Religion
Song lyrics for a song from our Christmas Musical entitled "Child of the Manger".  Please note both classes will have a Friday verse this weekl:

Tuesday (First and Second)
 Child of the manger, change me,
Let love into my life.
And may Jesus peace be born in me tonight.

Thursday (First and Second)
 Child of the manger, take me,
Make me Your own,
Filling my heart with You alone.

Friday (First and Second)
 Hope has come to us through God's own Son.
And now we place our hope within this One.
