Scripture at Sunrise 12.4.09

“Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”  -Matthew 21:9

Glory Be to God on High
Glory be to God on high
Let peace on earth descend
God comes down before our eyes
To Bethlehem
God invisible appears
Endless ages wrapped in years
He has come who cannot change
And Jesus is His name

Emptied of His majesty
He comes in human form
Being’s source begins to be
And God is born
All our griefs He’ll gladly share
All our sins He’ll fully bear
He will cover our disgrace
And suffer in our place

Let the joyful news ring out
The Prince of Peace proclaim
Lift your heart and voice to shout
Immanuel’s name
God has kept His promises
What a work of grace this is
Son of Mary, chosen One
The Lamb of God has come

Hosanna, hosanna
The Lamb of God has come
Hosanna, hosanna
He is the promised One

Glory be to God on high
Let peace on earth descend
God comes down before our eyes
To Bethlehem

“Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

The Gospel Song
Lyrics: Drew Jones
Music: Bob Kauflin

Holy God, in love, became
Perfect man to bear my blame
On the cross he took my sin
By his death I live again
