My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Lisa M Samra  … AT THIS LINK  - told of one of the singers at a multicultural Christmas dinner, telling that the lyrics of one of their songs, entitled ‘Nativity Night,” was sung to declare the truth that all we do in life to help others sings of serving to glorify God’s mission of sending His son to serve and save all who believe in Him as Lord.
