31 Days of Song, Day #25 - Merry Christmas!!!

It is here!  At last, it is Christmas! :) I think I've never enjoyed a Christmas as much as I am enjoying this one now.  There is something so special about having Christmas fall on a Sunday so that believers everywhere can gather together and have a church service that's both "normal" and special.  I enjoyed this so much today.  Now I get to spend the rest of the day with my family!



The song I specifically chose to post for today is one of the ones from Keith and Kristyn Getty's new CD.  I love this song, and thought it was perfect to save for today.

In this season of much singing I ask those who love our Lord Jesus to ask very specially for singing hearts.  It would be sad if the lovely Christmas hymns and carols sounded only like a noise--even a noise of music--to Him.  But if they are the glad and wondering adoration of our hearts, then I think they will give Him joy.  Do not forget what Christmas cost Him--Gethsemane and Calvary.
-- Amy Carmichael



Have a wonderful Christmas!  Make sure to take some time to read the story of how it all happened.  My favorite part of the Bible that talks about this is Luke 1:1-2:40.  Enjoy!


To grant to us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.
Luke 1:74-75

31 Days of Song, Day #23

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve!  Hurray!

Today I got the day off from work because we got another foot of snow and the roads are terrible and no one's going to be going out to eat anyway today.  It's so slow they didn't need me, which is great!

Yesterday I discovered Joy - An Irish Christmas by Keith and Kristyn Getty, and I love it!  This couple does such great renderings of any song they come to, and their Christmas CD is no exception.  I already posted on song yesterday, and I have two more I want to include before this month is over.  The one I chose for today is "O Savior of Our Fallen Race".  Originally it's a 6th century Latin carol, but the Gettys made some alterations to it "with the aim of turning the song into a missional prayer that emphasizes the return of Christ."  Enjoy!

31 Days of Song, Day #22

I have decided that I love Christmas break.  Mixing the best season of the year--Christmas--with a much-needed break from school just makes it all the better than usual!

I usually can't stand "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman", but then today I found this version of it by Keith and Kristyn Getty.  They can seriously make the worst song sound amazing.  Enjoy!



"He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy;
Then it was well.
Is not that what it means to know Me?"
Declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 22:16
