How Many Kings - December 18, 2011

Words and Music by Jason Germain and Marc Martel

Follow the star to the place unexpected.
Would you believe after all we’ve projected,
A Child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all,
Unlikeliest hero. Wrapped in His mother’s shawl.
Just a Child, is this who we’ve waited for?

‘Cause how many kings stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many great have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their heart
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior,
All that we have, whether costly or meek,
Because we believe.
Gold for His honor and frankincense for His pleasure
And myrrh for the cross He’ll suffer.
Do you believe? Is this who we’ve waited for?

Only One did that for me
All for me, all for you.

How Many Kings

Hope of the World - December 11, 2011

Words and Music by Gary Sadler and Jamie Harvill

Lord, all of these years You’ve seen our tears
Trailing away from the garden.
Once so innocent before our sin
And then our hearts were hardened.
Stumbling so far away, hopeless until the day
You came to break through the night

O Hope of the world
Emmanuel, God here with us forever;
Shine through the dark into our hearts.
Jesus, You are the Hope of the world.

Grace sent down to earth, sov’reign from birth
Your death for our salvation.
Now the price has been paid; love made a way
Healing for all creation.
Stumbling so far away, hopeless until the day
You came to break through the night

You are the One we have waited for
And we thank You; Lord, we thank You.
You are the One that our hearts adore
And we praise You; Lord, we praise You.


Today's Songs:
Good Christian Men, Rejoice
O Come, All Ye Faithful
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
O Little Town of Bethlehem
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
Hope Has Come
Hope of the World
You Alone Can Rescue

Here with Us - December 4, 2011

Words and Music by Jason Ingram, Joy Williams, and Ben Glover

It’s still a mystery to me that the hands of God could be so small
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measure the sky.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Son of God, servant King, here with us.
You’re here with us.

Still a mystery to me how His infant eyes had seen the dawn of time
How His ears had heard an angel symphony
But still, Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep.

Jesus, the Christ, born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save, to save the souls of men

Today's Songs:
Angels from the Realms of Glory
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Here I Am to Worship
Here with Us
Again and Again

Hope Has Come - November 27, 2011

Words and Music by Stephen Altrogge

Let us join with the angel voices; let us join their happy song.
All of heaven and earth rejoices for the Lamb of God has come.
He has come to rescue sinners, come to meet our desperate need;
He was born to bring forgiveness, born for Calvary.

Alleluia! Hope has come.
Alleluia! Christ has come.
We once were slaves in misery
‘Til You appeared and set us free.
Alleluia! Hope has come.

Let us lay our gifts before Him; let us magnify His Name.
With thankful hearts adore Him, for the Lord has come to save.
He has come to break sin’s power; He has come to set us free.
Hope was born that glorious hour—Christ, the mighty King.


Today's Songs:
Go, Tell It on the Mountain
Joy to the World
Angels We Have Heard on High
Behold Our God w/O Come, Let Us Adore Him
Hope Has Come

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come - November 20, 2011

Words and Music by Henry Alford and George J. Elvey

Come, ye thankful people, come—raise the song of harvest-home;
All is safely gathered in ere the winter storms begin.
God, our Maker, doth provide for our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come—raise the song of harvest-home.

All the world is God’s own field, fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown, unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.

For the Lord our God shall come and shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day all offenses purge away;
Give His angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore.

Even so, Lord, quickly come to Thy final harvest-home;
Gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, forever purified, in Thy presence to abide;
Come, with all Thine angels, come—raise the glorious harvest-home.

Today's Songs:
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
For the Beauty of the Earth
We Gather Together
How Great Is Your Faithfulness

How Great Is Your Faithfulness - November 13, 2011

Words and Music by Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman

Now unto the King who reigns over all and never changes or turns
Unfailing justice, unfading grace, whose promises remain
Yes, Your promises remain

The heavens ring, the saints all sing, “Great is Your faithfulness”
From age to age we will proclaim, “Great is Your faithfulness—
How great is Your faithfulness!”

Everything changes, but You stay the same
Your word and kingdom endure
We lean on the promise of all that You are
And trust forevermore, we will trust forevermore

From generation to generation, You never fail us, O God
Yesterday and today and tomorrow, until the day You return

Today's Songs:

Happy Day
How Great Is Your Faithfulness
Unchanging
In Christ Alone
Glorious Day

Be Thou My Vision - November 6, 2011

Words and Music by Mary E. Byrne

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Today's Songs:

O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Your Redeeming Love
Be Thou My Vision
Give Me Jesus
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
