Come, rejoice with me –
for Christ the Lord is born,
In Judean stable
… that cold wintry morn;
His mother, Mary, nursed Him, Joseph gazed in awe.,
Shepherds came to visit
so amazed at what they saw !
( CHORUS) Wonderful, Counsellor, Jesus is to me;
Virgin
born at Bethlehem to die on Calvary…
Mighty
God, Prince of Peace, Prophet, Priest
and King;
“Peace on earth to
mankind,” the angels loud did sing,
Messiah, long predicted, has come Good News to bring !
For all who trust this Saviour eternal life may know,
Peace and joy and Father’s care and sins washed white as
snow !
( Tune :
Jingle Bells )
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Wise men came a-seeking , they’d travelled from afar,
Then, o’er the stable, they beheld the wondrous Christmas
star;
T’was there they found the Saviour … their hearts did surely thrill …
They went home, so
joyfully … but wise men
seek Him still.
( Tune : Frosty the snowman)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Now’s the time for celebration – Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Christ has come to bring salvation … Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
He, who once this world created,
now in Bethlehem located,
by the godly long awaited !
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
In the manger in a stable …Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
lies the One who will be able …Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
from the curse to set us free,
by His death for you and me
fill our hearts with harmony … Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
He’s the One who’s worthy of praise … Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
He’s the One foretold in past days … Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Infant helpless, tiny, so weak
on that chilly morning, so bleak,
yet those lips one day would then speak,“Come ye unto Me
and be ye saved !”
( Tune : Deck the Halls )
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Shepherds
in yonder field, time to take your flock back home –
Night winds are growing colder, you don’t want to let them
roam.
Suddenly light shines brightly – into every heart comes fear,
O’er-head they hear some voices … coming from the heav’nly
sphere.
“Peace on
Earth, good will to men,” is what the angels’ spake,
“For the
Christ is born this day for all mankind’s sake …”
Hasten now to distant stable … see the star a-shine above,
Worship the new-born infant … bow before this King of Love.
“Peace on
Earth, Good will to men,” …the shepherds hurried home ,
Told the
news to all they met – Messiah now has come !
Some believed and some rejected, … so it is this very day…
I’m glad that He’s my Saviour …
‘cos He washed my sins away !
( Tune : Rudolph the
red-nosed …)
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You’d better watch out … you’d better not pout,
You’d better not sigh … I’m a-tellin’ you why …
Jesus Christ is coming again !
He came as a Babe … as prophets had said,
He’s coming again … He’ll be raising the dead …
Jesus Christ is coming again !
Not
as a helpless infant,
not
coming back to die;
but
coming with His angel host –
coming
from His throne on high…
He’s coming to judge … the goats and the sheep
Some will go steep and some will go deep …
Jesus Christ is coming again !
Not
to a humble manger,
we’ll be meeting in the sky,
not
to provide salvation,
but
His saints to glorify …
He said He’d return, … on this we depend ,
…
The wonders awaiting … we can’t comprehend
Jesus Christ is coming …. again !

The

( Chorus ) ECM … ECM … It’s another day ;
Donald’s left to mind the shop ..
whilst Ronald is away .
……………………………………..
“Excuse me sir,” says lady, “A
book I ordered in,
Ronald says ‘twas here.” So let
the search begin !
In cupboard? Under table? Or
somewhere on the floor ?
Or ‘neath a pile of catalogues or
still in Koorong’s store ?
……………………………………………..
At last there is a sale ... Six
books and birthday card,
Videos and tracts too ... now
comes the bit that’s hard !
She wants to use the Eftpos,
which buttons enter ‘price’ ?
I push this one and that one & the bank will charge her twice.
………………………………………
Here comes a Mum with kiddies, or
is it World War Four ?
A-fighting and a-strewing all the
books across the floor …
So Donald is a squirmin’ …he
wants to clip an ear !
The kid who mixed the videos
deserves a kick in rear …
………………………………..
Here comes another customer,dark-skinned, he wears a
fez !
Alas ! I cannot understand a single word he says !
I show him 20 Bibles, that suit most any
nation,
And then I learn he’s only asking -
“Which way to the station ?”
……………………………………..
“Just ring me if you need me,”
says Ronald with a smile -
But when I try to ring him …he’s
turned off his mobile;
I think I’ll have a sale … put
bargains on the shelf ,
The trouble is…if they’re
half-price, I’ll buy ‘em all myself !
………………………….
Now I lay me down to sleep
I thank Thee, Lord, my soul you’ll keep .
Forgive the things I’ve done this day
That caused my feet to go astray.
Tomorrow, Lord, if I’m still living –
To Thee my service I’ll be giving !
But should I die before I wake ..
Well … that’s O.K. by me !!!

Was of my dear old grandma,
so gentle,
meek and mild.
Each Sunday morning
found her
dressed up in finest lace;
And then we’d go to church and sing
Of God’s
amazing grace.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Glory, Hallelujah” -
that’s how grandma praised
With the
congregation …
her voice she loudly raised;
She’d clap her hands and sing a song
how Jesus set
her free,
And the Lord, He
didn’t mind,
that my grandma sang off-key.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
People used to joke about
my grandma
being loud -
For you could hear her singin’
way far above the crowd.
The Preacher,
he would laugh at her
but then he’d say to me:
“ I wish we had more people
who could sing
off-key!”
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Glory, Hallelujah” -
that’s what grandma sang,
And when she
hit her top note…..
how the rafters rang !.
She’d clap her hands and sing a song
how Jesus set
her free,
And the Lord, He
didn’t mind,
that my
grandma sang off-key.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Then came that final Sunday when
I sat in
church alone
And I whispered to the Lord, “I know ..
you had to take her home,
But I sure miss the way my grandma
used to sing
for me,
And I really didn’t mind it
when she sang off-key.”
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Now she’s gone to heaven – …
her singin’
I will miss ,
But she’s singing with the choir
that has to be
the best.
It seems to me each Sunday
the angels
sing for me
And above the rest I hear one voice
that
sings off-key.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Glory, Hallelujah” -
that’s how grandma praised… With the congregation …
her voice she loudly raised;
She’d clap her hands and sing a song
how Jesus set
her free,
And the Lord,
still doesn’t mind,
when my
grandma sings off-key.
“Glory, Hallelujah” -
that’s what grandma sang,
She had to be the happiest person that I’ve ever seen.
She’d clap her hands and sing a song about Jesus set
her free,
And the Lord didn’t mind that my grandma sang off-key,
Oh, the Lord and me don’t mind that my grandma sang
off-key.

I believe in the Man in the sky
(the Man in the sky)
I believe with His help I’ll get by
(with help I’ll get by)
My footsteps may falter, My eyes may grow dim
But He’s my Gibraltar, I’m trusting in Him
--------------------------------
Though a sparrow is all I may be
(is all I may be)
On me He will still keep an eye
Yes, I’m singing His praise Till the end of my days
I believe in the Man in the sky
Though a sparrow
(sparrow)
is all I may
be
(sparrow am I)
On me He will still keep an eye
(keep an eye)
Yes, I’m singing His praise Till the end of my days
(Man in the sky)

From his mouth to millions God often calls a man
To preach the Word and speak the truth -
Sometimes to take a stand;
’tis sad to see him shun the cross nor stand in its
defence,
between the fields of rights and wrongs
some are sittin’ on the fence
……………………………
Come down, come down, come down from off the fence…
preach the Gospel as it is or take the consequence,
Come down, come down, Come down from off the fence,
Your duty’s plain, you can’t remain
a preacher on the fence.
…………………………..
It’s surely true God calls that man to battle
for the right,
It’s his to ferret out the wrong and wage a faithful
fight,
Not fearin’ what the world may say, but armed with
confidence …
The preacher ought to cease right now from sittin’ on
the fence .
………………………..
They are trying hard to prove that God never made a
man ..
Man evo-luted from the ape, so says some clergyman;
Let those
higher critics teach their philosophy
But they sure ain’t a-gonna make a monkey out of me.
………………………….
The say the Bible is not true … mistakes on every page
,
They’ve compromised to accommodate the spirit of this
age;
But I believe the Book is true, backed up by evidence
I refuse to be a preacher who is sittin’ on the fence …
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lat down your burdens at the Saviour’s cross
And Smile , smile , smile …
Now leave behind the things that did defile
And Smile, you’ll
wear a smile !
More than conquerors we should live
The life that iworth-while,
Filled with the Spirit is my latest style
I’ll smile , smile, smile !
Goodbye to Lucifer and all his ways ,
Smile, smile , smile
Following Jesus, now I’m filled with praise,
This my hours employ …
Victory shall be my cry
O’er things that would destroy
All of the blessing that I now enjoy …
I’ll Smile , smile, smile !!
( Tune: Pack up your troubles )
