about

I wrote this Christmas song for our 2019 Faith Community Church Christmas choir. It's based on Isaiah 8-9, John 1, and various other Scriptures. I wasn't able to record the whole choir/orchestra version, but hope you appreciate this simplified version!

lyrics

On the land the night had fallen
And the people walked in darkness
The chosen of the Lord
Refused to hear His voice
But the Lord had giv’n his promise
That a Light would dawn among them
And to the lowly shepherds
Came the break of morn

See the glory of the Lord
Fill the sky and shine around them
As the angels brought the joyful news
“The Savior, Christ, is born”

So with haste they went to seek Him
Whom the hosts of heav’n exalted
Whom kings and princes
Waited long to welcome in
But no princes came to greet him
And the king despised his rival
The Light had come
But not in beams for worldly eyes

See the glory of the Lord
Hidden in the face of Jesus
But in every heart that God has shone
What truth and grace are seen!

What a birth and what a story
Full of glory veiled in suff’ring
Our God made flesh
To bring eternal life through death
Now His humbling work’s accomplished
And in victory He’s risen
Ascended and returning as the King to reign

See the glory of the Lord
As He comes in clouds descending
Every knee will bow and tongue confess
The Savior, Christ, is Lord!

Every knee will bow before Him
Every tongue confess Him Lord
And forever in His light we’ll live
All Glory to the Lord!
