Entrance | Christmas Offering

Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wise men seeking truth traveled from afar
Hoping to find the child from Heaven
Falling on their knees
they bowed before the humble Prince of Peace

I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering to You

The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
before the Holy One of Heaven
It’s only by Your blood
and it’s only through Your mercy Lord, I come

I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You

Offertory | We Behold Our King

The angel of the Lord appeared to Mary
Rejoice, O favored daughter of the Lord
You shall conceive and bear a Son
and you shall call him Jesus

My soul rejoices in the Lord
and my spirit finds its joy in God, my Savior
for He has looked upon His servant in her lowliness
and all those to come shall call me blest

And we behold our King
laid in a manger now
He is the Prince of Peace
God’s only Son
He will give us the Word of truth
offer the bread of life
and the glory of the Lord will be revealed
and the glory of the Lord will be revealed

The angel of the Lord came to shepherds
Fear not, I bring good tidings of great joy
This day in David’s city your Savior is born
Let glory fill the land

And we behold our King
laid in a manger now
He is the Prince of Peace
God’s only Son
He will give us the Word of truth
offer the Bread of life
and the glory of the Lord will be revealed
and the glory of the Lord will be revealed

We gather here today
to celebrate the birth of the one who gives us life
Make us servants of You, Lord
as we walk the path of love
that was walked by Christ, Your Son

And we behold our King
laid in a manger now
He is the Prince of Peace
God’s only Son
He will give us the Word of truth
offer the Bread of life
and the glory of the Lord will be revealed
and the glory of the Lord will be revealed

Love has come to save
Love a child and a redeemer
Jesus born this day

Peace for all on earth
Faith fulfilled and vict’ry promised
Hope for a humble birth

Jesus Christ, the Lord

Holy, holy
Glory to God on high
Holy, holy
Love has captured the night
