A BRIGHT SUMMER CHRISTMAS

South African singer Koos du Plessis wrote a beautiful Christmas Carol in Afrikaans for the Southern African context. 

Here in Namibia we are experiencing a bright hot summer. Read the free translation of the lyrics below. As we approach Christmas in Namibia, this song gives us words for prayer: Peace, He gave His Son; the old story; Give glory to our God; Our greatest Christmas gift; Christ is coming and more.

You can download the music of A Bright Summer Christmas played by Susanna Heystek and listen to this beautiful tune as you intercede for this time of the year as the world remember and celebrate the coming of Christ: 

A BRIGHT SUMMER CHRISTMAS 

Welcome oh silent night of peace,
under the Southern Cross,
while voices from the ancient past
sing from the stars above.

Christmas is coming; Christmas is coming -
give glory to our God.
Give us a bright summer Christmas
in this country, O Lord.

Do you hear the bells softly chiming
in an ancient language?
Look, even the silence of the night
shares the old old story.

Christmas is coming; Christmas is coming -
give glory to our God.
Give us a bright summer Christmas
in this country, O Lord.

Do you also feel his warm love
when we remember the day;
When He gave His Son to us -
Our greatest Christmas gift.

Christ is coming; Christ is coming -
give glory to our God.
Give us a bright summer Christmas
in this country, O Lord.

PRAY for JERUSALEM

The 4 th of October has been set aside as an International Day of Prayers for Jerusalem. In obedience to the Word of God, we in Namibia want to join believers all over the world and pray:

Our Father in heaven, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in obedience to Your Word, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. Bless the people of Israel with Your promise of redemption, shield them with Your love, and bring them renewed hope for their day of salvation. Guide Israel’s leaders and advisers with the light of Your truth. For Your Name’s sake, I ask that You remember Your promise and bless the Land with peace, and its inhabitants with lasting joy!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces. For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, Peace be within you. Psalm 122:6 - 8
