Lyrics
I have a fam’ly here on earth.
They are so good to me.
I want to share my life with them through all eternity.
Fam’lies can be together forever
Through Heav’nly Father’s plan.
I always want to be with my own family,
And the Lord has shown me how I can.
The Lord has shown me how I can.
While I am in my early years,
I’ll prepare most carefully,
So I can marry in God’s temple for eternity.

Lyrics: George Manwaring
Music: Sylvanus Billings Pond
1. Oh, how lovely was the morning!
Radiant beamed the sun above.
Bees were humming, sweet birds singing,
Music ringing thru the grove,
When within the shady woodland
Joseph sought the God of love,
When within the shady woodland
Joseph sought the God of love.
2. Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing—
’Twas the boy’s first uttered prayer—
When the pow’rs of sin assailing
Filled his soul with deep despair;
But undaunted, still he trusted
In his Heav’nly Father’s care,
But undaunted, still he trusted
In his Heav’nly Father’s care.
3. Suddenly a light descended,
Brighter far than noonday sun,
And a shining, glorious pillar
O’er him fell, around him shone,
While appeared two heav’nly beings,
God the Father and the Son,
While appeared two heav’nly beings,
God the Father and the Son.
4. “Joseph, this is my Beloved;
Hear him!” Oh, how sweet the word!
Joseph’s humble prayer was answered,
And he listened to the Lord.
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God,
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God.

Written by Nathan Schaumann and Leila Moore
Lyrics:
The bitter cold of night drove on,
With humble Joseph's foot upon
The winding road that led from Galilee.
In Bethlehem a stranger
Lay in a lowly manger,
The Savior there was born for you and me.
In service all His life was spent,
To rich and poor alike He went,
And testified that like Him we can be.
If we love one another,
And treat him as our brother,
The Savior showed the way for you and me.
Then on the cross was lifted up,
And would he not partake the cup,
But Father, all the glory unto Thee.
The price of death was paid,
Three days His body laid,
The Savior bled and died for you and me.
The message of the barren tomb,
The one that kept this Jesus whom
We now invite the world to come and see,
Has risen from the grave,
Our sinful lives to save,
And lovingly He says come, follow me.
A matchless plan unfurled,
For God so loved the world,
He sent His Son to come and set us free.
And though I can't repay Him,
His witness I will be:
The Savior lives again for You and Me.

Lyrics:
Many nights we've prayed.
With no proof anyone could hear.
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood,
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could...
*Chorus*
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
With heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
*Chorus*
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
*Middle part*
A-shir-ra I'a-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah

Lyrics:
I've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I knew is over
The lights are out
Hello, darkness
I'm ready to succumb
I follow you around
I always have
But you've gone to a place I cannot find
This grief has a gravity
It pulls me down
But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
"You are lost, hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing"
Can there be a day beyond this night?
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you
How to rise from the floor
When it's not you I'm rising for?
Just do the next right thing
Take a step, step again
It is all that I can to do
The next right thing
I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that I can make
So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn, what comes then
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again?
Then I'll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing
Song starts at 1:20

In this world I walk alone with no place to call my home
But there's One who holds my hand
The rugged road through barren lands
The way is dark, the road is steep
But He's become my eyes to see
The strength to climb, my griefs to bear
This Savior lives inside me there
In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee
In these trials of life I find
Another Voice inside my mind
He comforts me and bids me live
Inside the love the Father gives
In your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee
I Believe In Christ

Lyrics:
I lived in heaven a long time ago, it is true;
Lived there and loved there with people I know. So did you.
Then Heav’nly Father presented a beautiful plan,
All about earth and eternal salvation for man.
Father said he needed someone who had enough love
To give his life so we all could return there above.
There was another who sought for the honor divine.
Jesus said, “Father, send me, and the glory be thine.”
Jesus was chosen, and as the Messiah he came,
Conquering evil and death through his glorious name,
Giving us hope of a wonderful life yet to be
Home in that heaven where Father is waiting for me.

Lyrics:
Mary, Mary, loving Mary, hold Him in your arms,
The baby resting there; God’s Son is in your care.
Mary, Mary, loving Mary, hold Him in your arms,
And take Him somewhere safe and warm.
Joseph, Joseph, guardian Joseph, hold Him in your arms.
The boy you seek to find is teaching all mankind.
Joseph, Joseph, guardian Joseph, hold Him in your arms,
And take Him somewhere safe and warm.
Angel, Angel, heav’nly Angel, hold Him in your arms.
The Savior’s on His knees there in Gethsemane.
Angel, Angel, heav’nly Angel, hold Him in your arms,
And take Him somewhere safe and warm.
Jesus, Jesus, Holy Jesus, hold me in your arms.
The world is dark as night; I need your guiding light.
Jesus, Jesus, Holy Jesus, hold me in your arms,
And take me somewhere safe and warm.

Original song written by Joanne Bushman Doxey and Norma B. Smith
Where love is, there God is also.
Where love is, we want to be.
Guide us, his truths to follow;
Help us obey him faithfully.
Where love is, there God is also.
We think of him rev’rently.
Teach us to pray, to talk with him above
And know that he will guide us with his love.
The comfort of loving arms around us,
A song that makes us want to sing,
The happiness we feel when love has found us,
’Tis love we get when love we bring.
Where love is, there God is also.
And with him we want to be.
Show us the way and guide us tenderly
That we may dwell with him eternally.
This is one of our favorites from our livestream concert a couple months ago. Enjoy the beautiful Armenian language!
It amazes me that so much of the greatest music in the world was written by those who firmly believed in God as our loving Heavenly Father, and used their God-given talents to express their devotion to Him.

Lyrics
1. I am a child of God,
And he has sent me here,
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.
[Chorus]
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.
2. I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand his words
Before it grows too late.
3. I am a child of God.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do his will,
I’ll live with him once more.

Lyrics:
Cast your burden on the Lord,
and He will make it light
Come unto Him, ye heavy laden;
find your rest in Christ
Bring Him your sorrows, all your grief
Lay every weakness at His feet
He will sustain you, give you peace
And lead you into life
Cast your burden on the Lord
and He will heal your soul
Place on His altar all your sin
and He will bear its toll
Bring Him your blindness born of pride
Give Him your broken heart to bind
It was for this He bled and died:
That He might make you whole
Cast your burden on the Lord
And He will carry you home
He will attend you and defend
Through perils yet unknown
Put your unwavering trust in Him
Christ, your constant heavenly friend
Has graven you in the palms of His hands
And never forsakes his own

This song is a beautiful tribute to and message for those of us who struggle with darkness. Some feel alone. Some feel unloved. Some feel directionless. Some deal with depression and anxiety. Some feel fleeting pockets of darkness interspersed with long stretches of light. Some haven't seen any light in a very long time. But there is always someone we can turn to. He is Jesus.
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
Any step we take towards the Savior is a good step. Any action we take in an attempt to be more like him is a good action.

Lyrics:
I've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I knew is over
The lights are out
Hello, darkness
I'm ready to succumb
I follow you around
I always have
But you've gone to a place I cannot find
This grief has a gravity
It pulls me down
But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
"You are lost, hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing"
Can there be a day beyond this night?
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you
How to rise from the floor
When it's not you I'm rising for?
Just do the next right thing
Take a step, step again
It is all that I can to do
The next right thing
I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that I can make
So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn, what comes then
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again?
Then I'll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing
