Tells the story of the Magi’s visit to Herod and the child Jesus, their return by a different route and a comparison to all gentiles seeking the Lord.

The flight to Egypt, the result of Herod’s wrath, and the settling in Nazareth. Through these prophesied events, God protected our interests by protecting his son.

Three unison stanzas tell of Jesus' trip to Jerusalem when he was twelve. The choir sings the refrain, which is repeated by the congregation:  A bulletin insert for the congregation is included.

Five unison stanzas relating the baptism of Jesus by John. These work well as solos in an adult choir, with a lively 4-part retrain.

Seven unison verses depict the temptation of the Christ by Satan. Minor key; haunting 3/4 tempo melody. Rhyming is not a priority here.

Jesus went up a mountainside and his disciples followed him. Upon that mountainside he taught, These words of wisdom: The Beatitudes follow. This song is in unison and the accompaniment is easy.

The basis for this two-part song is the Lord’s Prayer. It also reminds that God, as our father, gives good things to us and we should knock, ask and seek.

Unison parables connected with a brief refrain to define the meaning of parable. Stories are: The Good Samaritan, The Sower and the Soil, The Lost Sheep, Vineyard Workers, Following the Blind, the Speck and Beam.

The woman who anoints Jesus feet, wipes them with her hair and receives forgiveness because of her repentance and faith. Simple harmoney.

Based on Peter’s confession in John 6:68-69, this song begins with a recitation of the verse. There are three stanzas asking, Lord, where would we go?.. who would we be?.. what would we do? 

Three unison verses and a two-part refrain: Shining like the sun! Bright as lightning! Jesus had come, To show himself as God!
