Dear friends,

It has been almost a month since I last wrote to you.  A few days ago I
added "Pour Your Spirit Out Upon Me".  This song was started by Tom
Lascoe.  Larry Holder and I added the lyrics.

This week Larry and I have added a new Christmas song called "Sent From
The Heart Of God".  We are entering the holiday season and we felt moved
to write. 

Here are the lyrics...

=================================

(Verse 1)
Sent from the heart of God
Into the world of men,
Bringing Light to our darkened souls,
Giving life that will never end.
Leaving His royal throne,
Born as a lowly child,
Jesus came, giving all He had,
That our souls may be reconciled.

(Chorus)
Tell the world: He has come --
Our Savior, our Messiah!
By the wonder of His great plan,
Through His grace we are redeemed!
Spread the news: He has come --
Our Savior, our Messiah!
Turn your heart to receive Him now,
Jesus Christ, the King of kings!

(Verse 2)
Shepherds who saw the star
Came to behold their King.
Oh, the wonders they saw that night
When they heard the angels sing:
"Glory to God above,
Peace and goodwill to men".
Jesus opened the door to heav'n
That we all may enter in.

(Repeat Chorus)
