Let Us Love & Sing & Wonder

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder
©2001 Laura Taylor Music. Words: John Newton, 1774. Music: Laura Taylor.

Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Savior’s name;
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder,
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame.

Let us love the Lord Who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies,
Called us by His grace and taught us,
Gave us ears and gave us eyes.

CHORUS:
He has washed us with His blood,
He has washed us with His blood,
He has washed us with His blood,
He presents our souls to God.

Let us wonder: grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store,
When through grace in Christ our trust is,
Justice smiles and asks no more.
(Chorus)

Let us praise and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high,
Here they trusted Him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky.
(Chorus)

Scripture:
Exodus 19; Matt 26:28; Eph 1:7; 1 John 1:7; Heb 9:14; Heb 9:22; Col 1:20; Rev 7:14; Rev 1:5;

Kindness

Kindness
Words & Music: Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, Louie Giglio
©2000 worshiptogether.com songs. CCLI Song #3028373

Open up the skies of mercy,
Rain down the cleansing flood,
Healing waters rise around us,
Hear our cries, Lord, let them rise.

CHORUS:
It’s Your kindness, Lord, that leads us to repentance,
Your favor, Lord, is our desire,
It’s Your beauty, Lord, that makes us stand in silence,
And Your love, Your love, is better than life.

We can feel Your mercy falling,
You are turning our hearts back again,
Hear our praises rise to heaven,
Draw us near, Lord, meet us here.
(Chorus)

BRIDGE:
There is no one like our God.

(Chorus)

O Little Town of Bethlehem

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Words by Phillips Brooks, 1868; Music by Lewis H. Redner, 1868.

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

Heaven Is Yours
Words & Music by Cameron Gray, 2011. © 2011 Rough Harbor Music.

Heaven is yours, to the highest heaven
The Earth is yours, and all therein
Oh what is man, that you would regard him
Yet you set your love upon the least of us

King of all kings, your Name above all names
In every age your righteousness reigns
Father of glory, forever holy
Yet you set your love upon the least of us

CHORUS:
You are my God, you are my praise
You have done wonders I have seen with my own eyes
You are my God, your Name above all names (Your majesty reigns)
And you set your love upon the least of us
And you set your love upon the least of us
Thank you Lord

Light of the world, desire of nations
Mighty in mercy, mighty to save
Gracious Redeemer, Beautiful Savior
And you set your love upon the least of us
(Repeat CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
King of Creation
Rock and Foundation
True Consolation
Mighty Salvation
(Repeat CHORUS)

Scripture:
Deut 10:14-21: To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. Yet the LORD set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today…. He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.

While Shepherds Watched

While Shepherds Watched
Words by Nahum Tate, 1700. Music by George F. Handel, 1728. Public domain.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around,
And glory shone around.

“Fear not,” said he, for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind;
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind,
To you and all mankind.”

Alleluia.

“To you in David’s town this day
Is born of David’s line
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign,
And this shall be the sign:”

“The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid.”

Alleluia.

Thus spoke the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song,
Addressed their joyful song:

“All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace:
Good will to men from highest heav’n
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease.”

Alleluia.

Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)

Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)
Words by Chris Tomlin & Ed Cash. ©2009 worshiptogether.com CCLI Song #5601640

What hope we hold this starlit night
A King is born in Bethlehem
Our journey long, we seek the light
That leads to the hallowed manger ground

What fear we felt that silent age
So many years, can he be found?
Then broken by a baby’s cry
Rejoice in the hallowed manger ground

CHORUS:
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God incarnate here to dwell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Praise His Name, Emmanuel

The Son of God here born to bleed
A crown of thorns would pierce His brow
And we beheld His offering
Exalted now the King of Kings!
Praise God for the hallowed manger ground

My Soul Magnifies the Lord

with Electric guitar riff

My Soul Magnifies the Lord
Words & Music by Chris Tomlin & Daniel Carson. ©2009 worshiptogether.com CCLI Song #5601671

Good news of great joy, for every woman every man
This will be a sign to you: a baby born in Bethlehem
Come and worship, do not be afraid

A company of angels, glory in the highest
And on the earth a peace among those on whom his favor rests
Come and worship, do not be afraid

CHORUS
My soul, my soul magnifies the Lord
My soul magnifies the Lord
He has done great things for me, great things for me

Unto you a child is born, unto us a Son is giv’n
Let ev’ry heart prepare His throne, let ev’ry nation under Heav’n
Come and worship, do not be afraid

BRIDGE
Of His government there will be no end
He’ll establish it with His righteousness
And He shall reign on David’s throne
And His name shall be from this day on
Wonderful Counselor,
Everlasting Father,
Wonderful Counselor,
Everlasting Father

Scripture Reference:
Luke 1:46-55, Isa 9:6-7

It is Well With My Soul

It is Well With My Soul
Public Domain. Words: Horatio Spafford, 1873. Music: Philip Bliss, 1876.

When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul”

CHORUS:
It is well — (it is well)
with my soul — (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul!

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control:
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
(Chorus)

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
(Chorus)

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
(Chorus)

Your Love Never Fails

Your Love Never Fails
Words & Music: Chris McClarney & Anthony Skinner, ©2009 Thankyou Music. CCLI Song #5337172

Nothing can separate
Even if I run away
Your love never fails

Though I still make mistakes
You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails

CHORUS:
You stay the same through the ages,
Your love never changes,
There maybe pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage,
I don’t have to be afraid,
Because I know that You love me,
Your love never fails

The wind is strong and the water’s deep
I’m not alone in these open seas
Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I’d reach the other side
But Your love never fails
(Repeat Chorus)

BRIDGE:
You make, all things, work together for my good.
