The Song Became a Child, a song

The song became a child
And the child became a prince
Welcomed to the world by angels and ruffians

The prince became a pauper
And he wore a crown of straw
While his mother rocked her Maker in her arms

His daddy was a carpenter
And he taught him how to build
Apprenticing the little boy who created wood

His brothers were his followers
And sinners were his friends
The Pauper who held heaven in his hands

So lift! Lift up your hearts tonight
The ox and the lamb sing lullabies
And join, Join in the Song tonight!
While angels harmonize

The pauper ruled a kingdom
Where only love was king
And everywhere the child went the song would sing

He sang it from the manger
Till a cross became his throne
The little child who was the Maker’s song

So lift! Lift up your hearts tonight
The ox and the lamb sing lullabies
And join, Join in the Song tonight!
While angels harmonize

Jesus, name above all names
Beautiful saviour, glorious Lord!
Emmanuel, God is with us
Blessed Redeemer, Living Word

So lift! Lift up your hearts tonight
The ox and the lamb sing lullabies
And join, Join in the Song tonight!
While angels harmonize

Peace on Earth, a song

God has called a truce between Creator and Creation
God is making peace with his war weary world
So lay down your arms and lift up the celebration
And come adore the child,
Come adore the child
Come adore the child who is Christ the Lord

For Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth, good will!
For Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth, good will!

You don't have to be afraid or filled with trepidation
Behold I bring good news for all this hurting world
So come out of your fears and join the celebration
And come adore the child,
Come adore the child
Come adore the child who is Christ the Lord

For Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth, good will!
For Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth, good will!

My Heart's Magnificat, a song

The God who rescues the poor in his mercy
Became poor for us
Born to the scandal of a virgin birth
The God who fathers the fatherless
The God who lifts up the lowly
Became the lowest of all
The God who was everywhere, always there
Has become our Emmanuel

Chorus:
So this is the cry of my heart’s Magnificat
Cause who in the world could ever imagine that
That the light of the world would become blood and bone
When the Maker of All made a stable his home
As a beautiful baby the Holy Spirit begat
So be glorified, be glorified,
Be glorified in my heart’s Magnificat

Verse 2:
The God who binds up the broken hearted
Took on a heart that could bleed
Born in the body of a helpless baby
The God who meets our every need
The God who fills up the Heavens
Had nowhere to lay his head
He was made like us in every way
So that we might be made like him

Bridge:
I am the servant of the Lord,
May it be to me as you have spoken
I am the servant of the Lord,
I choose what you have already chosen
I am the servant of the Lord,
To do with me as you will
From now until you come again,
I'll be praising you still

"Cause this is the cry of my heart’s Magnificat
And who in the world could ever imagine that
That the light of the world would become blood and bone
When the Maker of all made a stable his home
As a beautiful baby the Holy Spirit begat
So be glorified, be glorified,
Be glorified in my heart’s Magnificat

He Shall Be Called, a Song

When Messiah comes, when Messiah comes
All the wolves will lie down with the lamb
Every eye shall see, every tongue shout it out
The glory of the great I AM!

And He shall be called, wonderful counselor
And King of kings he shall be called
And he will beat all our swords to ploughshares
Our Prince of peace, Almighty God
Our Prince of peace, Almighty God

When Messiah comes, when Messiah comes
We won’t train for war ever anymore
And all the world shall see the goodness of his love
And they will walk in the light of the Lord

And He shall be called, wonderful counselor
And King of kings he shall be called
And he will beat all our swords to ploughshares
Our Prince of peace, Almighty God
Our Prince of peace, Almighty God

For to us a child is given
O to us a Son is born
Like the dawn on the horizon
In the early hours of morn
And the people in the darkness
See his light is on the rise
With a kingdom on his shoulders
And God’s mercy in his eyes

He shall be called, wonderful counselor
And King of kings he shall be called
And he will beat all our swords to ploughshares
Our Prince of peace, Almighty God
Our Prince of peace, Almighty God
