♬♪ What Child is This? - Mormon Tabernacle Choir ♫♭ (P&S Natasha in Oz)

Good Evening All!

Natasha in Oz has done a little revamping of Sunday Song.  Sunday Song is no longer, but will be Pinning and Singing on the Weekend.  You'll have to check out all the changes over at 5 Minutes Just for Me.

Natasha has a wonderful Christmas blog, too, Keeping the Christmas Spirit Alive, 365.  Please check out both!  You'll be happy you did!

This week I've chosen "What Child is This" by the Morman Tabernacle Choir.

Lyrics by William Chatterton Dix, 1865

Music by Henry VIII, King of England.  The original was known as "Greensleeves."

1. What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

2. Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

3. So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

I hope you enjoy this weekend's selection, and remember the Babe, our Lord.

Take care and God Bless!

SUNDAY SONG-Mary Did You Know Video - The Passion

Welcome to the last Sunday Song for this year!  Sunday Song will return next year, so please check Natasha's blog for more info.

Mary, Did You Know has got to be my very favorite song, especially at Christmastime! 


I was originally going to post the version sung by Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd.  I love both of their voices - it's the first song on my playlist (which you'll have to pause to hear this one).  The visuals on this offering are so much more moving and more clearly represent Christ's unselfish love and sacrifice for us, that I had to present it to you instead!


If you listen carefully to the lyrics, you can see and feel Christ's Love for all mankind. 


He came to Earth to save you and me.  I know I am unworthy of such a gift of His sacrifice, but so very thankful!!!

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.


Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?


Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo


The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.


Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.

Merry CHRISTmas!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!!!

Sunday Song - Chloe Agnew / Celtic Woman - ''The Little Drummer Boy''



Join us in posting our favorite songs on Sundays.  Go to Natasha's blog at http://5minutesjustforme.blogspot.com/ and link up with us each weekend.  Lots of wonderful music and Great Fun!



The first time I sang this song was in 1966 in our Junior High School Choir's Christmas Pagent.  I've loved it ever since.  I can just imagine seeing the Baby Jesu smiling and approving of the simple gift of music from the little drummer boy!  It gives me chills right now, just writing about it.  To have our Lord smile and approve of me IN PERSON will be AWESOME one day!


I hope you enjoy Celtic Woman and their version of this classic Christmas song.

From Santa with Love ~ by Michelle Davis

A long time ago in a land far away,

A child was born on a cold winter’s day

He wasn’t the baby you’re thinking about

But another small lad, he stood short and stout

He grew up to be quite a caring old man

He loved little children, everyone in the land

He found the “Good Book” and studied its pages

It was the story of Jesus passed down through the ages

His heart overflowed as he read, could it be?

A love so divine that he died just for me?

A twinkle appeared in his eye on that day

He found a road straight to Heaven and Christ was the way

As Christmas came closer, his heart filled with joy

He’d show God’s people he loved them – every girl, every boy

He made lots of goodies and stocked up his shelves

Yes, Santa was busy and so were his elves

He was filled with such love, that he wanted to share

So he handed out gifts to kids everywhere

Praise be to God, let the Angels sing

For this jolly old man spreads love for the King

As he steps into the chimney, he looks high above

And whispers, "Happy Birthday Dear Jesus, from Santa with Love"
