worship on the ground. Hallelujah , Hallelujah; Our Christ the King has come. Hallelujah , Hallelujah; Gods one and only Son. As the night grows lighter; And the baby lays asleep. I almost hear  Mary sing; Glory to the new born King. Her heart is full of praising; All those around her gazing. Upo...

The Heart Of Christmas

Image
The Heart Of Christmas   When Christmas bells chime; When Christmas lights shine; We know that your birthday is near When candles are glowing; And outside it's snowing; We know that Christmas time's here. When children are singing; And ornaments swinging; We rejoice in your coming to earth. When we hear the true story; How  you came  from glory;             We celebrate your miracle birth. More than a gift... from heaven; More than a star aglow; More than a little baby; But a Savior we can know. More than a story of old; More precious than valuable gold; More than a day called Christmas; But riches in Jesus untold. He was born to give His life away. He was to die for us one day; For through His blood our debt was paid. This!  The heart of... Christmas day. When Carols are sung; And door wreaths are hung; We know that it's time to prepare. ...

A Precious Story ~ Joan Clifton Costner

A Precious Story (Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas) Come now, children, learn a precious story - How the Christ Child came; We were lost sheep struggling in an endless maze; But the Lord looked down on us in mercy, Chose a priceless plan: He would give His All and buy us back again... Mary, choosing to do His will - Labored hard until...He came! Even birthing the Son of God, In a stable in the hay.... So God placed His Baby in a manger - Told the shepherds why; Then He hung a new star in the highest sky To tell us He sent Jesus Christ to you and I.... (Back to bridge) Now we tenderly say His name Knowing ours to gain...the Prize! And we walk with Him day by day, Keep the Son shine in our eyes.... End with this: We will love our Jesus Christ, our Savior We will follow true, Here’s our heart, Lord, how can we do more for You? You sent us Your Son - You did all that You could do...

Christmas! ~ Joan Clifton Costner

Tears....tears...tears....thank God for Christmas! "Very Special Hours" The stars shone down so softly as You slept upon my breast; The hay, within the manger, made a clean, sweet smelling, nest. The moon beams touched your tiny face. I sat enthralled, enraptured, To realize the grace, this night, Such softness had so captured! I wanted so to tell the earth The things I knew were true. I wanted, too, to hold You close; Keep all away from You. We had waited, all expectant, but were Stunned to see Your precious face! Then, shepherds came and we wondered How they found this little place. I want to make this timeless, Never go on to tomorrow, Just hold You close and claim as mine ~ Excluding future sorrow. For change is quick and I just want To hold this night forever, Never come to days apart or Relationships that sever. So, holding close, I'll sing my Baby song to You; Feel You cuddle close and hear The special sounds You do...

Wise Men Still Seek Him ~ Joan Clifton Costner

Wise Men Still Seek Him Is that a baby, on the hay ... There, where the donkey used to lay, With shepherds quaking down on the ground, Angels hovering all around ... Wise men seeking where He'll be found? And, Wise Men Still Seek Him! Wise Men, Still, Seek Him! That little baby, on the hay, Couldn't mean any thing today. But, some say Jesus is living still, Say He loves us and always will, Gave His life on a lonely hill ... For, wise men who seek Him. Wise Men Still Seek Him! Something, inside me, tells me That He's in control of it all. Something assures my heart That He hears my every call. Sweet little baby,on the hay, King of the universe today ... He won't leave us down here alone. He went to Heaven to make a home. He's coming soon and He'll take His own, Those wise men who seek Him. For, Wise Men Still seek Him! © by Joan Clifton Costner http://underhiswings0.tripod.com Poetry On This Site Can Be Freely Used ...

My Christmas Tree ~ Joan Clifton Costner

Source:  unskinnyboppy.blogspot.com  via  Andrea  on  Pinterest My Christmas Tree I love my shining Christmas tree - And Jesus loves it too, Because He knows what it means to me; I’ll share that now with you... Atop my shining tree I place a Star to shine out bright, Reminding me of Wise Men who Were led by His star’s light. And there within the branches Many strands of light are curled - Symbolic that it’s still His truth That lights a darkened world! A wooden manger was His bed When shepherds came to see - And wooden toys and tools He saw While He played at Joseph’s knee. His hands in youth, were taught to train The wood the way to bend - And from a wooden ship He called Some men to follow Him. He laid upon a wooden ship, A pillow ‘neath His head, The night the raging storm arose And "Peace, be still" was said. At last He laid upon the wood, While ...
