Happiness

My name is Maiden Kasambai and I am going to sing for you songs for celebrations. When Jesus was born in salvation they have joy and they normally sing celebration songs:

A child was born, joy

Joy*2

A child was born, joy

Joy in Canaan joy

A child was born, joy

Joy*2

A child was born, joy

Joy in Canaan joy

We sing with joy, joy

Joy*2

We sing with joy, joy

Joy in Canaan joy

When Jesus was born joy

Joy*2

When Jesus was born joy

Joy in Canaan joy

Shepherds were looking after their herd at night*2

They saw light, great light*2

They were afraid and angel appeared to them*2

They saw and amazing star form the east

They saw light, great light*2

They were afraid and angel appeared to them*2

They visited the child and the mother and they gave him presents

They saw light, great light*2

They were afraid and angel appeared to them*2

He was on a manger without a bed

The only begotten son is Jesus

And the stars were looking after the place

Up where the child was sleeping

He was on a manger without a bed

The only begotten son is Jesus

And the stars were looking after the place

Up where the child was sleeping

The cows were mowing and the child woke up

He was happy and he laughed, he didn't cry

We love him fully and we will worship him

He takes care of us, the time when we are sleeping

The cows were mowing and the child woke up

He was happy and he laughed, he didn't cry

We love him fully and we will worship him

He takes care of us, the time when we are sleeping

Today we are praying that you stay with us

You take good care of years, years and us

Often times your children are following you

You take all of them they stay in heaven

Today we are praying that you stay with us

You take good care of years, years and us

Often times your children are following you

You take all of them they stay in heaven

Long time in those days, a word came out

To Caesar Augustine to quote

Joseph should not go to Bethlehem

Together with Mary his wife

While they were staying there Jesus was born

He was his first-born son

He slept where the cows feed

He didn't have a good place for sleeping

There were shepherds in that nation

And angel told them

Today your savior is Christ

Who was born in Bethlehem?

They ran fast and found

Mary, Joseph and the son

After seeing Jesus

They were told things that they will find on this child

The time when they heard it they were astonished

From the things that the shepherds were told

And Mary kept these words

She thought about it

This is the happy day, when I chose the lord Jesus

The heart is full of joy

To spread his word

Great day when I was born in the savior

He taught me how to pray

We are celebrating always

Great day

When I was born in the savior

It is happy day when I was forgiven sin

I am staying under Jesus

He is staying in my heart

Great day when I was born in the savior

He taught me how to pray

We are celebrating always

Great day

When I was born in the savior

He washed away all my sins

I am his child forever

He will lead as I follow

All the days of my life

Great day when I was born in the savior

He taught me how to pray

We are celebrating always

Great day

When I was born in the savior

I will use Jesus to spread his word

When his day comes

We shall look him face to face

Great day when I was born in the savior

He taught me how to pray

We are celebrating always

Great day

When I was born in the savior

Thank you.
