00:30 Welcome and I'm so glad that you have tuned in
00:33 and you are joining us here
00:35 at Sacramento Central Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:39 Christmas, it is a special time of year,
00:43 for us and for each one it means something different.
00:46 There is always wonderful memories
00:47 associated with the Christmas holiday.
00:50 But for me, the thing that I love about Christmas is,
00:55 the music.
00:56 And I remember when I was 11 years old,
01:00 sitting around the hearth, singing Christmas songs,
01:04 and that was the night that Christmas eve
01:07 that I fell in love with "Silent Night."
01:11 Join me NOW as our concert choir
01:13 and orchestra sing and play for us,
01:17 a song as we start on the hills of Bethlehem
01:21 and we remember the shepherds out in the fields
01:24 and the angels bursting through the night sky,
01:27 proclaiming that, "Jesus, our savior had been born."
01:33 And they went and they told, "Angels we have heard on high."
01:54 Angels we have heard on high
01:58 Sweetly singing o'er the plains
02:02 And the mountains in reply
02:06 Echoing their joyous strains
02:10 Gloria
02:18 In excelsis Deo
02:23 Gloria
02:30 In excelsis Deo
02:41 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
02:45 Why your joyous strains prolong?
02:49 What the gladsome tidings be
02:53 Which inspire your heavenly song?
02:58 Gloria
03:06 In excelsis Deo!
03:10 Gloria
03:18 In excelsis Deo!
03:26 Come to Bethlehem and see
03:30 Him Whose birth the angels sing
03:34 Come, adore on bended knee
03:38 Christ the Lord, the newborn King
03:45 Gloria
03:53 In excelsis Deo
03:57 Gloria
04:06 In excelsis Deo
04:16 Joyful hearts with one accord
04:20 Spread the tidings far and wide
04:24 Born to us is Christ the Lord
04:28 At this happy Christmas time
04:33 Gloria
04:41 In excelsis Deo
04:45 Gloria
04:53 in excelsis Deo
05:02 In excelsis Deo
05:08 Deo.
05:32 The hands that first held Mary's child
05:35 Were hard from working wood
05:38 From boards they sawed and nailed and filed
05:41 And splinters they'd withstood
05:45 This day they gripped no tool of steel
05:49 They drove no iron nail
05:52 But cradled from the head to heel
05:55 Our Lord, newborn and frail
05:59 When Joseph marveled at the size
06:02 Of that small breathing frame
06:05 And gazed upon those bright new eyes
06:08 And spoke the infant's name
06:11 The angel's words he once had dreamed
06:14 Poured down from heaven's light
06:17 And like the host of starts that gleamed
06:21 Blessed earth with welcome light
06:24 This Child shall be Emmanuel
06:28 Not God upon the throne
06:30 But God-with-us, Emmanuel
06:35 As close as blood and bone
06:39 The tiny form in Joseph's palms
06:41 Confirmed what he had heard
06:44 And from his heart rose hymns and psalms
06:48 For heaven's human Word
06:51 The tools that Joseph had laid aside
06:55 A crowd would later lift
06:56 And use with anger, fear and pride
07:00 To crucify God's gift
07:03 Let us, O Lord, not only hold
07:07 The Child who's born today
07:10 But charged with faith, may we be bold
07:15 To follow in His way.
07:38 The hands that first held Mary's child
07:45 Were hard from working wood

08:14 They drove no iron nail

09:00 Of that small breathing frame
09:07 And gazed upon those bright new eyes
09:14 And spoke the infant's name
09:21 The angel's voice he once had dreamed
09:28 Poured out from heaven's height
09:34 And like the host of starts that gleamed
09:45 Blessed earth with welcome light
10:03 This Child shall be Emmanuel
10:10 Not God upon a throne
10:17 But God-with-us, Emmanuel

11:53 The Child who's born today
11:59 But charged with faith, may we behold
12:09 To follow in His way.

18:07 Look at this.
18:09 Mary and Joseph when they have the baby,
18:12 set back to got to Bethlehem
18:14 but the inn keeper said they don't have any room.
18:17 So they had to sleep in the stable.
18:21 cloth around to warm the baby up.
18:32 They had to ride the donkey to Bethlehem.
18:35 And do you want to hold the donkey or-
18:38 I want to hold it. Okay.
18:44 That had the baby boy and gave us.
18:47 This is a manger where the baby is kept
18:50 and there is hay that animals eat
18:53 and they put, a clean cloth is in there
18:57 and then and the baby born was born in this.
19:02 And they rest all night, the baby Jesus was born.
19:07 Here He is the one- He's cute.
19:13 That does not goes like that.
19:20 That the angel told
19:22 that the baby Jesus was born in a manger tent.
19:29 Then the shepherds came and then the star,
19:33 the angles looked like
19:35 a bright shinning star in the sky.
19:37 Then the shepherds ran to see.
19:43 wise men saw the bright shinning star in the sky
19:49 and the angles were leading them
19:52 to the baby boy that was born.
19:56 You put it up. Okay.
20:01 Star in Bethlehem. That's the star in Bethlehem.
20:07 The three wise men brought presents.
20:09 They followed the star
20:12 and then they looked at baby Jesus and worshiped Him.
20:19 I want to have one.
20:24 Then the wise men said goodbye baby Jesus
20:27 and then they got on their camels and then.
20:31 Can he be fit on the camel?
20:34 No, too big.
20:36 That was the story of baby Jesus.
20:40 Did you like the story? Not really.
20:44 Not really? Are we both done?
20:55 Joy to the world!
20:58 The Lord has come
21:02 Let earth receive her King!
21:08 Let every heart prepare Him room

23:56 Some days
23:59 We forget to look around us
24:06 Some days,
24:09 We can't see
24:12 The joy that surrounds us
24:18 So caught up inside ourselves
24:23 We take when we should give
24:27 So for tonight we pray for
24:35 What we know can be
24:38 And on this day we hope for
24:46 What we still can't see
24:49 It's up to us, to be the change
24:55 And even though we all can still do more
25:02 There's so much to be thankful for
25:13 Look beyond ourselves
25:18 There's so much sorrow
25:25 It's way too late to say
25:29 I'll cry tomorrow
25:37 Each of us must find our truth
25:42 It's so long overdue
25:45 So for tonight we pray for
25:53 What we know can be
25:57 And on this day, we hope for
26:04 What we still can't see
26:08 It's up to us, to be the change
26:14 And even though we all can still do more
26:21 There's so much to be thankful for
26:29 Even with our differences
26:32 There is a place we're all connected
26:35 Each of us can find each other's light
27:07 So for tonight
27:11 We pray for
27:16 What we know can be
27:19 And on this day
27:22 We hope for
27:27 What we still can't see
27:30 It's up to us, to be the change
27:37 And even though this world needs so much more
27:48 There's so much to be thankful for.
28:21 Away in a manger,
28:25 no crib for a bed
28:29 The little Lord Jesus
28:33 Laid down his sweet head
28:37 The stars in the bright sky
28:42 Looked down where he lay
28:46 The little Lord Jesus
28:50 Asleep in the hay
28:55 Be near me, Lord Jesus
28:59 I ask Thee to stay
29:03 Close by me forever, and love me,
29:09 I pray
29:12 Bless all the dear children
29:16 In thy tender care
29:20 And take us to heaven
29:24 To live with Thee there.

38:23 If You had not come
38:27 Tender baby King
38:31 And humbly left Your throne
38:36 To reach someone like me
38:40 If You had not walked
38:44 Upon this broken ground
38:49 Where on earth
38:51 Would I be now?
38:56 If You had not come
39:07 If You had not come
39:11 To seek the sick and lame
39:15 To set the captive free
39:20 To break the prisoners chains
39:23 I'd still be in the dark
39:28 Longing for the door
39:32 Longing for some way
39:35 Somehow
39:38 But Love came for me
39:43 Love rescued me

40:30 Willing, spotless Lamb
40:34 My sin would be too much
40:37 For You to take me as I am
40:42 But, oh, the love of Christ
40:46 That washes over me
40:51 Flowing from Your hands
40:54 Your feet
40:59 I don't have to worry where I'd be
41:06 'Cause Love came for me
41:10 Love rescued me
