Little one you\u2019ve come so far\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Heavenly Papa watching from a distant star<\/em><\/h6>\n
Prophesied by the ancients, foretold that you would come<\/em><\/h6>\n
And in my arms my little one\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Wrapped in swaddling clothes and for some\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Bore witness of your birth.<\/em><\/h6>\n
We\u2019ve heard this story told, and retold, but do we really understand?<\/h6>\n
That Silent Night, and Emanuel, are songs we sing, that is all about, how God became a man!<\/h6>\n
To redeem the world that was lost to sin\u2026<\/h6>\n
To spread good-news and to welcome in\u2026<\/h6>\n
The kingdom of God to live within\u2026<\/h6>\n
All those who welcome Him\u2026<\/h6>\n
Do we really understand?<\/h6>\n
In this season of our lives, when this year comes to an end\u2026<\/h6>\n
Will we recognize on that first New-Year\u2019s day?<\/h6>\n
Time has not stopped it is slipping away\u2026<\/h6>\n
One thing remains and is yet to be seen\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m talking about supernatural things\u2026<\/h6>\n
Faith is in the now, not then, it\u2019s in the who not how\u2026<\/h6>\n
Today is the day to welcome Christ in, to kneel before him and humbly bow\u2026<\/h6>\n
In the presence of the King!<\/h6>\n
That baby boy, no longer lies in a manger\u2026<\/h6>\n
God is no longer a foreign stranger\u2026<\/h6>\n
He lives and breathes in heaven\u2019s shores<\/h6>\n
Waiting for you to accept Him as Lord\u2026<\/h6>\n
Rejoice and know that the story you\u2019ve been told<\/h6>\n
Waits for you to open and behold\u2026<\/h6>\n
New Life, restored and humanity made whole\u2026<\/h6>\n
He\u2019s alive! He\u2019s alive!<\/h6>\n
Children of the human race; man, woman, boy and girl\u2026<\/h6>\n
Welcome to a brand-new world!!<\/h6>\n

John 1:29-51<\/em><\/h6>\n
English Standard Version<\/em><\/h6>\n
Behold, the Lamb of God<\/em><\/h6>\n
29\u00a0<\/sup><\/em>The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, \u201cBehold,\u00a0the Lamb of God, who\u00a0takes away the sin\u00a0of the world!\u00a030\u00a0<\/sup>This is he of whom I said,\u00a0\u2018After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.\u2019\u00a031\u00a0<\/sup>I myself did not know him, but\u00a0for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.\u201d\u00a032\u00a0<\/sup>And John\u00a0bore witness:\u00a0\u201cI saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and\u00a0it remained on him.\u00a033\u00a0<\/sup>I myself did not know him, but\u00a0he who sent me to baptize\u00a0with water said to me, \u2018He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain,\u00a0this is he who baptizes\u00a0with the Holy Spirit.\u2019\u00a034\u00a0<\/sup>And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son[a<\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0of God.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
