Chris Tomlin Emmanuel Hallowed Manger Ground - A Christmas Song

Christmas is on the air. No doubt about that. It's one of the busiest times of the year. We are so caught up buying presents, planning for Christmas dinner, attending Christmas functions, and of course thinking about the people we love, be it nearby or overseas. Christmas is always a festive month. The atmosphere is joyful, happy, and fun. If you go the shopping centers, a lot of people are smiling. Christmas decors are everywhere, and the never ending Christmas sale. However, let us not forget, that thousand years ago, Jesus Christ was born and He is the reason for this season! Enjoy this song from Chris Tomlin entitled Emmanuel Hallowed Manger Ground. It speaks about the real meaning of Christmas. Glory in the Highest CD By Chris Tomlin / Sixsteps From Dove Award-winner Chris Tomlin comes a Christmas worship experience you'll cherish for years to come! Recorded live with a community of artists including Matt Redman, it features "Born That We May Have Life&q

God's Rescue Plan

"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21). What is Christ's greatest accomplishment? It was not His miracles or His insightful teaching or His example of love. The greatest achievement of the God of Christmas is salvation. Sin is a powerful force in our lives and holds us in captivity. The Bible describes our spiritual struggles and failures in various ways. For example, we are trapped as it were in a sea of mud. The more we struggle to get out, the deeper we sink. We are in a dark pit whose walls are so high that we can't possibly climb out. We are so terribly ill there is no cure. We are in a prison with no hope of being released. We are lost and don't know where to go. This is where the mission of Christmas brilliantly shines. Jesus is a great example, but His example is too high for any of us to keep, left to ourselves. He is a great teacher, but

Mary Did You Know? - Kenny Rogers & Wynonna Judd

It's my first time to listen to this song and I can't help to share it on my blog. I'm a country music avid fan and Kenny Rogers is one of the world's best country singers. I really like how he and Wynonna Judd put spirit in every lyrics of the song. It is so believable! The lyrics of  Mary, Did You Know? tells the story of Jesus , His birth, His Ministry, and His Diety. He is the great "I Am."  Jesus said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever;" (John 6:51)  I AM from above . You are of this world; I am not of this world.( John 8:23)  " I AM the light of the world . He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12) "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM ." (John 8:58) " I AM the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture."( John 10:9) " I AM the

The Greatest Gift Of All  Lyrics Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers Dawn is slowly breaking Our friends have all gone home You and I are waiting For Santa Claus to come There's a present by the tree Stockings on the wall Knowing you're in love with me Is the greatest gift of all The fire is slowly fading Chill is in the air All the gifts are waiting For children ev'rywhere Through the window, I can see Snow begin to fall Knowing you'

Chris Tomlin - Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)

Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” (Matthew 1:23) Emmanuel! God incarnate here to dwell! Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground) Ed Cash, Chris Tomlin Buy Album Glory In The Highest at Amazon What hope we hold this starlit night a King is born in Bethlehem Our journey long, we seek the light that leads to the hallowed manger ground Verse 2 What fear we felt in the silent age four hundred years can he be found But broken by a baby's cry rejoice in the hallowed manger ground Chorus Emmanuel, Emmanuel God incarnate here to dwell Emmanuel, Emmanuel Praise His name Emmanuel Verse 3 The son of God, here, born to bleed a crown of thorns would pierce His brow And we beheld this offering, exalted now, the King of kings Praise God for the hallowed manger ground

Come Aboard The Party Christmas Bus!

What a way to celebrate Christmas riding on a Christmas Bus! Yes, they are rolling here in Sydney, Australia. There are four of them operated by the Hills Bus. We chance upon the The Party Christmas Bus last Sunday afternoon. The other three buses are themed The Australian Christmas Bus, The Winter Wonderland Bus, and the Santa's Cave Bus. These buses are definitely much better than the atheist buses to be launched in New Zealand! Not a joke. T'was such a fantastic ride. My four-year-old son was so amazed and can't control his mouth to say a big "wow!" Definitely, it did put smiles on our faces. We are quite pleased to see smiling faces of people hopping in on various bus stops. What an atmosphere of smiling people!  I say the Christmas Bus is one of the cleanest public buses we've boarded here in Sydney. It's top of the class and it's fully airconditioned. Good smell and absolutely clean. We really enjoyed the ride from the rolling hills and beauti

Go Tell it on the Mountain (Garth Brooks)

Yes, I am a big fan of country music! Garth Brooks is an amazing country music singer and he dominates my music collections. This Christmas song "Go Tell It on the Mountains" is great for this season of joy, peace and love. It conveys the real meaning of Christmas. Be blessed! Go Tell it on the Mountain Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born The shepherds all were watching Over their sheep at night When a guiding star shone from heaven And the followed that holy light Got tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born They found a lovely manger Where the humble Christ was born And God sent out salvation On that blessed Christmas morn Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born He brought with Him forgiveness He live to show us the way He came to redee

Christmas in Our Hearts

I love this Original Pilipino Music (OPM). The lyrics convey the real meaning of Christmas. It's not about presents. It's not about Santa Claus. It's not about the reindeers. It's about the greatest gift that humanity has ever had! This Christmas, will you accept this precious free gift from God? "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful , Counselor , Mighty God , Everlasting Father , Prince of Peace . (Isaiah 9:6)" Jesus Christ, the Christ of Christmas, the Reason for this season! Christmas in Our Hearts Lyrics and Song by Jose Mari Chan Whenever I see girls and boys Selling lanterns on the street I remember the child in the manger as he sleeps Wherever there are people Giving gifts exchanging cards I believe that Christmas is truly in our hearts Let's light our Christmas trees for a bright tomorrow Where nations are at peace, And all are
