SPEAKER 02 :
Merry Christmas. May this be the most meaningful Christmas that you’ve ever spent in the Father’s presence. You will be listening to the beautiful music of Gloria Gaither, Reba Rambeau, and Donnie McGuire. All the songs are exceptional, but I want you to pay close attention to He Was Just an Ordinary Baby. As I quote a couple lines from this anointed song, He came to us with eyes wide open, knowing how we’re hurt and broken, choosing to partake of all our joy and pain. He was just an ordinary baby. That’s the way he planned it, maybe, so that we could come to him and not be afraid. As you listen, may you experience God’s loving arms embracing you and have a very Merry Christmas.

All day long the heavens whispered shining words in scarlet red. Still some failed to understand it, so God spoke his final word. On a silent night in Judas’ hills, a baby’s cry was heard. A baby’s cry was heard. Glory sang the angel for us, glory ever. God has come to walk among us. Christ the Lord is born this night. All creation sing his praises. Earth and heaven praise his name.
