On this Christmas Eve, we are exceedingly thankful for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! We are lost for sufficient words to describe the love Jesus poured out on us by entering into this earthly world as a baby boy – fully human, yet fully God, living a sinless life as an example to all. He willingly suffered in our place, taking the punishment for our sin (the propitiation), so that those who believe upon the name of Jesus would be saved and have eternal life in the very presence of God! Amen!
Hebrews 2:14-17 [NKJV]
“Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.”
Pastor Dewey Moede and I agreed that sharing a mixture of modern and traditional Christmas songs is in order for this season! So, from December 14, 2022 through tomorrow, Christmas Day, I’ll continue to post articles with videos or audio-videos of some great and worshipful Christmas-themed songs.
For Day 11 (Christmas Eve), here is David Phelps singing O Holy Night with Bill and Gloria Gaither (and friends). My brothers and sisters, if there is only one song in this series you listen to, this should be the one. I’ve never heard in my entire lifetime a more powerful and heartfelt rendition of this song. Please worship along with O Holy Night!
Here are the lyrics:
O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels’ voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine o night
O night divine
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels’ voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine o night
O night divine
God bless you all! Hopefully you’ll come back to FGGAM’s website tomorrow and join me for the final Christmas song(s) in this series on Day 12. Tomorrow is Christmas!
