Those were the lyrics my mind was singing this first sunday of Advent. Aloud, I was wondering where we would catch some twinkling lights to remind us of the Star of Bethlehem. Since our advent devotion was in the morning, the night was free for roaming! as soon as the littl'un was up from nap, we headed down to Sea World!
Twinkling Lights. check.
Fun loving. check.
The nighttime Shamu Christmas show was beyond our expectations. First, was the instrumental solo sax "O Holy Night. The stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Savior's birth" (Pete's favorite Christmas Song)
Then, Love In Motion Signing Choir (
www.signingchoir.com) joined in, followed by Alto sax "Silent Night, Holy Night. All is calm, all is bright round yon Virgin Mother and Child. Holy Infant so tender and mild sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven. Christ, the Savior is born".
The finale: the entire stadium was asked to stand and sing with these words posted on the big screen: "Joy to the World, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing...Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!....He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love":
We loved it! We'd love to do this every year! and even one more time this year! if you have passes, we'll see you there! Also found out this show has been going since 2004..wish we found it sooner.
