I was just singing praises to God in my Room and this beautiful Song came to my mind. So I thought I would share it with all of you. I hope you like the lyrics. The Melody is beautiful too.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

1 To God be the glory great things He has done, so loved He the world that He gave us His Son.
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, and opened the life-gate that all may go in.

CHORUS

Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father to Jesus His Son, and give Him the glory great things He has done.

2 O perfect redemption the purchase of Blood, to every believer the promise God;
The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

CHORUS
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord………

3 Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, and great our rejoicing in Jesus the Son,
But purer and higher and greater will be, our wonder our transport when JESUS WE SEE.

CHORUS

Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice,
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, let the people rejoice.
O come to the Father to Jesus His Son, and give Him the glory great things He hath done.

Peace and Love Irene

MORNING HAS BROKEN

1 Morning has broken like the first morning, black bird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise to the singing, praise to the morning,
Praise for the springing fresh from the word.

2 Praise for the first rain fall, sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dew fall, and the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the first garden,
Praise in completeness were His feet pass.

3 Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning,
Born of the first light, Edon say play,
Praise in elation, praise every morning,
God's recreation of the new day.

Peace and Love Irene

ALL CREATURES OF GOD AND KING

1  All creatures of our God and King,
  Lift up your voice and sing,    Alleluia, Alleluia!
  Thou burning sun with golden beam, Thou silver moon with softer gleam,
  O Praise Him, O Praise Him, Alleluia
  Alleluia, Alleluia!  

2 Thou rushing winds that art so strong, Ye clouds that sail in heaven along.
  O Praise Him Alleluia!
  Thou rising moon in Praise rejoice,
  Ye lights of evening, find a voice,
 
3  Thou flowing water pure and clear,
   Make music for Thy Lord to hear,
   Alleluia, Alleluia!
   Thou fire so masterful and bright.
   That gives man both warmth and light.

4   And all ye men of tender heart,
    For giving others take your part.
    Alleluia, Alleluia!
    Ye who long pain and sorrow bear.
    Praise God and on Him cast your care.

    O Praise Him, O Praise Him, Alleluia,
    Alleluia, Alleluia!

    Peace and Love Irene

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

1 When on life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost.
Count your many blessings, count them one by one.
And it will surprise you what the LORD has done.

2 Are you ever burdened with a loud of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many bessings, every doubt will fly.
And you will be singing as the days go by.

3 So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all.
Count your many blessings Angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
what the LORD has done.

CHORUS
Count your blessings name them one by one,
Count your blessings see what God has done.
Count your many blessings name them one by one,
Count your blessings see what God has done.

Peace and Love Irene

I'LL WALK WITH GOD
I'll walk with God from this day on
His helping hand I'll lean upon
This is my prayer, my humble plea
May the Lord be ever with me

There is no death,tho eyes grow dim
There is no fear when I'm near to Him
I'll lean on Him forever
And He forsake me never

He will not fail me as long as my faith is strong
Whatever road I may walk along

I'll walk with God, I'll take His hand
I'll talk with God, He'll understand
I'll pray to Him, each day t o Him
And He'll hear the words that I say
His hand will guide my throne and rod
And I'll never walk alone, while I walk with God.

Peace and Love Irene

THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

 To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbearable foe
 To bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go

 To right the unrightable wrong, to love pure and chaste from afar,
 To try when your arms are too weary, to reach the unreachable star.

 This is my quest, to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how  far.
 To fight for the right, without question or pause, to be willing to march
 Into hell for a heavenly cause

 And I know
 If I only be true
 To this glorious quest
 That my heart will lie peaceful and calm, when I laid to my rest

 And the world will be better for this
 That one man
 Scorned and covered with scars
 Still strove
 With his last ounce of courage
 TO REACH TH UNREACHABLE STAR.

 Peace and Love Irene

HOW BEAUTIFUL UPON THE MOUNTAINS

 Arise O Jerusalem, and stand on high, and look toward the east,
 And behold thy children
 Gathered from the west unto the east,
 By the word of the Holy One, Rejoicing in the remembrance of God.

 How beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of Him
 That bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace
 That publisheth unto Zion
 That saith unto Zion, thy God reigneth!

 How beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of Him
 That bringeth good tidings that publisheth peace
 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him
 That bringeth good tidings

 The glorious majesty of the Lord shall endure forever
 The Lord shall rejoice in all His works
 The earth shall tremble at the look of Him
 If He do but touch the hills, they shall smoke

 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live
 I will praise my God while I have my being
 I will sing, I will sing, I will sing
 Unto the Lord as long as I live

 How beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of Him
 That bringeth good tidings that publisheth peace
 How beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of Him
 That bringeth good tidings
 Praise, Praise the Lord.

 Peace and Love Irene

ARISE SHINE FOR THY LIGHT IS COM

Arise I stand at the door and knock
If any man hear my voice
And open the door
I will come in to Him
And will sup with Him
And He with me

I am the Light of the world
He that followeth Me
Shall not walk in darkness
But shall have the Light of Life

CHORUS

Arise, shine, for the Light is come
And thy glory of the Lord is risen upon thee

For the sun shall be no more
Thy light by day
Nor for brightness shall the moon
Give light unto thee
But the Lord shall be to thee
Thine ever lasting Light
And thy God thy glory

CHORUS
For the sun shall be no more
Thy light by day
Nor for brightness shall the moon
Give light unto thee
But the Lord shall be to thee
Thine eve lasting Light
And thy God thy glory

CHORUS
Arise, shine for the Light is come

Peace and Love Irene

THEN SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS SHINE FORTH

From Mendelssohn's Elijah

Then shall the righteous shine forth
As the sun in their heavenly Fathers realm
Shine forth as the sun in their heavenly Father's realm
Then shall the righteous shine forth
In their heavenly Father's realm
As the sun, as the sun in their heavenly Father's realm

Joy on their head be for everlasting
Joy on their head shall be for everlasting
And all sorrow and mourning shall flee away
Shall flee away forever

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun
In their heavenly Father's realm
Shine forth, shine forth in their heavenly Father's realm
Shine forth as the sun in their heavenly Father's realm
Then shall the righteous shine
In their heavenly Father's realm

Peace and Love Irene

Miracle of Miracles
from Fiddler on the Roof

Wonder of wonders
Miracle of miracles
God took a Daniel again
Stood by His side
And miracle of miracles
Walked Him through the lion's den

Wonder of wonders
Miracle of miracles
I was afraid that God might frown
Like He did so long ago in Jericho
God just made a wall fall down

When Moses softened Pharaoh's heart
That was a miracle
When God made the waters of the Red Sea part
That was a miracle too

But of all God's miracles
Large and small
The most miraculous one of all
Is that out of a worthless lump of clay
God has made a man today

Wonder of wonders
Miracle of miracles
God took a tailor by the hand
Turned Him around
And miracle of miracles
Led Him to the promised land

When David slew Goliath, Yes
That was a miracle
When God gave us manna in the wilderness
That was a miracle, too

But of all God's miracles
Large ad small
The most miraculous one of all
Is the one I thought could never be
God has given you to me

How beautiful is that!!!!!!

Peace and Love Irene

P.S. Something to say to your Husband or Wife's, Yes

Ya know, schools are allowed to celebrate halloween, to say “happy halloween” but when it comes to Christmas they turn to “Happy Holidays” and winter holiday parties.  What is wrong with this picture?  Check this song out:

Yes, it's that time of the year. But is Christ really born on that day, or is it Nimrod's Birthday.
Sorry Kathi that I am not to trilled about Christmas and our Children do celebrate it, so last year I did buy presents for Brian who was only 7 then. I don't know what I am going to do this year. I have not talked to Georg about it yet.
It is all so beautiful and I always have mixed feelings, knowing that it is not Christ's Birthday.
The song is nice, something Tiffany would like too. I will show Her next Family Day on Sunday. Thank you and please don't
feel bad, that is not what I want. O.K. Did you not like the Song? Does it make a difference if you say Happy Holidays, did they take Christ out of the Song? Did you ever try to prove if Christ was born on Dec.25? I did, He was born at the end of September and the beginning of November. It is hard to figure out the exact day.
Love you always, Irene

[Lightenup]

Irene,
Listen again, it says that Christmas is about the birth of Christ not the birthday of Christ. Can you celebrate the birth of Christ every year as an organized holiday. Maybe you can think of Christmas as being about Christ's birth and not about Christ's birthday. Do you see the difference? It shouldn't matter who was born on a particular day…that shouldn't keep you from celebrating something totally unrelated to that person. Suppose your granddaughter was born on Dec. 25th. Would you refuse to celebrate her birthday on Dec. 25th just because Nimrod was born on that day? I hope not. So, I'm going to celebrate that Christ was born corporately with many Christians the world over on Dec. 25th.

Look for the positives and celebrate them:
Christ was born from a virgin because God so loved the world. Don't celebrate Dec. 25th as His birthDAY, celebrate on Dec. 25 because that celebrates the world changing fact that He was born.
Don't feel bad about celebrating on Dec. 25th. You believe that Christ was born to a virgin because God so loved the world and that event changed the world, right. So…celebrate…rejoice as a world-wide body of believers. Take advantage of that time of year to talk it up…”God sent His Son everybody and that is what Christmas is about!” People who only say “Happy Holidays” are taking Christ out of Christmas and Christians are standing by and just letting them. It's CHRISTmas CHRISTmas CHRISTmas… Christians have the world's attention in December…Mary, Joseph and Jesus memorabilia is all over the place…tell the unbeliever's why. Tell them that story of Christ being born was an actual event and be prepared to present the reason why as God leads. The Christmas season provides an open door to speak about this story. It is GOOD news! Enjoy…the story was for you and the whole world. I think we should get more people involved in celebrating the real reason for the season.

Love,
Kathi

Thank you Kathi, will think about all of what you said, and pray about it too. We belonged to the W.W.Church of God, and Mr. Armstrong was very much against celebrating Christmas. I guess that is still in my mind. Cindy was only 13 years old then. We sometimes talk about those years. She told me the last time, that She believes those years were happy years. I have to agree with Her. We never talked about others and we were encouraged by the Minister to talk to everybody and Love everybody. Also we got at the Service sometimes an hour before it started and afterwards stayed another hour. So we were there close to 4 hours. Then we went out to eat, most of the times. And fellowshipped some more.
Coming out of the Catholic Church left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Gossip was a big thing in that Church. I was a Song Leader and making people sing was a big job. The Mass only took half an Hour, yet some even fell asleep. And then some did not even wait till it was over, and left before then. It was sad to say the least. Thank you for listening, and God Bless, Love Irene

[Lightenup]

Hi Irene,
I'm glad that you will think about that because Christmas time is all around us and to feel like you can't celebrate it also, especially being a Christian, would be sad and a burden that you should not have been given, IMO. All these wasted Christmas' that you haven't felt the freedom to celebrate makes me feel sad. I do hope that you change your mind and you can once again have the freedom and joy that you once had at Christmas time.

Love,
Kathi
