SONG Do you hear what I hear? During the song, the advent candle will be lit Said the night wind to the little lamb, do you see what I see Way up in the sky, little lamb, do you see what I see A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear A song, a song, high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, do you know what I know In your palace warm, mighty king, do you know what I know A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold Said the king to the people everywhere, listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere! listen to what I say The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light

Young Church Nativity Prayer During prayer we will sing the Lords prayer Offering will be uplifted during this song. Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done On earth as in heaven Give us today our daily bread And forgive our sins As we forgive each one of those Who sins against us And lead us not to the time of trial But deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom The power and the glory Let all the people say Amen In every tribe and tongue Let every heart's desire be joined To see the kingdom come Let every hope and every dream Be born in love again Let all the world sing with one voice Let the people say Amen Let all the people say Amen In every tribe and tongue Let every heart's desire be joined To see the kingdom come Let every hope and every dream Be born in love again Let all the world sing with one voice Let the people say Amen SONG Down to earth He could have been born in a royal palace and called Your majesty Worn a crown of diamonds and lived in luxury But he was born in a dirty stable and laid on a bed of hay Not too many welcomed him on the very first Christmas Day He is down to earth He is down to earth The one who changed the world forever is down to earth He could have been friends with rich and famous, with big celebrities Had anything he wanted, living as he pleased But he made friends with the poor folks, with the sick and with the lame He helped them with their problems and he called them all by name

Chorus

He could have been full of his importance and felt so very grand His servants would have bowed and said your wish is my command But he wore a crown of thorns gave everything he had He gave his life that we might know the great love of his dad
