He came not to a throne,

but to a manger.

He lived not as a king,

but as a servant.

He chose not a kingdom,

but a cross.

He gave not just a little,

but everything.

by Holley Gerth

This year the children will be doing a Christmas program for FBC, Roquetas, a Nigerian church here in Spain. They will be saying this famous Christmas poem…

What Can I Give Him?

By Christina Rossetti

What can I give Him,

Poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd,

I would bring a lamb.

If I were a Wise Man,

I would do my part,

Yet what can I give Him?

Give my heart.

Welcome to Our World

At Christmas time we remember the birth of Christ. This profound song by Chris Rice helps me to focus on, and worship the King who came as a baby to save the nations.

Welcome to Our World

by Chris Rice

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking

How we need to hear from God

You’ve been promised

We’ve been waiting

Welcome holy child

Welcome holy child

Hope that you don’t mind our manger

How I wish we would have known

The long awaited holy stranger

Make yourself at home

Please make yourself at home

Bring your peace into our violence

Bid our hungry souls be feed

Word now breaking heaven’s silence

Welcome to our world

Welcome to our world

Fragile fingers sent to heal us

Tender brow prepared for thorn

Tiny heart whose blood will save us

Unto us is born

Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around you

Breathe our air and walk our sod

Rob our sin and make us holy

Perfect son of God

Perfect son of God

Welcome to our world
