Merry Christmas Everyone!

December 25, 2012 by

I love this song! I share it with you on CHRISTmas because CHRISTmas isn’t about Santa or family or presents, but it’s also not just about baby Jesus or the wise men or the manger. It’s about our sin, it’s about God’s love, it’s about the blood that Jesus shed for us.

More than the beginning of the story, it’s about the cross. It’s the ending to the story on Resurrection Sunday that saves us.

CHRISTmas is only the beginning of Jesus’ story. He wasn’t just born for us, but He lived with us and died for us. That’s the love of our Lord and Savoir.

I pray you have had a blessed time this past month leading up to this day. Merry CHRISTmas from all of us here at Art of Eloquence to all of you!

Day 24: Amazing Grace

December 24, 2012 by

This is my all time favorite song! Amazing Grace here sung a capella  by the incredible angelic voice of LeAnn Rimes.

I have included this song all five years of the countdown. The crystal clear and rich voice she gives to this song gives me goosebumps.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found. Was blind, but now I see.

 

Merry CHRISTmas Eve! I’ll be back tomorrow with one more special video for you. Until then…

Day 23: Christmas Shoes

December 23, 2012 by

Today’s video is one that I can never get through without crying. The precious gift of a child for his mom who may meet Jesus tonight. It’s called The CHRISTmas Shoes and sung by Newsong.

The video is like a mini movie and just as precious as it could be to show the love of a child for his mother on CHRISTmas Eve.

This is the Love of Christ right in the heart of that little boy and how he shows the man in line behind him a glimpse into the kind of love that Jesus has for us.

Tomorrow is another great video. Until then…

Day 22: Little Drummer Boy

December 22, 2012 by

Only a few days left of the 6th Annual Video Countdown to CHRISTmas. Today I bring you the most musically interesting version of Little Drummer Boy by Jars of Clay.

I’m afraid the video isn’t very visually interesting, but I couldn’t find another with this version of this song. I absolutely adore the drums and rhythm. The harmony is quite different as well.

Coming up in the next few days are a few more incredible ways to worship and praise the Lord for the gift of CHRISTmas. Until then…

Day 21: Straight No Chaser Medley

December 21, 2012 by

It’s time again for Friday Funnies and one of my favorite CHRISTmas medleys is from Straight No Chaser. This is an all male a capella group with an amazing sense of humor.

Yes some of these are not CHRISTmas songs, but you will be giggling all the while! Making their sixth appearance here at the Art of Eloquence Video Countdown to CHRISTmas…12 Days of CHRISTmas…

Day 20: Christmas Offering

December 20, 2012 by

Another video making it’s second appearance here at the AoE countdown to CHRISTmas is Casting Crowns with CHRISTmas Offering.

I bring an offering of worship to my King. I thought about these words. As we juggle the crowds at the mall and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we need to stop not only to thank the Lord for the gift that Jesus has given us, but also to offer ourselves as a gift to Him. To worship and to allow Him to do with us what He wills.

We are winding down the countdown to CHRISTmas this year. Tomorrow is another in just a few more until we celebrate the most precious gift we have ever received: the free gift of salvation in Christ Jesus.

Day 19: Hope of the Broken World

December 19, 2012 by

Making it’s second appearance this year. This isn’t really a CHRISTmas song, but it’s one of my favorites from the group Selah. It’s called Hope of the Broken World and it speaks of why Jesus was born to die for us. Jesus is salvation, the joy of the earth and the hope of the broken world.

The Glory of the Lord is risen on Resurrection Sunday which we will celebrate in a few months, but first Jesus was born into the the world to be the hope of our salvation.

xx

I’ll have another great video to help us count down the days til CHRISTmas, the celebration of Jesus’ birth to be the hope of the broken world. Until then…

Day 16: Christmas Dreams

December 16, 2012 by

Making it’s second appearance here on the AoE video countdown to CHRISTmas is this very spiritual version of Carol of the Bells.

It’s by 2002 Music and from the album CHRISTmas Dreams.

The thing that struck me about this video is the snow. It’s shown in many forms, all beautiful. It reminds me about how different each snowflake is and how different each person is. When it shows the entire world, it reminds me that Christ died not only for me or for those who love Him, but for all of mankind.

Still more to come. Until tomorrow…
