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.

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
