Born in our likeness, held in the hands that You made

As the angels start their whispering

They sing glory in the highest
Come now, our King
We’ve been waiting
Come now, our King

Foundations of the earth and sky

You saw it all
You said that it was good

Behold behold the one
Our love is come
Behold behold the one
Our King is come

He shall reign forevermore

The lost can now be found

Living within us, Emmanuel

And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore
And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore

When heaven’s light and music fell
And mercy found us here.

And on the earth be peace
Glory to God the angels sing.
He came to tell the Father’s love,
His goodness and his grace;
To show the brightness of his smile,
The glory of his face;
So glory in the highest
And on the earth be peace
Glory to God your children sing

17. How Many Kings by Downhere

Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother’s shawl
Just a child, is this who we’ve waited for?

18. Light of the World by Lauren Daigle

The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel
A child prays for peace on Earth
And she’s calling out from a sea of hurt
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel

Christ is born for you

Lift your voices and now proclaim
Great and glorious Love has come to us
Join now with the hosts of heaven

Glad tidings to the earth they sing
To us this day a child is given
To crown us with the joy of heaven

25. Unto Us by Matthew West

Who are we that a king would trade heaven’s riches
For a stable and a manger low?
Can it be “Great I Am” bending down to reach us
Morning Star, let this dark world know

Here is our promised one
Jesus, our hope has come

26. What Love Is This by Kari Jobe

You never change
You are the God You say You are
When I’m afraid
You come and still my beating heart
You stay the same
When hope is just a distant thought
You take my pain
And You lead me to the cross

27. What Love, My God by CityAlight

What love my God would bring You down to earth
What king would take a low and lonely birth
Yet to this dark and broken place You came
To sleep beneath the stars that You had made

28. When Hope Came Down by Kari Jobe

So this is how it was
A silent night like any other
When heaven sent the one
The one that we will call our savior
And redemption began
In a stable in Bethlehem
