Hi! A friend of mine is raising money for the Orlando Children's Church. Any gift of at least $25 gets RC Sproul's new book "The Lightlings" as a thank you gift. She made this video commercial and used two songs of mine that I wrote and recorded as background. So cool, because I wanted to post the songs as a Christmas gift to you all, but I didn't know how to do it! So Have a Blessed Christmas!!

The first song you will hear is "Bethlehem Ephrathah". (starts at 30 seconds)
The second song is one by Ben and Kevin Hofer.
The last song is mine also, "This Tree". Helped on the music by Ronny Cates.
Following are the lyrics to my two:
Bethlehem Ephrathah (Micah 5:2) by DE Lloyd
A flock
A fourish
An angel flight
Fear not
The Savior
Behold the Sign
A man
A maiden
A lonely place
The Babe
The manger
The gift of grace
CHORUS:
The soul that sees it's need
To heal the human flaw
Its search for peace will lead >>> (2) Will find the peace it seeks
to Bethlehem Ephrathah In Bethlehem Ephrathah
BGV's: You are by no means least among Judah
From you will come My governing ruler
(2x's)
A star
A journey
A prophet's tale
A king
The magi
A starlit trail
A dream
A warning
An ill intent
The Child
The offering
Messiah sent
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE: Creation holds it's breath with teary eyes
As a mother's sobs give way to baby cries
CHORUS 1, 2, BGV'S
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Tree by DE Lloyd, Music by DE Lloyd, Ronny Cates
No candy canes are hung
No sweetness on a bitter tongue
Red stripes will stain pale white
From whip and thorn, from spear and spike
No star atop this tree
Tho' darkness caused the sun to flee
His glory will not fade
Beneath the thorny woven braid
No fancy bulbs displayed
Instead receipt for payment made
Is hanging "Paid In Full"
There written on His fleshly scroll
CHO
This Tree
He trimmed for you
His gift
He paid your due
The Son uniquely born
In flesh adorned
The blessed First
There beaten, bruised, and torn
Our sin He mourned (2nd: The shame He scorned)
His heart lay burst
And on This Tree hung cursed
No angels greet the crowd
With joyful praises ringing loud
But stunned in silence hear
As foolish mockers blindly jeer
No manger scene below
Each piece in its appointed row
But there a Roman guard
"Surely this was the Son of God"
No tinsel wrapped about
But there clothed in His royal shroud
He took our sin for us
And robed us in His righteousness
CHO 2x's
