0:00:12 > 0:00:14Although we're from Northern Ireland,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17over the last five years, we've had the privilege of performing
0:00:17 > 0:00:21our Christmas concert to audiences across our adopted home of America.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23And we'd love to share this with you now, which is
0:00:23 > 0:00:26kind of appropriate, because the first songs we wrote for this
0:00:26 > 0:00:29show, we wrote ten years ago, here on the North Antrim coast.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32The concert you are about to see was recorded in Tennessee with
0:00:32 > 0:00:36a fabulous band of musicians from America and from Ireland.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38So, we hope you enjoy it. And feel free to sing along!

0:05:06 > 0:05:10to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12a descendant of David.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15The virgin's name was Mary.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The angel went to her and said,
0:05:17 > 0:05:22"Greetings, you who are highly favoured. The Lord is with you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28"You will conceive and give birth to a son and you are to call him Jesus.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50APPLAUSE
0:08:54 > 0:08:58It's an incredible thing, isn't it, how carols telling the story,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01joining us together in so many ways? Throughout history they have told
0:09:01 > 0:09:03this wonderful Christmas story.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07In the old world, before the Bible was even in English,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10it was the way the story was told - door-to-door in the streets,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12carollers going out and singing.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16And we stand on the tall shoulders, as writers and as singers,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20of those many wonderful composers and poets who have penned
0:09:20 > 0:09:23beautiful carols that have been handed down to us.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27We're going to invite you to stand and let's sing first Joy Has Dawned.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26APPLAUSE
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Last time we were here we'd just had Eliza, our little daughter Eliza,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41and we've come back with another little one, Charlotte.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44And then we found out a few weeks before we went on the road
0:14:44 > 0:14:47for this tour that we were pregnant with number three.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49APPLAUSE
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Which was a bit of a shock. I am really starting to show a bit,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56so it was a relief when I could tell people because I got bigger very,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59very fast. But this is a prayer for our kids and by extension
0:14:59 > 0:15:01maybe they're your prayers, as well.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19# Before you close your eyes to sleep
0:15:20 > 0:15:27# I have a promise still to keep
0:15:27 > 0:15:32# As I hold you in my arms
0:15:34 > 0:15:41# I pray your little frame grows strong
0:15:41 > 0:15:49# And that faith takes hold while you are young
0:15:49 > 0:15:53# This is my prayer for you
0:15:56 > 0:16:01# Hold my hand
0:16:03 > 0:16:07# I'll teach you the way to go
0:16:09 > 0:16:14# Through the joys, through the tears
0:16:14 > 0:16:17# The journey of these years
0:16:17 > 0:16:21# May you trust Him till the end
0:16:24 > 0:16:29# May you trust Him in the end
0:16:32 > 0:16:37# This world is not as it should be
0:16:39 > 0:16:45# But the Saviour opens eyes to see
0:16:46 > 0:16:51# All that's beautiful and true
0:16:53 > 0:17:00# Oh, may His light fill all you are
0:17:00 > 0:17:07# And the jewel of wisdom crown your heart
0:17:07 > 0:17:11# This is my prayer for you
0:17:14 > 0:17:19# Hold my hand
0:17:21 > 0:17:25# I'll teach you the way to go
0:17:27 > 0:17:31# Through the joys, through the tears
0:17:31 > 0:17:35# The journey of these years
0:17:35 > 0:17:39# He is with us till the end
0:17:42 > 0:17:46# He is faithful till the end
0:18:14 > 0:18:16# Ah
0:18:18 > 0:18:20# Ah
0:18:21 > 0:18:24# Ah
0:18:25 > 0:18:27# Ah
0:18:27 > 0:18:34# You'll travel where my arms won't reach
0:18:34 > 0:18:41# As the road will rise to lead your feet
0:18:41 > 0:18:47# On a journey of your own
0:18:49 > 0:18:55# May my mistakes not hinder you
0:18:55 > 0:19:03# But His grace remain and guide you through
0:19:03 > 0:19:08# This will be my prayer for you
0:19:11 > 0:19:16# Take His hand
0:19:17 > 0:19:21# And go where He calls you to
0:19:23 > 0:19:27# And whatever comes, seek Him
0:19:27 > 0:19:31# With all of your heart
0:19:31 > 0:19:36# This will be my prayer for you
0:19:38 > 0:19:43# Mmm-mm-mmm
0:19:45 > 0:19:50# Father, hear my ceaseless prayer
0:19:53 > 0:20:01# Oh, keep them in your care. #

0:30:49 > 0:30:52This is a song that Keith and I wrote many years ago.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54We brought back for this tour.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56It's called Wonder and one of the things
0:30:56 > 0:31:00we love about being parents is getting to see everything again
0:31:00 > 0:31:03for the first time through the eyes of your kids.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07That sense of discovery and wonder at new things, like snow falling.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10But I don't know what happens as we get older,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13that sense of wonder begins to dim a little.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17And yet I think it is important that we keep our hearts soft
0:31:17 > 0:31:20to the echoes of God's glory all around us.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22In creation, in each other
0:31:22 > 0:31:26and in this story of Christmas that we have been singing about tonight.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30To keep us thankful, to keep cynicism away
0:31:30 > 0:31:37and to draw our hearts into worship of the one whose name is wonderful.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50# I've seen days
0:31:50 > 0:31:53# Melt into nights
0:31:54 > 0:31:59# In circles of light
0:31:59 > 0:32:04# I've watched a spider spin a star
0:32:04 > 0:32:10# Between the window box flowers
0:32:10 > 0:32:13# I've heard you laugh
0:32:13 > 0:32:16# And cry
0:32:16 > 0:32:21# In a simple sigh
0:32:21 > 0:32:24# And a story

0:32:45 > 0:32:50# My wonder
0:33:12 > 0:33:14# I saw her broken
0:33:14 > 0:33:18# Dreams inside
0:33:18 > 0:33:22# But helping others fly
0:33:22 > 0:33:27# I saw his eyes without a doubt
0:33:27 > 0:33:31# They web of lies faded out
0:33:31 > 0:33:37# And though her calling roared
0:33:37 > 0:33:42# Such graciousness poured
0:33:42 > 0:33:49# From the vision of her soul
0:33:50 > 0:33:55# Don't let me lose

0:34:56 > 0:34:59# Beneath a jewelled spark
0:34:59 > 0:35:04# I knew Your voice up on the hill
0:35:05 > 0:35:09# And heard my lostness still
0:35:09 > 0:35:15# I found my home in the light
0:35:15 > 0:35:19# Where wrong was made right
0:35:19 > 0:35:26# And You rose as the morning star

0:49:55 > 0:49:58Irish culture is famous for its blessings,
0:49:58 > 0:50:01some of which should never be repeated in a microphone.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04But there are some that might be worth listening to
0:50:04 > 0:50:07and you might be able to take with you - we hope this is one.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09For many, going to Christmas time, coming into this time,
0:50:09 > 0:50:12you're excited, looking forward to it.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14But for many others, they approach it with a heavy heart.
0:50:14 > 0:50:18The most wonderful thing about this story we've been singing about
