Savior of the Nations

           Savior of the nations, come, Virgin’s Son, make here Your home!

            Marvel now, O heav’n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth.

Dear Savior of the Nations, Lord Jesus Christ:

You have come down from heaven to make your home among us, Oh Savior! We praise and thank you for being the loving and gracious God you are. We praise you for your goodness and always willing spirit to forgive and love us! You came to earth because you love us and we praise your birth as we celebrate Christmas.

We need a savior. Our sinful condition begs for forgiveness. You came to earth through the virgin Mary, lived a perfect life, died and rose to give us that forgiveness. We praise and thank you for that forgiveness of sins now and forever!

Thank you for coming to earth us the form of a human so that you could experience our humanity. Thank you for living that perfect life so that we can experience your divinity in heaven one day! Thank you for Christmas where we get to marvel at the story of your birth and be ever-grateful!

Savior, be with us all over the Christmas holidays. Keep everyone safe. Bring your Word into the lives of all those around. Help us to worship you in grace and truth. We love you Jesus!

Amen


1. Savior of the nations, come, Virgin’s Son, make here Your home!

            Marvel now, O heav’n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth.
 
            2. Not by human flesh and blood, By the Spirit of our God,
            Was the Word of God made flesh—Woman’s offspring, pure and fresh.
 
            3. Here a maid was found with child, Yet remained a virgin mild.
            In her womb this truth was shown: God was there upon His throne.
 
            4. Then stepped forth the Lord of all / From His pure and kingly hall;
            God of God, yet fully man, His heroic course began.
 
            5. God the Father was His source, Back to God He ran His course.
            Into hell His road went down, Back then to His throne and crown.
 
            6. For You are the Father’s Son / Who in flesh the vict’ry won.
            By Your mighty pow’r make whole / All our ills of flesh and soul.
 
            7. From the manger newborn light / Shines in glory through the night.
            Darkness there no more resides; In this light faith now abides.
 
            8. Glory to the Father sing, Glory to the Son, our king,
            Glory to the Spirit be / Now and through eternity.         -- LSB 332

Love with Action

  "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." I John 3:18 Dear Lord Jesus, You have loved us with the ultimate love. We praise and thank you for showing your love through your death and resurrection. You loved with the ultimate action and truth. We adore you for always putting us first. We belong to you O Lord! Although you have always loved us, we have strayed. We confess our sins of wrong-doing, neglect, and outright betrayal of your truth. Help us O Lord to seek you. Forgive us. Renew us. Lead us through our confession into repentance and then forgiveness through your great love. Thank you Lord Jesus for the blessings we see and those that you provide and we know nothing about. Thank you for always loving and caring for us. We especially thank you for our Korean friends that were here. Great God, we ask you for your help and blessings for our school, students, teachers, and families. Bless our learning and worship here at school. Be

Perfect Love!

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” - 1 John 4:18 Dear Father, Thank you for your loving care over us. In these uncertain times, grant us your peace and comfort that will pass all of our understanding. Amidst the coronavirus, may Your name be exhausted and hailed above all others. While some turn to fear, may we turn to You, Father. Above all else, may our minds and hearts be turned to you. Father, we implore you to turn this virus around and eradicate it. As the creator of the universe, you hold everything the palm of your hand and we ask that you bring this virus to it's end as soon as possible. Please be with those who are sick, from any illness, and heal them. Especially, be with those worldwide who are sick with COVID-19. Help to heal them quickly! Father, you know what is best for us and we pray that you would bring about calm and peace to each of our hom

Goodness from God

"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:5-8 Dear Jesus Christ, We magnify your name in all the earth! The far reaches of your creation proclaim your name. We see your goodness in your creation and praise and thank you for all that you have given us, your dearly loved children. We are thankful for Lord Jesus for the love and forgiveness that you give us daily. Your law reminds us that we are but sinful humans, but through your death and resurrection, we are cleansed. Thank you for your forgiveness and love. Thank you for always giving us what we need at the right moment. Although we may
