Are You Really Going to Come 04:28
lyrics

ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO COME? Are You really going to come? Right past the stars and space and time? Ring the bells and bang the drums! Sing a song sublime! Are You really going to come? Will You really put on skin? All our wrong, unwound, undone! Canceled sin! Savior, Lord, please come! You’re the Only One That our hopes rest on, So come! Will You really walk around And touch the hungry, sick and blind? Will You lay that body down The lost to find? Will You really take on strife With words of love? Will You really give Your life And perfect blood (CHORUS) Will You really leave Your throne Where holy angels sing? Just to make us all Your own? Oh, let praises ring! Joy to the world! The Lord has come! Joy to the world! The Lord has come!

KEEPING THE PROMISE Little baby, keeping the promise Precious baby, taking our sin for us We will never know, how far You had to go And all You left behind, for what You came to find (CHORUS) How could this be, such great love for me You’d pay so high a cost for someone so lost (CHORUS) We’ve waited for so long for that healing song Only You can do what we need you to (CHORUS)

JESUS, SONG OF ANGELS HOLY Jesus, song of angels holy Love unyielding, bending down You were born so weak and lowly Born to die, the lost You found Cross and thorns for throne and crown Sweet and gentle baby lying In a manger, sleeping, crying Heart so tender, breaking for us You remember every promise (CHORUS) King of kings born in a stable Poor and helpless, yet You’re able To live for us, to die for us To forgive us, Lord, to save us (CHORUS)

FOR LOVE, FOR ME Baby, born as a baby, so weak and helpless And You did it all just to save me You came to save me, so brokenhearted So lost and empty Jesus, blessed Jesus, praise of the angels Lord of all and You became Homeless, so poor and homeless, You gave up glory To come and rescue us, You had no Place to lay Your head, a heart that really bled You put on flesh and bone, You came to die alone For love, for me Dying, Lord we were dying, we longed to hear You Give us a word, to speak to us And crying, You came here crying, You broke the silence of God with baby tears, You had no Crib to lay Your head, a manger for Your bed Your perfect heart of love would spill Your precious blood For love, for me Your blood, You would give Your blood to pay for my life To have a heart like mine, My love, You can have my love, I give it to You It is all I have to give

COME, O COME, EMMANUEL! Come, O come, Emmanuel, Lord, don’t leave us all alone Ransom captive Israel We can’t make it on our own Come, O Dayspring, come and cheer Every needy, broken heart To our aid, Lord come down here All Your joy to us impart Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel Has come to you, O Israel Come, disperse the clouds of night Come and loose the bonds of death Shine on us Your healing light Breathe that life-giving breath (CHORUS) Come, O come, Emmanuel To Your love and grace we plead The story we will always tell is, You are all we really need (CHORUS)

about

IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR I WROTE 5 NEW CHRISTMAS SONGS IN PREPARATION FOR OUR ADVENT SERVICES AT CHRIST COMMUNITY. THESE SONGS SEEMED TO HAVE SOME SIMILAR ELEMENTS AND THEMES. I SUPPOSE THE THING THAT'S BEEN ON MY HEART A LOT ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS STORY THIS YEAR IS THE WAY THAT THE CHRISTMAS STORY ISN'T JUST AN OLD STORY, IT'S THE OLDEST STORY. IT WAS THE FULFILLMENT OF A PROMISE GOD MADE TO EVE AT THE VERY BEGINNING, BACK IN GENESIS 3:15. SINCE THAT MOMENT PEOPLE WERE WAITING... WAITING FOR HUNDREDS AND THEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR GOD TO KEEP ALL THOSE PROMISES ABOUT THE ONE WHO WOULD COME AND FIX ALL OUR MESSES. SONGS WERE WRITTEN ABOUT HIM AND BEDTIME STORIES WERE TOLD ABOUT HIM... WOULD HE COME? HOW AND WHEN? AND THEN HE DID. HE CAME.

JESUS, SONG OF ANGELS HOLY, LOVE UNYIELDING, BENDING DOWN; YOU WERE BORN SO WEAK AND LOWLY, BORN TO DIE, THE LOST YOU FOUND, CROSS AND THORNS FOR THRONE AND CROWN...
