Did Mary ride a donkey? (Song)

Did Mary ride a donkey?
No one really knows.
Was she always dressed in blue?
No one really knows.
Did she give birth in winter?
No one really knows,
But the baby born that day
Everyone knows!

Was the star a comet?
No one really knows.
Did the shepherds bring a lamb?
No one really knows.
What animals shared the stable?
No one really knows,
But the baby born that day
Everyone knows!

The Christmas story tells us lots
Of things we like to hear.
Peace on Earth,
Goodwill to Men.
Presents – Family – Cheer!
But the only thing we know for sure
From the stories that they tell,
Is ‘Christ was born in Bethlehem,
Our Lord Emmanuel!’

How many wise men were there?
No one really knows.
Were they ever Kings at all?
No one really knows.
Did they meet the shepherds?
No one really knows.
But the baby born that day,
Everyone knows!

Yes, the child they saw that day,
Everyone knows!

And the man we worship today
Everyone knows!

The One who set me free (Song)

Uh, oh, here comes the fear
Flooding in and keeping me up at nights.
Uh, oh, here comes the fear
Where now can I turn....?

Uh, oh, here comes the pain
Pressing down and overwhelming me.
Uh, oh, here comes the pain
Where is my release....?

Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, I will fall
Down on my knees
And seek the One
Who set me free
And I will stand
Upon His word
For I have heard
The One who set me free

Uh, oh, here comes the shame
Welling up and causing the tears to fall
Uh, oh, here comes the shame
Who will comfort me....?

Uh, oh, here comes the doubt
It's so hard to hold on to anything.
Uh, oh, here comes the doubt
Who now can I trust....?

Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, I will lift
My eyes to Him
For I can win
With the one who set me free
And I will Al
-ways praise His name
Always the same
The one who set me free

He's the One who set me free

Jesus You have set me free...

On the edge of Glory (Song)

This is the time
This is the place
To meet with our God
Face to face.
No need to hold back
No need to move on
Let's praise the Lord with a new song

Here we are on the edge of Glory
Here we are on the edge of Glory
Here we are on the edge of Glory
Jump right in to all His Glory
Here we are on the edge of Glory
Here we are on the edge of Glory
Here we are on the edge of Glory
Let's move in to all His Glory

This is the time....

How Beautiful, by Twila Paris (Dance)

I had the idea for this, but my eldest daughter created her own dance part and my youngest (on the left) added some ideas of her own, whilst her friend (on the right) gamely joined in with all that we asked.
It's taken some time to get it on You Tube, but hope you enjoy!

Thanks to Lee Goater for filming it - and for the video slip which gave us the unusual start! We thought it fitted so well we left it in.

They took the body from the Cross

They took the body from the Cross
Did Joseph's men....
They wrapped Him in a pure white sheet
And then....
They laid Him in a virgin tomb -
An echo of His Mother's womb....

But death could not hold Him
And on the third day
He rose as He said He would
And the stone rolled away!
