In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

You draw the hearts of shepherds
You draw the hearts of kings
Even as a baby
You were changing ev'rything
You called me to Your kingdom
Before Your lips could speak
And even as a baby
You were reaching out for me

And now we are awaiting
The day of Your return
When ev'ry eye will see You
As heaven comes to earth
Until the sky is opened
Until the trumpet sounds
The bride is getting ready
The Church is singing out

Verse 3
Come Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee
Come Thou long expected King

Questions for Discussion from todays sermon:

Mary, Joseph, and Jesus lacked the qualifications required to enter the holiest parts of the temple. Discuss the humble Jesus.
Jesus did not spend much of his life in Jerusalem. Why do you think he spent relatively little time there?

How did Mary balance the joy of being the mother of Jesus with knowing she would experience pain like a sword through her heart?

Discuss the significance of calling Jesus the savior for all Jews and non Jews.
