Hello everyone,

The Christmas season is approaching fast.  The following new materials
have been added to "Songs of Praise" in the last few days:

(1) A new praise song, "The Teardrops Fell".  This song features
    lyrics by Joe Medrek and music by myself.  It is featured on
    the Songs of Praise homepage and the lyrics are listed later in 
    this email.  Be sure and visit Joe's web site (Throne Words).
    He has lots of great poetry online.  He is located at:

(2) No new Christmas songs today, but I have added a Christmas play
    by Leona Plymate of Oklahoma called "A Christmas Gift Sent 
    Special Delivery".  The entire play is available on our 
    Christmas page at:

        http://songsofpraise.org/christmas.htm

(3) 2 new French translations have been added to our translation
    page:

    - "Vivre avec Jésus" (At Home With Jesus) and
    - "Vers toi monte mon âme" (My Soul's Desire)

    These were sent by Yvon Haché, a priest in Canada.  Please 
    visit our translation page at:

(4) I have updated the referral software on all my pages so it is
    easier to tell all your friends about Songs of Praise.

Here are the lyrics to "The Teardrops Fell"

(Verse 1)
There in the garden Jesus cried alone,
The teardrops fell
With thoughts of you in mind.
It was for you that Jesus bled and died,
A love so kind,
Come share His sacrifice.

(Chorus)
The Love of God
Came down to man,
A part of His
Most holy plan,
Come put your life
Into His hands,
Into those rugged
Nailed scarred hands.

(Verse 2)
Out from the garden to the cross He went,
The teardrops fell
With thoughts of you in mind.
It was for you that Jesus bled and died,
A love so kind,
Come share His sacrifice.

(Repeat chorus 2 times)
The Love of God
Came down to man,
A part of His
Most holy plan,
Come put your life
Into His hands,
Into those rugged
Nailed scarred hands.

(Ending)
It was for you that Jesus bled and died,
He died for you,
Come share His sacrifice.
He died for you,
Come share His sacrifice.
