Another Christmas

How about some new music today.  You will have to have Spotify or iTunes to get this one.  Take a listen to this little tune from Over the Rhine’s new album Blood Oranges in the Snow.  The song is Another Christmas.  It’s not a traditional Christmas hymn, but  it is full of  nice sounds and  powerful lyrics like these

 

‘Cause we’ve committed every sin
And each one leaves a different scar
It’s just the world we’re living in
And we could use a guiding star

I hope that we can still believe
The Christ child holds a gift for us
Are we able to receive
Peace on earth this Christmas

 

As we skirt through December, let us remember the importance of the guiding star that led us to the little bundle of salvation called the baby Jesus. And let us have Peace on Earth this Christmas!

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2 KJV

O Come, O Come

For Day 2 here’s a nice Acapella version of an Advent favorite!  And most of you know how much I love acapella versions of music!  It’s the best!

 

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice ! Rejoice ! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Yeah! This is something to Rejoice over!

14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)

Magnify

Yeah, it’s December!  How about a Christmas song a day all the way to Christmas?

Let’s start with one of my favorites ( but aren’t they all?).  Here’s a modern Christmas song from Mr. Tomlin.

 

And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;” Luke 1:46-48 (RSV)

This month let your soul magnify the gifts of the Lord!
