For the Light

For the Light has shined upon us.
For the Light has risen on us.
For the Father has given Jesus, He’s given Jesus, His Son.

How we were groping
How we were searching for light of day
Into the darkness God spoke His likeness to light our way

In this small baby, in this humanity, Jesus will dwell
Piercing the darkness, now God is with us – Emmanuel

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O come O come Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here, Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice, rejoice ‑ Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death’s dark shadows put to flight

O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, and order all things far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show, and cause us in her ways to go

O come, Desire of nations, bind ‑ all peoples in one heart and mind
Bid envy strife and quarrels cease, Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace

Light of the World

The world waits for a miracle, The heart longs for a little bit of hope
O come, O come Emmanuel
A child prays for peace on earth, And she’s calling out from a sea of hurt
O come, O come Emmanuel
And can you hear the angels singing

Glory to the Light of the world, Glory ‑ the Light of the world is here

The drought breaks with the tears of a mother, A baby’s cry is the sound of love come down
Come down, Emmanuel ‑ woh
He is the song for the suffering
He is Messiah, the Prince of peace has come
He has come Emmanuel ‑ oh

Glory to the Light of the world (4X)

For all who wait, for all who hunger, for all who’ve prayed, for all who wonder
Behold your King, behold Messiah
Emmanuel Emmanuel

Glory to the light of the world (3X)

Emmanuel Emmanuel

The world waits for a miracle, The heart longs for a little bit of hope
O come, O come Emmanuel

O Come, All Ye Faithful

O come all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him, Born the King of angels

O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Sing choirs of angels, Sing in exultation
O sing all ye bright Hosts of heav’n above
Glory to God all Glory in the highest

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning
Jesus to Thee be all glory giv’n
Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing

Jesus, All for Jesus

Jesus, all for Jesus
All I am and have and ever hope to be
Jesus, all for Jesus
All I am and have and ever hope to be

All of my ambitions hopes and plans,
I surrender these into Your hands
All of my ambitions hopes and plans,
I surrender these into Your hands

For it’s only in Your will that I am free
For it’s only in Your will that I am free

I Will Serve You

I will serve You because I love You
You have given life to me
I was nothing before You found me
You have given life to me

Heartaches broken pieces
Ruined lives are why You died on Calv’ry
Your touch was what I longed for
You have given life to me

I Belong

Not angels nor demons
No pow’r on earth or heaven
Not distance nor danger
No trouble now or ever

Nothing can take me from Your great love
Forever this truth remains

I belong
I belong to You
I belong
I belong to You

Not hardship nor hunger
No pain or depth of sorrow
Not weakness nor failure
No broken dream or promise

Had It Not Been (Psalm 124)

Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
The anger of the enemy would have swallowed us alive
Had it not been the Lord who was on our side.

Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
The waters would have engulfed us, we would have surely died
Had it not been the Lord who was on our side.

Blessed be the Lord who would not give us up
Blessed be the Lord for His unfailing love
The snare is broken and we have escaped
Our help is in the name of the Lord. Blessed be the Lord!

Be Unto Your Name

We are a moment, You are forever
Lord of the ages, God before time
We are a vapor, You are eternal
Love everlasting, reigning on high

Holy holy Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Highest praises honor and glory
Be unto Your name
Be unto Your name

We are the broken, You are the healer
Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save
You are the love song we’ll sing forever
Bowing before You, blessing Your name
