Yes dont forget The Christ in our daily lives;Christ was not born o the 25th of Dec,as its is not wise for the sheperds to be sitting on the ground;I spent many years in the services,and been there in that part of the world.Because it gets very cold at night below 15 and more.
Beautiful version. One of the very best. Incidentally, Mary (as a direct line descendent of King David, a member of the tribe of Judah) could very well have had blonde hair. It's a revisionist myth that the ancient Jews of Israel were all dark haired and darkish skinned. Ancient Jews were noted for having red or reddish hair (King David is a classic example). Abraham's wife, Sarah, is traditionally noted in the Talmud as being a blonde. Medieval Jews were caricatured as red haired.
There is always Hope in the world. Where there is love. Love was the little drummer boys gift to the little baby Jesus. Remember Hope brings love to the world. We live in hope everyday. A gift in your heart lives the light of Hope. Remember.
Nobody sings this song any better than John. He does this magnificently, beatifully so graceful. I love it. It does bring tears to my eyes as it brings back personal memories with him.
This is my favorite Christmas song-- Funny how they have Mary as a blond lady-- at least the lil drummer boy is authentic looking even down to the Yarmulka- or Jewish prayer cap. Hugs-- Merry Christmas.
A favorite Christmas video! I share this at One Year Bible Blogging on facebook with the following verses. Thank you!
Proverbs 29:2a;"A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father"Psalm 123:1-2a;"I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven. As...to the hand of their master...so our eyes look to the Lord our God" Deuteronomy 28:2b-6;"blessings will come on you...if you obey the LORD" Psalm 100:3b; "we are his people, the sheep"
John you are sorely missed, you stood for all things true and right. Talented and a great singer. I have a 5 month old daughter and mama has another baby growing inside her. I promise my children will know your music as I do.
i love this ,its a beautiful song,i play the violen and if i played in front of Jesus it would be the best thing that happend in my life,but then again hes always watching ^w^
I loved this song sience I was a littel girl and I am now 27 years old and still love this song. it makes me cry. I remember my grandma had musicial jingel bells on her door we would go threw and I would always chang the song to this one on it. I would climb in to a chair to get it or open and close the door till that song came on. lol i was only like 6 years old at the time.
So much going on right now and it's so nice to have come on here and hear this. Very peaceful, and a nice get away from anything contrary to peace, if just for a moment....very nicely done. thank you.
At the very end of my day that's all I was...
Just got to be careful where you stick it...
