Oh Holy Night – TSMSS

This blessed old hymn, written in 1847, remains my all time favorite Christmas song. This version is sung by one of my favorite groups - Selah.

Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
This is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night,
Oh night divine

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord
Oh praise His name forever
His power, and glory evermore proclaim
His power, and glory evermore proclaim

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh holy night,
Oh night divine

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Thankful Thursday - Restoration

When my boys were young, we loved to turn off the lights in the living room and lay on the floor near the Christmas tree. While they looked up at the twinkling lights and excitedly chattered about toys and stockings, I watched their sparkling eyes and felt some of that child-like wonder...

Marveling at the absolute faith and hope my babies felt, tiredness and stress seemed to melt away as I became refreshed and renewed...

Restored by their laughter...

happy together on the floor...

the lowest spot...

Sweet restoration....

My heart has been somewhat heavy today, but amidst it all...I know restoration is coming.

So today I thank my God for that lowest spot...the valley...where lessons are learned...and a still small Voice speaks...

Trust Me...

I am the Truth, the Life, the Way...

restoration is with Me....

Sweet Saviour...

(IN THE VALLEY) HE RESTORETH MY SOUL

words and music by: Dottie Rambo

When I'm low in spirit,

I cry Lord lift me up;

I want to go higher with Thee.

But nothing grows high on a mountain,

So He picked out a valley for me.

And He leads me beside still waters,

Somewhere in the valley below;

And He draws me aside

to be tested and tried,

In the valley He restoreth my soul.

It's dark as a dungeon

and the sun seldom shines,

And I question Lord why must this be?

Then He tells me

there's strength in my sorrows,

And there's victory in trials for me;

Then He leads me beside still waters...

Down in the valley He restoreth my soul...
