COME SEE THE CHILD BORN IN BETHLEHEM
VERSE 1
Come see the child born in Bethlehem
He won’t be just any man
Born of a virgin and raised to be a King
He is the gift He brings
VERSE 2
There were shepherds in the field that night
While God watched o’er His Son
God’s glory shown up in the sky
The men were too afraid to run
PRE-CHORUS 1
The angel spoke unto the men, “I bring you tidings of great joy!
Come see the child born in Bethlehem underneath the starry sky.”
CHORUS
And tho’ He’s always been in glory, tonight He’s born as you and I
Held in His mother’s arms while angels gathered nigh
VERSE 3
When the angels left for heaven that night
The shepherds went to see the one
“Let us go to Bethlehem and see
The one God has made known to us.”
VERSE 4
So will you come see this child born in Bethlehem
To some He’s just any other man
What will you do with Jesus the Christ
Give Him your life, this Christmas night
PRE-CHORUS 2
Glory to God in the highest and peace on all the earth
Come and see the Messiah, lay down everything of worth
CHORUS
And tho’ He’s always been in glory, tonight He’s born as you and I
Held in His mother’s arms while angels gathered nigh

Christmas Shines With Easter Glory
Verse 1
Christmas shines with Easter glory
New birth, new skin, new life
Amidst the pain, a-midst con-fusion
He guides us safely thru the nite
Guides us safely thru the nite

Shepherds watching, angels soaring
Under gaze of heavenly host
Baby born for resurrection
Blood will bring His children home
Blood will bring His children home

Christ is born, restoration day
Easter glory coming soon
Holy Advent, His returning
Great the harvest, welcomed home
Great the harvest, welcomed home
Verse 3
Have you come here to the Savior
What gift now to Him you bring
He who saved you from dam-nation
Offer all to Christ your King
Offer all to Christ your King

The herald sings, the baby cries

Filled with glory, robed in wonder
And the Father’s Holy Ghost
Repeat Chorus
Ending
Christmas shines with Easter glory
New birth, new skin, new life
We owe it all to Jesus Christ

Head To Heart
Verse 1
Why have you come here tonight, to worship the child born of God?
Does it make you feel good inside? Is it more than tradition or not?
Chorus
Jesus Christ was born to die, on this very night
Invite Him from your head to your heart, to receive everlasting life.
Verse 2
Angels and Archangels are around us as we meet
Bowing to the King of kings. Lay your gift down at His feet.
Verse 3
He will replace your cape of fear, resentments and your woes
And place on you His righteousness as He lays on you His robe
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4
So be still and watch in silence this holy newborn babe
Born for us this Christmas night, He’ll shed His blood so we can be saved
Verse 5
It’s hard for us to imagine, but God’s ways are not our own
How the very Son of God for us would leave His throne
Verse 6
Oh how He must have been lonely and longed for a friend
That’s why you find yourself here tonight, come and find your friend.
Bridge
The friend of a lifetime, almighty God, The friend who fills you with His peace
The friend who loves you no matter what, He invites you to come sit at His feet.
Repeat Chorus

Mary’s Gift
Verse 1
Lord I don’t know what to do, I’m so tired all I can think is to trust You
I ache so much and I’m so cold
But I can’t wait for my child to behold tonight, He’s my Christmas light.
Chorus 1
He’s my Christmas light so I can see
Your love for us and Your love for me, shining bright
He’s my Christmas gift tonight.
Verse 2
You give this boy as a gift unto the world
But they can’t see what I see, feel what I feel
I’m holding onto the Savior of the world
And I’m giving Him up to You my Lord
You know I promised You that before He was born
But tonight…Let me hold Him tight.
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2
He’s my Christmas light, but it saddens me
I’m giving Him up to set everyone free tonight so…
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
