Isaiah 25:9

This is our God
We've waited for him
Hearts rejoice
And be glad
He's our salvation

Awaited King
04:31
|
|||
|
Promised seed of Abraham
Lord of lords, and the Great I Am
Fully God, and fully man
Born that night in Bethlehem
Son of David, long awaited king
Took on flesh, took on suffering
Even now, the angels sing
Glory to the lamb
You were the one of whom the prophets spoke
You were sent to bring the nations hope
Into our darkest night
God you shined your light
On your shoulders, rests the government
And your peace, it will see no end
You destroyed the throes of death
And brought us life again
For unto us, a child has come
And His name, oh it shall be called
Wonderful, and almighty God
Now and forevermore

The Fullness Of The Time
04:45
|
|||
|
We've been waiting
Like a woman who's with child
For your arrival
All creation
Has been groaning for a sign
A growing hope inside
When the fullness of the time had come
God sent forth His only Son
Born of the virgin's womb
Through Him came grace and truth
How merciful, how marvelous
Heaven's king would take on flesh
How wonderful, miraculous
God on high would dwell with us
We've been wand'ring
Through the desert all our lives
Longing for Messiah
Anticipating
A Kingdom from on high
Whose reign will never die
Incarnation
Breaking through our silent night
A tiny infant's cry
No more waiting
Our deliverance draws nigh
In the fullness of the time

Sunrise From On High
05:41
|
|||
|
Sunrise from on high
Visit us with your light
Ransom us with your life
Dayspring come shine
Save us from our enemies
Guide our feet in your peace
Until the morning star
Rises in our hearts
And these labor pains stop
And we see you as you are
You became like us
That we might be like you
Bending down to dust
To raise us up anew
You would choose to trade
Your throne for bed of hay
A staggering exchange
Our burdens for your grace

Abide In Me
04:10
|
|||
|
Born into a manger
Straw to crown His head
The all powerful Creator
Resolved to take on flesh
The bright and morning star
The Author of all life
To darkness he would condescend
To flood the world with light
Birds, they build in branches
Foxes have a den
Yet the Lord of all creation
Has nowhere to lay his head
The one whom angels offer
Their worship and acclaim
For sinful man would he endure
Scorn, neglect, and shame
You could have come in splendor
Arrayed in robes of light
And called the world to render
Homage to your might
Still you chose to suffer
Far from heaven's throne
To purify a people you would
Call your very own
Now, my Lord, I pray
Find here a willing soul
Surrendered unto you my King
Make this heart your home
How could i be a stranger
To Him who set me free
Come and take your rightful place
Lord, abide in me

Bethlehem, Ephrathah
05:11
|
|||
|
Bethlehem
Though the weakest of your brethren
Ephrathah
Though the smallest of the tribes of Judah
Out of you shall come
A ruler for My people
Out of you shall come
The shepherd for My children
I will use the weak to shame the strong
And foolish things to shame the wise
For a humble spirit is what I long for
And a contrite heart I won't despise
|

Open Heart
05:57

Christmas in the hospital
That's not how tradition goes, yet here we are
You need surgery, but they're no openings
Until New Year's Eve, so here we are
And I can't help but think about Christ
And the way he stepped into this life
To a world full of sin
With no room at the inn
Still he entered the depths of our strife
And the similarities they abound
As you lay in that hospital gown
For in weakness He came
For the sick and the lame
That the true light of God might be found
There's no ornaments, or fancy tree
Just humble circumstance this Christmas Eve
And you might think it's of no consequence
But it means everything, eternally
We all need
An open heart
To receive
This gift of love
So would everyone
Prepare Him room
For “God with us”
To come and rule

Andrew Joseph Connell Newark, Delaware
Andrew Joseph Connell writes songs for the King who saves and sanctifies. His roots are in Delaware, the Small Wonder, where he serves his local church. Each year he seems unable to escape the wonder of the incarnation and so much of his catalog fits into the unconventional Christmas category. He prays his songs are like a glass before your eye, that sets your gaze on Jesus. ... more
