full lyrics below
boy:
movie.. catch me if you can.. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71rDQ7z4eFg] goes thru professions w/o credentials..hard to know who to root for.. con or brother..do we feel like frank..? always that accuser.. you’ve done wrong
xmas in the land – rev 12- peace
rev as tied to current events.. but should be rev and ot.. rev has more refs of ot than rest of nt .. how jesus always did and always will be conquering world
gen 3:22-23.. why not stay in garden.. has to be something better to hope for
gen 4:10-12 – restless wanderer on earth.. that’s what sin does to us.. says catch me if you can
war on earth. 1-6
war in heaven 7-12
story read in past- advent monologue.. ugly scared
next/complimentary story.. to cross the gulf from life alone to life beloved.. you are seen and you know it .. how rich are you in your illusions.. you can’t love your imaginings .. he loves you not because you are lovable
available to anyone.. only stipulation is must undress.. give up all holding onto to be beautiful
this story is the totality of the redemption story.. nothing we can say to make it more beautiful.. so just say.. snatched up
in this earth/ wilderness going to be tough.. dragon pursuing us.. but not permanent
isaiah 40:1-5 voice calling in the desert .. prepare for way of lord.. he’s made a way thru the treachery we call life
i long for the day for that.. not to have that reality
isaiah:1-7
this battle has never been physical
i long for the day when my lust is gone.. my anger.. malice.. envy is gone.. my greed.. pride.. weariness..sorrow.. pain.. every tear wiped away.. i long for the day
and there will be no end to that reality
that’s just the war on earth
war in heaven 7-12
hurled down from heaven.. job imagery.. saying satan kept that position.. satan had some claim to this.. we deserved death.. but god told satan.. no.. those accusers are wrong.. you are my dear child and i love you
in despair i bow my head there is no peace on earth i said.. but
gk beale: serpent begins battle on body only after lost battles of their souls
song.. on psalms.. even dragons shall praise him.. every single knee.. depression shame every one

Come all you weary and burdened
This Light shall your gladness increase
A Son has been given to free us
Come rest in the Prince of Peace
For a child has been born to the nations
His Kingdom it ever shall be
And the shadow of death has been broken
And hope has its victory
Prince of Peace
Wonderful Counselor – Emmanuel
Prince of Peace
Word of The Father now coming to dwell
And all our oppression shall cease
In The Sweet Prince of Peace
We carried a load much to heavy to bear
So we cried out in sorrow and pain
But then came the light we could see everywhere
And joy filled our hearts again
Prince of Peace
Wonderful Counselor – Emmanuel
Prince of Peace
Word of The Father now coming to dwell
And all our oppression shall cease
In The Sweet Prince of Peace
He will break off the yoke of our slavery
Weighing heavy with sin’s grave disease
He is gentle and offers a respite
In a yoke you can carry with ease
Prince of Peace
Wonderful Counselor – Emmanuel
Prince of Peace
Word of The Father now coming to dwell
Prince of Peace
Wonderful Counselor – Emmanuel
Prince of Peace
Word of The Father now coming to dwell
And all our oppression shall cease
And all our oppression shall cease
And all our oppression shall cease
In The Sweet Prince of Peace

… I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
Of peace on Earth, good will to men… And the bells are ringing (peace on Earth)
Like a choir they’re singing (peace on Earth)
In my heart I hear them (peace on Earth)
Peace on Earth, good will to men… And in despair I bowed my head
“There is no peace on Earth, ” I said
For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on Earth, good will to men… But the bells are ringing (peace on Earth)
Like a choir singing (peace on Earth)
Does anybody hear them? (Peace on Earth)
Peace on Earth, good will to men… Then rang the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
(Peace on Earth)
(Peace on Earth)
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on Earth, good will to men… Then ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on Earth, good will to men… And the bells, they’re ringing (peace on Earth)
Like a choir they’re singing (peace on Earth)
And with our hearts, we’ll hear them (peace on Earth)
Peace on Earth, good will to men… Do you hear the bells, they’re ringing? (Peace on Earth)
The light, the angels singing (peace on Earth)
Open up your heart and hear them (peace on Earth)
Peace on Earth, good will to men… Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth, good will to men

from 12.7.25 talk.. most listened to song of 25:
[Chorus: Thomas Austin, Thomas Austin & Chris Renzema]
But it doesn’t come when I call it
Or stay when I want it
Go to waste when I spill it
Or die when I kill it
And I never do expect it
I never could protect it
It’s nothing like I thought that it would be
Oh, it’s the laughing and the crying
The living and the dying
Peace, peace, peace
