"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light. On those living in the shadow of death, a light has dawned. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given."

For Unto Us
02:38
|
|||
For unto us a child is born,
Unto us a son is given.
He shall be called wonderful counsellor,
Mighty God.
The everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace
And of the increase of His government and peace
There shall be no end.

"In the sixth month God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendent of David. The virgin's name was Mary."

My soul magnifies the Lord
My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
For He has done mighty things for me,
And holy is His name.
He has remembered His humble servant,
From now all generations will call me blessed.
His mercy extends to those who fear Him,
In every generation.
My soul magnifies the Lord...
His arm has performed many deeds of great might,
He has scattered abroad the men of pride.
He has brought down the mighty rulers,
And lifted up the humble.
My soul magnifies the Lord...
He has provided good things for the hungry,
But the rich have been sent empty away.
He has helped his servant Israel,
His faithfulness goes on.
My soul magnifies the Lord...

The Greatest Gift
03:03
|
|||
A virgin gave birth to a son, two thousand years ago.
A turning point in history, but no one seemed to know.
The world went rushing by, oblivious to the cry
Of one so tiny, so helpless yet so great.
A king born in a stable, doesn't happen every day.
And royalty is never found in dirty rags and hay.
But the King of glory came, in poverty and shame,
To live and love, to suffer and to die.
God became a man, oh Christmas mystery!
The Saviour dwells with us, are we so blind we cannot see?
The frailty of humanity contains such perfect deity.
God's son - the greatest gift of all...

Messiah's Dawn
02:59
|
|||
Love with no condition
Whispered through the air,
As travellers looked with joy,
To see the baby there.
And through the years of waiting awe
Israel's hope is born.
A covenant restored once more,
On this Messiah's Dawn.
Angels fold their wings
Around a royal town,
Whilst in a manger lies
A king without a crown.
A star shines through the night,
And gazes on the place
Where beasts and men all gather round
A mother's heavenly grace.
What infant clothes are these,
Borrowed from a grave?
What future lies in wait,
For the gift God freely gave?
No prize shall mark his years,
But only twisted thorns.
And so for us today this child,
Our saviour Christ is born.

Glory To God
04:27
|

Another sleepless night.
I'm getting tired of counting sheep.
The troubles of the day invade my mind.
I find it hard to sleep.
Another restless hour,
What did the prophets mean?
When will the dawn of your new day appear?
When will your truth be seen?
Suddenly the silence shatters,
Night is turned to day.
Darkness dispelled, be not afraid!
A new day dawns,
Hope is born today.
Glory to God in the highest,
Peace on the earth, good will to all men.
Another troubled year.
When will the fighting cease?
When will mankind discover his true worth?
When will the earth find peace?
Suddenly the silence shatters,
Night is turned to day.
Darkness dispelled, be not afraid!
A new day dawns,
Hope is born today.
Glory to God in the highest,
Peace on the earth, good will to all men.
Glory to God in the highest,
Peace on the earth, good will to all men.

Shout For Joy
03:26
|

Shout for joy - Christ is born!
Love come down from heaven.
Hope restored, bright new dawn;
Jesus, child of Bethlehem.
Shepherds come quickly,
Kneel before your King in worship.
Angels from heaven
Sing His glory on high!
Shout for joy - Christ is born!
Love come down from heaven.
Hope restored, bright new dawn;
Jesus, child of Bethlehem.
Mary now love Him,
Hold within your heart this treasure.
Wise men from far lands
Praise the Kings of Kings!
Shout for joy - Christ is born!
Love come down from heaven.
Hope restored, bright new dawn;
Jesus, child of Bethlehem.
My soul now welcome,
Let His light shine in the darkness.
All lands shall worship
Christ the Lord of all!
Shout for joy - Christ is born!
Love come down from heaven.
Hope restored, bright new dawn;
Jesus, child of Bethlehem.

Mary's Song
03:28
|
|||
All of these things, I keep in my heart.
Time to reflect, time to do my part.
To be yours forever, for all of of my days.
I will worship and serve you in love and in praise.
Words can't explain, words just cannot describe.
As you lie in my arms, so warm at my side.
I hold you so tender, can you really be mine?
To nurture forever, so small, so divine.
Silent in wonder they came to your stall,
Stood in your presence then knelt on the floor.
In total surrender, they saw your star
And heard angels sing as they travelled so far.
Now as I cradle your promise fulfilled,
My task overwhelms me, but yet I am stilled
By the peace when I know this is part of your plan,
My child, my creator will dwell as a man.

Celebrate 2000 Years
03:12
|
|||
Celebrate two thousand years,
Centuries full of hopes and fears.
Worship Christ, the living one,
Rejoice and tell what He has done.
Jesus paid for earthly crime,
Broke through all the walls of time.
Sins are cleared from guilty past
By Jesus, firstborn and the last.
Jew or Gentile, slave or free,
All will come to know and see,
Jesus Christ, He reigns as King.
Let all the world in union sing.
Christ the beginning, Christ the end.
Christ the King and Christ the friend.
Christ in years of history.
Christ the timeless mystery.
