Merry Chrismtas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

We had a short Christmas Eve candlelight service at our church last night and it was such a blessing! We gathered in a half-circle at the front of the church for hymn singing, Bible reading/teaching, testimony sharing, and the Lord's Supper. The setting was lovely and the fellowship sweet. The service ended too soon. 

What a wonderful Savior we serve! Truly His love is beyond my human comprehension.

(The pulpit was moved for a program the Sunday before Christmas)

Born to Die

On the night Christ was born, Just before break of morn,
As the stars in the sky were fading,
O’er the place where He lay, Fell a shadow cold and gray
Of a cross that would humble a King.

(Chorus)
Born to die upon Calv’ry,
Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
Born to die upon Calv’ry,
He was wounded that I might live.

Jesus knew when He came He would suffer in shame;
He could feel ev’ry pain and sorrow.
But He left Paradise, With His blood He paid the price -
My redemption to Jesus I owe.

 

(Chorus)

From His throne Jesus came, Laid aside Heaven’s fame
In exchange for the cross of Calv’ry;
For my gain suffered loss, For my sin He bore the cross -
He was wounded and I was set free.

 

(Chorus)

Dearest Lord, evermore May Thy cross I adore
As I follow the path to Calv’ry;
Of Thy death I partake, My ambition I forsake -
All my will I surrender to Thee.

(Chorus)
