Our background MIDI is
"The Baby Of Bethlehem",
written by Ralph Merrifield,
arranged by Michael L. Jester (from Florida)
New lyrics by Kay Moreland
Ralph,
you are blessed with such talent. I was first introduced to your
music
and the New Hope web site when I was writing our Sunday School Christmas
Eve
program for my church, Immanuel Lutheran in Orange, California. I was
researching Christmas music and came across your site. I fell in love with "The
Baby of Bethlehem"
and the music played in my ear for days after.
I
am on the School Board of our church school and thought it would be nice
to
have a song that would capture the essence of our church and school. Maybe
even put it on our web site which needs revamping. I was trying to come up with a
catchy name/slogan
and "Our Family Immanuel" seemed perfect. Using your tune, I
wrote these words:
OUR FAMILY IMMANUEL
1. We welcome you to our church home
Where palm trees frame a graceful dome.
Our beauty lies inside as well
Our family Immanuel
Our family Immanuel
2. We may be small in number, true
But one on one we’ll share with you
The love of God which sees us through
Our family Immanuel
Our family Immanuel
BRIDGE:
We gather as brothers and sisters
Embracing the Trinity,
Through stained glass the Son is shining
On our big family!
3. Our school greets all into its fold
The cross of Christ they proudly hold
Mid banners draped in blue and gold.
Our family Immanuel
Our family Immanuel
4. One thing will ever stay the same:
His presence we may always claim,
Because “God with Us” is our name!
Our family Immanuel
Our family Immanuel
BRIDGE:
We gather as brothers and sisters
Embracing the Trinity,
Through stained glass the Son is shining
On our big family!
REPEAT VERSE 4
Our family Immanuel
Our family Immanuel
Our family Immanuel
