WHAT CHILD IS THIS?

Augustus decrees a census
An angel appears to Mary
A virgin becomes pregnant
Joseph yields to God

Immanuel is coming
A star in the east
Magi query Herod
Shepherds visited by Angels

Bethlehem center of the universe
No room in the inn
A stable in a cave, rags and trough
Christ the Lord is born

Magi worship
Gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh
Flee to Egypt
A dying king seeks to kill

Bible calls Him great
Son of the most high
Occupy David’s throne
Reigning over all

Jesus will save His people
The Word flesh
Living among us
Dying that we might be

He is a child given to us
Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace

ABUNDANCE

Lord I want to lead a worthwhile life
Help me on my journey
Evaluating, measuring, gauging
How do I know what is good?

Time moves so fast
Things seem to be it
Accumulating, amassing, owning
Do the most toys win?

Satisfaction always a step ahead
What delights fades with each days light
Night terrors, what ifs, despair
Help give me courage to see YOU

People count
The Word describes your interaction with mankind
Jesus died for us
Every thought you have towards me is a thought for good

Your Word encourages me
Your strength lifts me
Your love leads my way
Thank you Lord today

Relationship is the key
Abundance comes out of our friendship
Interaction, commitment, service
Putting others first changes me

Meeting needs
Dying to self
Submitting my life unto you
Equips me to live in abundance

Jesus is Lord
He calls me to the least
People need help
Lord use me

MILTON WILLIAMS

A good man
A giant of our faith
A bondservant of the Lord God
Jesus called him at an early age
Never veered from his faith
Loved Jesus everyday

Walking in Christ
The Word molded him
Milton lived to do the right thing
He loved his wife and two children
They were the center of his life
As Milton marched to the drumbeat of Christ

Faithful, generous and patient
Seeking diligently to help others
College students, seminarians and people in need
His pocketbook belonged to Jesus
So did his hands and feet
A good man, a giant of our faith

He walked with the power and authority of Jesus
Never failing to promote the kingdom
Always concerned for the lost
He cared for people
Sent by Jesus to do His work
At age 90 still concerned for the lost

Devoted, capable, unselfish
Strong, sensitive, skilled
Good cook, a good host, a good friend
Now with Jesus
“Well done” Christ said
We will see you soon my friend

A prince
No crown
Considered serving a joy

Faithful, trustworthy and true
A model you could follow

Each one of his children was special

They knew it

A business man, father
A servant
Wonderful husband
He is home with Jesus
Home with his precious wife

SYBIL ELIZABETH ELLIS HAMM

Fearless and faithful wife of Bill Hamm
Who was waiting for her with Christ
A capable and loving mother
She never ever accepted “that’s how things are”
Her focus was to “make things the way they should be”

Her heart was in her Christ like life
Energetic, hard working, determined
She accomplished much
Her focus: Christ, church, family, friends
Sybil was excited about life

Adventurous, wise and discerning
Very little slipped past her
Always alert to help, to encourage
Sybil was an unusually good listener
Now she is waiting and listening for us with Jesus

We cannot disguise our heartache
Her absence leaves us missing
We treasure her memory
We celebrate a friend, a mother
What a great time she had living for Jesus

REMEMBERING RICHARD ALAN DAY

My heart weeps for Alan Day
We miss him in New Orleans
Edmond is brought to its knees
Southern Baptist are hurting
Alan has gone to his Father
Lord we miss him here on earth

Brilliant communicator
Trusted God’s inerrant Word
Filled with Jesus
Taught God’s Word
Willingly, patiently shared Christ
All things are possible with Jesus

Obstacles were things he reveled in surmounting
He knew Christ had a job for him to do
Alan felt his place was with his church
A shepherd, a spiritual leader like no other
Beloved, a friend you could count on
His church will miss his steady hand

Our hearts weep for Alan Day
He was a devoted father
Building his family with his lovely and loving wife
Investing his heart and soul
He was a daily example
His children lived his teaching

A mighty man of God
He faithfully served
His life is being celebrated today
Heaven rejoices over Alan’s life
Lord we release him to You
But we will not forget Richard Alan Day
