When the children were growing up, I think in the Christmas of 2006, I made a Christmas Cantata for our Cell Group in K. Lumpur. It was performed by the children in our cell group at our Christmas party at the home of our host family. There was no time to practice so I prepared my two older children to read the narration parts, we practiced the songs before hand and played the tape for everyone to follow at the performance, and the rest was participated by the other children and all the adults, too. I just made many copies so anyone who can read can participate. The songs were in a tape which is still here but we have no tape player anymore. But the script of that Cantata is pasted in one of my diaries:

Yeshua (Jesus)
Two
thousand years ago, in the small town of Bethlehem, a baby boy was born
to a poor traveling couple. Many babies are born every day but this
one was special. For thousands of years long before His birth, the
prophets spoke of Him. The prophecies were recorded and compiled by
scribes. Later, His life and teachings were also written by His
apostles. All those writings have now been put together into a book.
Today we call that book the Bible. This book has changed the lives of
millions. Who was this Baby?
His birth brought joy to the world but sorrow as well. His birth caused the death of other babies. He had to flee for His life. This child was set for the fall and rising again of many; a sign which would be spoken against.
A star out of Jacob A scepter out of Israel The consolation of Israel God's Holy Child The Holy One and the Just The Holy One of Israel The Holy one of God THE SON OF GOD The Son of the Highest The Son of Righteousness His name is: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace The Son of David The root and Offspring of David The bright morning star The LION OF THE TRIBE of JUDAH The Son of Man The Fear of Isaac The seed of a woman, born of a virgin The last Adam Conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost The Word of God that Became Flesh There were angels and shepherds at His birth Wise men from the East came to worship Him and brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh Born in a stable, laid in a manger Lord of Glory Immanuel - God with Us
His birth brought joy to the world but sorrow as well. His birth caused the death of other babies. He had to flee for His life. This child was set for the fall and rising again of many; a sign which would be spoken against.
A light for the Gentiles The glory of Israel The arm of the Lord The Horn of Salvation The lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world The Way, the Truth and the Life Salvation is found in no other name but His name The Lord our Righteousness A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief The only Mediator between God and men Rejected by His own people God's beloved Son Despised and rejected of men The desire of all nations Rejected of men He carried our griefs and sorrows The faithful Son The faithful Witness He was wounded for our transgressions He was bruised for our iniquities The chastisement of our peace was upon Him By His stripes we are healed The Lord our Healer The author of Eternal Salvation The author and finisher of our Faith The Redeemer The Saviour The Messiah The Christ of God The Rock The Almighty The Creator The Alpha and Omega The Glory of the Lord The Light of the World The Bread of Life The Image of God He is called Faithful and True King of the Jews King of the Ages Mighty One Mighty God Ruler of kings of the earth KING OF KINGS Lord of Lords
