As we enter Advent we thought we’d celebrate the season with some songs for the season that focus on the amazing gift that is the birth of Jesus.
This is a Chris Tomlin song sung by Lauren Diagle.
Love incarnate, love divine Star and angels gave the sign Bow to babe on bended knee The Saviour of humanity Unto us a Child is born He shall reign forevermore
Noel, Noel Come and see what God has done Noel, Noel The story of amazing love! The light of the world, given for us Noel
This was the new song last weekend, which we are likely to be singing again this weekend, it comes to us via Matt Redman.
I normally like to post a video with the lyrics, or the artist singing it, but neither are officially available, so we’ll go with the official audio video (below), the lyrics are:
[Verse 1] Amplify Your anthem of grace within my soul Let me hear the wonders of Your redeeming love And let me hear those saving words You spoke upon the cross
[Chorus 1] It is finished, it is finished Oh what else is there to say? Shame is silenced, death defeated Hallelujah, God be praised
[Verse 2] No more condemnation, You had the final word There’s nothing that can hold me, there’s nothing now to dread Oh, I can hear those healing words You cried upon the cross
[Chorus 1] It is finished, it is finished Oh what else is there to say? Shame is silenced, death defeated Hallelujah, God be praised O it is finished, it is finished Oh what else is there to say? Shame is silenced, death defeated Hallelujah, God be praised
[Bridge] I hear a symphony of grace Your song of mercy called my name I stand in awe, I stand amazed Hallelujah, God be praised I hear a symphony of grace Your song of mercy called my name I stand in awe, I stand amazed Hallelujah, God be praised O God be praised
[Verse 3] There’s no more condemnation You had the final word Yes, You had the final word
[Chorus 2] It is finished, it is finished Oh what else is there to say? Shame is silenced, death defeated Hallelujah, God be praised O, it is finished, it is finished Oh what else is there to say? Shame is silenced, death is defeated Hallelujah, God be praised Shame is silenced, death is defeated Hallelujah, God be praised God be praised
This is the new song that the band on Sunday evening. It comes from Bright City who are a family of artists who serve and lead the worship life of St Peter’s Brighton, UK:
David Roller continues his Whole Earth Stories looking at events recorded in Luke 18:
It’s a short little door, the door into heaven. Big puffed-up people won’t fit. Seems to be some connection here between the children and the sincerity of the tax collector. 3 minutes of deep thoughts.
