"Thank you, Lord - for giving us your Son"

Rom. 5:8 "Medan vi ännu var svaga dog Kristus i ogudaktigas ställe, när tiden var inne." but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (ESV)

Joh. 3:16 "Ty så älskade Gud världen att han utgav sin enfödde Son för att den som tror på honom inte skall gå förlorad utan ha evigt liv." For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (ESV)

"1 Kor 15:3-7 "Jag meddelade er det allra viktigaste, vad jag själv hade tagit emot, att Kristus dog för våra synder enligt Skrifterna, att han blev begravd, att han uppstod på tredje dagen enligt Skrifterna, och att han visade sig för Kefas och sedan för de tolv. Därefter visade han sig för mer än femhundra bröder på en gång, av vilka de flesta ännu lever, medan några är insomnade. Sedan visade han sig för Jakob och därefter för alla apostlarna."  For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,  that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles." (ESV)

"There is a Redeemer,
Jesus, God's own Son,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Holy One,

Thank you oh my Father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Til the work on Earth is done.

Jesus my Redeemer,
Name above all names,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Hope for sinners slain.

Thank you oh my Father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Til the work on Earth is done.

When I stand in Glory,
I will see His face,
There I'll serve my King forever,
In that Holy Place.

Thank you oh my Father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Til the work on Earth is done."




"Go tell it on the mountain" (Carola)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=F_tEIn9uPrM

"When I was a learner, I sought both night and day,
I asked the Lord to help me, and He showed med the way

Go tell it on the mountain; over the hills and
ev'rywhere. Go tell it on the mountains;
that Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching; o'er wandring flock by night:
Behold! From out of the Heavens there shone a holy night

He made me a watchman upon the city wall.
And if I am a Christian, I am the least of all

And so, when they had seen it, they all bowed down and prayed
Then they traveled on together, to where the Babe was laid."
