I’m here to meet with You
Come and meet with me
I’m here to find You
Reveal Yourself to me
As I wait (As I wait)
You make me strong
As I long (As I long)
draw me to Your arms
As I stand (As I stand)
and sing Your praise
You come, You come, and fill this place
Won’t You come, won’t You come, and fill this place
Holy Spirit, Have Your Way
Long after the tears fall
I’m still your child
I put down my defenses
and lay down my pride
Love and forgiveness
flow in deep and wide
So I run to you
and surrender all!
As I lay down my life
And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
In times of trouble,
though trials may come
The rock of ages
is standing strong
I’m fighting battles,
but the war is won
So I’ll run to you
and surrender all
As I lay down my life
And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
More of You and less of me, God
More of You and less of me, God
More of You and less of me, God
More of You overflow—ing
As I lay down my life
And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!

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
O Lord, I bring an offering to You

Reflection | What Child Is This/Child of the Poor
[Girls]
What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet
With anthems sweet
While shepherds watch
Are keeping
[Guys]
Helpless and hungry
Lowly, afraid
Wrapped in the child of mid-winter
Comes now among us
Born into poverty’s embrace
New life for the world
[All]
Who is this who lives with the lowly
Sharing their sorrows
Knowing their hunger
This is Christ revealed to the world
In the eyes of a child
A child of the poor
[Girls continue to sing “What Child Is This” while Guys sing below]
Who is the stranger
Here in our midst
Looking for shelter among us
Who is the outcast
Who do we see amid the poor
The children of God
[Girls]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary
[Guys]
Who is this who lives with the lowly
Sharing their sorrows
Knowing their hunger
This is Christ revealed to the world
In the eyes of a child
A child of the poor
[Girls]
What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet
With anthems sweet
While shepherds watch
Are keeping
[Guys]
Bring all the thirsty
All who seek peace
Bring those with nothing to offer
Strengthen the feeble
Say to the frightened heart, “Fear not
Here is your God”
[Build up rhythm and beat]
[Girls]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary
[Guys]

Sharing their sorrows
Knowing their hunger
This is Christ revealed to the world
In the eyes of a child
A child of the poor
