Video: "One Has Come"



The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Written by e-Mom. Follow me on Twitter. Subscribe in a Reader

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.

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."

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!
