ADVENT
it’s dark but still we can see
that our world is falling to pieces
we long to soar to heaven
but our feet are stuck in the clay
the star shines so bright
and the wise follow its light
while shepherds listen
as angels introduce the King
this is Jesus
come to save the world
come to save the world
sing out the good news
salvation is in a manger
the dawn is breaking
creation starts to see
before the world began
You were prepared
Immanuel
God with us
glory to God in the highest
and peace to all, peace to all
glory to God in the highest
and peace to all, peace for
ANNUNCIATION
we are found though we seem lost
on barren ground there’s hope for more
we belong though we feel alone
brave though our courage is long, long gone
for the Mighty One has done
great things for us
for the Mighty One has done
great things for us
grace has made a way
and so we will be found
IMMANUEL
Immanuel, God with us
can you believe that God is here?
the Love that holds the world
has come to dwell with us
Immanuel, God with us
can you believe that God is here?
grace has come
into our world, into our shame
the people walking in darkness
have seen a great Light
salvation is here, salvation is near
Immanuel, God with us
God is here, God with us
GLORIA
glory to God in the highest
and His peace and goodwill
throughout the world
throughout the world
light is shining down
is shining through
is shining out
MAGI
(now that You’re here)
we bring Him gold
a gift for the King
creator of the universe
Lord of the heavens
(now that You’re here)
bring Him frankincense
a gift for the Lamb
the perfect offering
for our sin
(now that You’re here)
we bring Him myrrh
a gift for the Christ
who will rise
from the dead
(now that You’re here)
His name is Jesus
His name means glory
His name means mercy
His name means life
(now that You’re here)
NATIVITY
o what love is this
that the Maker of the heavens
lies in a manger
from glory come
the only Son, the only One
who can save
Holy Child
to be rejected as a man
forsaken by Your friends
choosing the cross
death will die
sin has lost its power
we are free
