The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

This short video will make you laugh and cry! Written and produced by an extraordinary American missionary family in Haiti, the Livesays, the clip includes seven of their children.
In a touching dramatization of the Nativity story, you'll recognize a tired Mary and tender Joseph. Live animals add believability, and the clear, sweet voice of the Livesay's young daughter Hope (the angel) is truly memorable.
Take a minute to watch. (And to read all 79 comments.) You'll want to play it one more time. And again, please... 7:18 mins.
NOTE: I have posted the song lyrics in the comment box.

Wow. Just wow.
That was wonderful!!!! I can't believe that little girl is only 7, she has an amazing voice! I would love to have a recording of that song. Loved every second of the video.
Here are the lyrics...
ONE HAS COME
by Troy Livesay
This will be a sign to you, a baby will be born
Emmanuel has come to dwell with the weary and forlorn
We have fallen far from where we were meant to be
But one has come to right the wrongs, and set the captives free
Glory to God in the highest, Glory to God in the highest
He has redeemed us, He is our Savior - He came as a baby, born in a manger
Glory to God – Glory to God
And on earth, there will be peace, good will toward men
Unto you is born this day the son of God most high
He’ll become a King that will wipe the tears from every eye
Do not be afraid of this good news He came to share
The glory of the Lord has come – the way has been prepared
Glory to God in the highest, Glory to God in the highest .... and on earth, there will be peace, good will toward men.

"Love it. I follow the Livesay's. My husband went to Haiti on a Missions trip to help them out a couple years ago. Now our church is very involved with them and a new ministry called Ebenezer Discipleship Training Center, which is teaching the pastors of Haiti."
That was so sweet. Thanks for sharing it.
I LOVED this!!!! THanks for sharing that....hard to believe she is only 7!!
great gift from above indeed.
April, Kim, Barbara H., Faith, & Gemini: I'm so glad you took a few minutes to watch. Wasn't it a HUGE blessing? ((Hugs))
I know the Livesay's. My mother, my son, my oldest daughter and myself all stayed with them last summer (2008) in Haiti. They are a beautiful family!
Smiles!
Jennifer: Really? You're kidding. Small world. I'd love to hear more about your time w/ the Livesays. :~D
