Listen to your heart.
Do what it tells you.
You'll find your way.
[Applause, Cheering]
[Applause Continues]
[Jeremiah] Hark!
I hear Joseph and Mary in the manger.
[Louder] Hark!
I hear Joseph and Mary in the manger.
[Laughter]
[Yelling] Hark!
I hear Joseph and Mary in the manger.
- Where's Joseph and Mary?
- [Laughter]
Ohhh.
[Applause Continues]
[Sighs]
[Bleating]
See the infant, meek and mild.
[Together]
He is God's anointed child.
So celebrate this Christmas morn.
[Together]
For on this day, His son is born!
% % [Intro]
Julia.
I wanted to see you
to say good-bye.
No, no. I'll call the council
and tell them that we still need you.
Well, this is over
the council's head.
Way over their head.
Besides, it's time.
How can it be time?
It just is.
It's funny, you know,
I spent the last 30 years...
thinking I'd be happy
if I could just get back to this place.
Here? The council must send you
to some dead neighborhoods.
[Chuckles]
Well, dead is relative.
But now I know where I belong.
Is this because of me?
No. Mmm.
Well, maybe just a little bit.
You remember when you
asked me what you do...
when the flame between
two people goes out?
Yes.
The answer is:
You don't let it.
Will we ever see you again?
I don't know.
Well, let's see.
No. Not again.
[Laughs]
[Sighs]
% Or maybe a fisherman%
% Out on the sea%
% % [Continues, Indistinct]
- How can I thank you?
- You already have.
- God bless you.
- Thank you.
% Who would imagine%
% A king%
% It was so clear%
- Mrs. Biggs, here!
- Jessica, you still have
more songs to sing.
I'm wet.
Who would use
Baby Wet Wet for Jesus?
Mrs... Biggs, our Virgin Mary bailed!
People are gonna know
that's not in the Bible. Do something!
You better get out there.
[Sighs]
% % [Singing Continues]
% That the world
would be different%
% 'Cause you were alive%
% That's when heaven stood still%
% To proclaim%
% One day an angel%
% Said quietly%
% That soon he would bring%
% And of all of
the wonderful gifts%
% He could bring%
% Who would imagine%
% Who could imagine%
% Who would imagine%
% A king% %
- [Applause]
- Thank you.
Hurry up.
Come on.
- Mommy, was I good?
- Oh! The best donkey.
I'll do it.
- [Laughs]
- Not bad, man.
Oh, yes!
"Christmas is supposed to be...
"the most joyous day of the year.
[Congregation]
Amen!
But for St. Matthew's, today is..."
[Congregation Murmuring]
"For St. Matt's...
today is supposed..."
[Murmuring Continues]
Beloved...
a perfect life.
Amen!
He's saving that
for the hereafter.
- Oh, no!
- Amen!
While we're here on...
on this Earth...
there's some things
we just got to work for.
- [Congregation] Yeah!
- He's not following the script.
- He's doing fine.
- It could be a job.
- Uh-huh.
- It could be a church.
- Amen!
- It could be a community.
- Amen!
- Could be a marriage.
- Amen!
But the good news is...
is that He gave us...
two secret weapons
to help us to succeed.
- Hope...
- Hope!
- And love.
- And love!
- Hope.
- Hope.
- That's all a prayer is.
- [Congregation Agreeing]
- And love.
- Love!
- Loving is giving...
- Yeah!
- Pure and simple.
- Amen!
But in love,
there is also forgiveness.
- [Murmuring]
- And forgiveness...
belongs to everyone.
- It's a right.
- Yeah!
- Like a right to breathe or eat.
- Yeah!
Or even to fall in love.
Amen!
Sometimes we...
we take love for granted.
- [Congregation Agreeing]
Those who are nearest to us...
dearest to us...
those are the ones
we forget to cherish.
But the miracle is...
when we love someone...
[Congregation Murmuring]
Look in wonder at those you love...
for they are the face of God.
- Hallelujah.
- Hallelujah.
And when the path is dark...
- Amen.
- And the road bends...
we will let the Lord show us the way.
- He will give us heart
and make us whole.
- Amen!
You see, I know... because He did me!
- Yeah!
- You may ask me, "How?"
[All]
How?
You see, He's...
[Murmuring]
You see,
He's got these angels...
- Yeah.
- Waitin' on this long line...
for the chance to come down
and help each and every one of us!
- And they do!
- Yes!
So you see, beloved,
today I am truly blessed.
- Blessed with hope,
- Hope!
- Blessed with love...
- Love!
And blessed with a belief
that I can make a difference!
- [Cheering]
- All of us can!
We can save this church!
- Yeah!
- He's got a point.
- We will help our poor!
- Oh, yes!
- We will help our young!
- All right!
- And our lonely and our needy!
- [Congregation Agreeing]
So now let us begin again.
Let us go forward.
- Forward in hope, forward in love...
- Hope! Love!
And forward into
the new days of our lives!
Put your hands together
and praise God!
- Whoo!
- [Applause]
Praise Him! Hallelujah!
