Day 5: Third Day's Angels We Have Heard on High

Third Day's Angels We Have Heard on High is day five's contribution to the countdown. Wish I could find a better version where the last note isn't cut off, but this is one of my favorite versions. I love to see what contemporary Christian bands do with the old standards. They relate better with the young people and give them a new way to sing to the Lord and find the music to bless others. I also love how they give the audience a chance to sing. I love to sing, especially these beautiful songs about what God has done. What about you? x Tomorrow is another day and another video...until then... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If you liked this post, read…Seven Reasons...

Day 4: Enya's O Come O Come Emmanuel

Day four of the Video Countdown to CHRISTmas brings us to Enya's O Come O Come Emmanuel. Angelically beautiful version. I love the choral harmony as well. I've had this one on the countdown for all six years. It just wouldn't be the Countdown without it. How many times have we been able to make a joyful noise so beautifully to the Lord? I love to sing along and become one with the choir. By myself, I may sound nice, but with the choir, I feel so much more. Isn't that the way it is when we come together as brothers and sisters in the Lord? x Let's all come together this day and make a joyful noise unto the...

Day 3: Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Canon/On This Very Night

Here is the Trans Siberian Orchestra's CHRISTmas Canon and On This Very CHRISTmas Night. What a blessing these people have in store for those who drive or walk by! We haven't put up outside lights in several years due to a bad accident my husband had falling off a ladder the last time he did it. And it can be an expensive way to celebrate this joyous HOLYday, but for those who can do so, it gives the rest of us such joy! x ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If you liked this post, read…Seven Reasons Why YOU Should Sign Up for the Art of Eloquence Newsletter!

Day 2: Selah's Silent Night

Today's video in the countdown is a one of the most beautiful I've seen. A visual delight as well as a musical one. This is a short ballet to the song Silent Night as sung by Selah. Their rendition is extraordinarily packed with the reverence for the Lord and the video is a sight to behold. What a wondrous way to stop and think on the Lord and what He has done for us. What He gave up for us. And what He continues to do for us.   Enjoy this gorgeous video as you reflect on the Lord. Tomorrow I'll have another wonderful video that will help us all keep Christ in our CHRISTmas. Until then... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If you...

6th Annual Art of Eloquence Video Countdown to CHRISTmas!

The 6th Annual Art of Eloquence Video Countdown to CHRISTmas starts today! Music video is a powerful form of communication. We can use it to worship, to express ourselves and to share the love of God. My goal, again, this CHRISTmas is to help put Christ back in our CHRISTmas by sharing 25 of my most favorite CHRISTmas videos with you. This first one is one I discovered last year called Where's the Line to See Jesus? It shares my feeling, and that of many other Christians today, that our society has commercialized this blessed holiday to the point were we don't even know what it's all about anymore. Though there are many Christmas movies during this holiday season, there...
