Nov 30 Thankfulness Photo - Christmas Carols

Wow! I did it! I shot and posted 30 photos for November! I am throughly proud of myself and truly amazed at a few of the shots I got with my camera. I'm finishing off November with a glimpse into my December - Christmas Carols! I will be on the road tomorrow headed home to Missouri and ready to pull out the Christmas decor, music, and merriness! 

I am thankful for Christmas carols, no other holiday has so many good songs to sing during it's peak. (No other holiday lasts so long either) I love how Christ centered they are, many of our hymns and songs can become too "problematic us" centered. Really Christmas songs should be sung all year round, they are so good!

Here is my favorite Christmas carol written by Ron Hamilton…

            Born to Die

On the night Christ was born
Just before the break of morn,
As the stars in the sky were fading,
O'er the place where He lay,
Fell a shadow cold and gray
Of a cross that would humble a King.


Chorus
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
He was wounded that I might live.


Jesus knew when He came
He would suffer in shame,
He could feel ev'ry pain and sorrow.
But He left Paradise,
With His blood He paid the price -
My redemption to Jesus I owe.



Chorus
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
He was wounded that I might live.


From His throne Jesus came,
Laid aside Heaven's fame
In exchange for the cross of Calv'ry;
For my gain suffered loss,
For my sin He bore the cross -
He was wounded and I was set free.



Chorus
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
He was wounded that I might live.


Dearest Lord, evermore
May Thy cross I adore
As I follow the path to Calv'ry;
Of Thy death I partake,
My ambition I forsake -
All my will I surrender to Thee.



Chorus
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
He was wounded that I might live.




Thank you for all who joined me this November in my trek of photography and remembering Thankfulness. I learned from myself this month and found many theme's challenging. I will not be continuing to post everyday or even to post pictures, but please drop by occasionally as I will be continuing with other things. (I just haven't decided what quite yet!)
