Here is one of my other favorite songs from the Glad "A Capella Christmas" album. Follow along and enjoy this one too! Glory to God in the Highest!




GLORY TO GOD
by Bob Kauflin

Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God! Glory to God!

Glory to God in the highest!
Peace on the earth to men.

With whom He is pleased.
With whom He is pleased.
Glory to God in the highest!

For unto you is born this day
A Savior who is Christ the Lord.
Unto you is born this day
A Savior who is Christ the Lord.

Here is a great one for Christmas from my favorite group called Glad. Enjoy! Follow along with the lyrics, published below the video link. Awesome.



In the first light of a new day
No one knew He had arrived
Things continued as they had been
While a newborn softly cried

But the heavens wrapped in wonder
Knew the meaning of His birth
In the weakness of a baby
They knew God had come to earth

As His mother held Him closely
It was hard to understand
That her baby not yet speaking
Was the Word of God to man

He would tell them of His Kingdom
But their hearts would not believe
They would hate Him and in anger
They would nail Him to a Tree

But the sadness would be broken
As the Song of Life arose
And the Firstborn of Creation
Would ascend and take His Throne

He had left it to redeem us
But before His life began
He knew He'd come back
Not as a baby but as
The Lord of every man

Hear the Angels as they're singing
On the morning of His birth
But how much greater will their song be
When He comes again, when He comes again

Hear the Angels as they're singing
On the morning of His birth
But how much greater will their song be
When He comes again to Earth

When He comes, When He comes
When He comes to rule the earth

When He comes back
When He comes back
To Rule the earth

How Many Sleeps Till Christmas...

I was poking around the Internet tonight looking for inspiring ideas for the holidays when I came across several websites featuring widgets that count the days, hours and minutes until Christmas.

I was distressed to see there are, at this writing, only 72 days left until Christmas. I am not ready for this. This year has been somewhat chaotic in my life. I thought 2007 was bad, 2008 is worse! Sickness, lots of travel, kids moving out, husband leaving job. I'm just not ready for Christmas!

I am, however, ready to annoy all my friends and family with it by placing countdown widgets on my blog. Not that the world will notice; in over a year I've had only 239 visitors and most of those views were probably generated by my incessant previewing after placing new items in the sidebar.

That's about all I have to say for now. I'm tired and ready for sleep. I have a big day tomorrow, getting the house ready for a sitter and getting ready for my big airplane trip.

Good-night everyone!

Good night
Sleep Tight
Don't let the
Bed bugs bite

And if they do
Take your Shoe
Beat 'em till
They're black and blue.
