Offertory #1 | Child of the Poor

Helpless and hungry
lowly, afraid
wrapped in the chill of mid-winter

Comes now among us
born into poverty’s embrace
new life for the world

Who is this who lives with the lowly
sharing their sorrows
knowing their hunger

This is Christ
revealed to the world in the eys of a child
a child of the poor

Who is the stranger
here in our midst
looking for shelter among us

Who is the outcast
Who do we see amid the poor
the children of God

Who is this who lives with the lowly
sharing their sorrows
knowing their hunger

This is Christ
revealed to the world in the eys of a child
a child of the poor

Bring all the thirsty
all who seek peace
bring those with nothing to offer

Strengthen the feeble
say to the frightened heart, “Fear not
Here is your God”

Who is this who lives with the lowly
sharing their sorrows
knowing their hunger

This is Christ
revealed to the world in the eys of a child
a child of the poor

Communion | O Holy Night (Traditional)

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth

Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
‘Til 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
O hear, the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born

O night divine
O night, o night divine

Led by the light
of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand

Over the world
a star is sweetly gleaming
Now come the wise men from out of the Orient land

The King of Kings
lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials
born to be our friend

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

O night divine
O night, o night divine

Reflection | A Strange Way to Save the World (Sung by Dennis)

I’m sure he must have been surprised
At where this road had taken him
Cause never in a million lives
Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem

And standing at the manger
He saw with his own eyes
The message from the angel come to life
And Joseph said

Why me, I’m just a simple man of trade
Why Him with all the rulers in the world
Why here inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she’s just an ordinary girl

Now I’m not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the World

To think of how it could have been
If Jesus had come as He deserved
There would have been no Bethlehem
No lowly shepherds at His birth

But Joseph knew the
Reason love had to reach so far
And as he held the Savior in his arms
He must have thought

Why me, I’m just a simple man of trade
Why Him with all the rulers in the world
Why here inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she’s just an ordinary girl

Now I’m not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the World

Recessional | Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains

Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your Heavenly song

Glo___ria in excelsis Deo
Glo___ria in excelsis De__o

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King

Glo___ria in excelsis Deo
Glo___ria in excelsis De__o

Offertory #2 | We Bring Our Gifts to Your Altar

Communion | Night of Silence/Silent Night

[Men will hum “Silent Night” during verses of “Night of Silence”]

Verses
Cold are the people,
Winter of life,
We tremble in shadows this cold endless night,
Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping,
Flowers that will echo the sunrise,
Fire of hope is our only warmth,
Weary, its flame will be dying soon.

Voice in the distance,
Call in the night,
On wind you enfold us you speak of the light,
Gentle on the ear you whisper softly,
Rumors of a dawn so embracing,
Breathless love awaits darkened souls,
Soon will we know of the morning.

[All will sing “Silent Night”]

Silent night
Holy night
All is come
All is bright
Round yon Virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace

Reflection | We are the Reason (Sung by Onie and JR)

As little children, we would dream of Christmas morn’
And all the gifts and toys
We knew we’d find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by, we learned more about gifts
And giving of ourselves
And what that means
In a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
Because of love
Because of love

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I’ll be giving my all just for Him___for Him

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

Let there be joy to the world!
Joy! Let there be joy!
Let there be joy!
Let there be joy to the world!

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, and wonders___of His love

Joy! Let there be joy!
Let there be joy!
Let there be joy to the world!

[Modulate]
Joy! Let there be joy!
Let there be joy!
Let there be joy to the world!
Joy! Let there be joy!

Offertory | Lift Up Your Hands

Life is not at all that bad, my friend
If you believe in yourself
If you believe there’s someone who walks through life with you
You’ll never be alone
Just learn to reach out
And open your heart
Lift up your hands to God
And He’ll show you the way

And He said, “Cast your burdens upon Me

Come to Me all of you who are tired
Of carrying heavy loads
For the yoke I will give you is easy

Come to Me, and I will give you rest”

Reflection | Let It Be Done (Sung by Onie and JR)

When she heard the voice of God
Calling her to be
The instrument He needed
To bring our world the King of Kings
She could not understand
The wisdom of God’s plan
But still she answered
“Let it be, let it be done unto me”

When he heard the voice of God
Calling him to stand
And take the virgin as his wife
And teach her child to be a man
He could not understand
The wisdom of God’s plan
But still he answered
“Let it be, let it be done unto me”

And we say, “Yes Lord”
“We’re ready to receive”
“Yes Lord”
“We’re ready to believe”
“Let it be, let it be done unto me”
