One Winter's Night

Come thou long expected Jesus Born to set Thy people free From our fears and sins release us Let us find our rest in Thee, in Thee Israel's strength and consolation Hope of all the earth Thou art Dear desire of every nation Joy of every longing heart O come O come O come O come Born Thy people to deliver Born a child and yet a king Born to reign in us forever Now Thy gracious kingdom bring O come O come O come O come

Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding “Christ is nigh,” it seems to say “Cast away the works of darkness, O ye children of the day.” Wakened by the solemn warning From earth’s bondage let us rise Christ, our sun, all sloth dispelling Shines upon the morning skies Hear our cries Our hope is in you Hear our cries we pray Look in the sky! It’s a bird its a plane, No! it’s the Lamb that was slain! So we cry out loud with anticipation For our ransom was paid In full, yet my heart full of sorrow Things I’ve done today that I’ll Be ashamed of tomorrow, May I borrow a sleeve to cry? I feel so full of grief inside, I sigh Relieved only believing that for me He died See Jesus I, only hope in you to lead the blind So they can seek and find You the root beneath the vine Can’t wait till you arrive so we can drink the wine Hear our cries Our hope is in you Hear our cries we pray

If only that which is assumed could ever be redeemed Then come to us within a womb, be born and wash our feet And not our feet alone we pray but everything we know That thou O Love would come and stay and all our sorrows go O Love, born today come and find us Search the darkness light the way come and guide us home Yet thou will not be welcomed here still Love, please come and be Our refuge, wipe away our tears though we will murder thee But darkness only turns to day if you become the night And we on you our darkness lay that it be swallowed in light O Love, born today come and find us Search the darkness light the way come and guide us home Oh the sunrise seems so far away Find us, Child of Bethlehem Find us here the Son of Man One winter’s night begins eternal summer morn If only you are born The gods we trusted and became will find no solace here Beside his creatures low and lame the Son of God appears A thousand years of “progress” past, a million hearts beguiled Now Love alone will reign and last, within one little child Blessed One, born today come and find us Search the darkness light the way come and guide us home Oh the sunrise burns the night away Find us Find us Blessed One, born today come and find us Search the darkness light the way come and guide us One winter’s night begins eternal summer morn If only you are born

O come, o come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appears Chaotic, aching, waiting on someone to change it This world we living in is breaking Shaking from the pains of earthquakes, tsunamis and temperature changes, recycling ain’t gonna save it Let’s look at our behavior, a political agenda in a state of complacence don’t even care about the nations Oppressed countries in Africa being raped and enslaved for natural resources we benefit from in the states We in a war worldwide, mind and body Sex trafficking around the globe buying up bodies Young girls and young boys lives destroyed over lust We claim to be religious, where are we putting our trust? We just lost another brother a victim of gang violence Can’t snitch justice fails cause the hood remains silent We got welfare but most the world in poverty crying Sick and dying cause they’re hungry, but no ones replying Man! We in this broken world and no we can’t fix it Demonic world system and its all about the riches Corrupt top to bottom since the fall of our existence We all know it, but just too scared to admit this We try to make a change but no matter how persistent We lack the power because we got evil in us O Lord, my soul’s in deep anguish How long, how long until this pain ends? O come, o come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death’s dark shadow put to flight Hi hater, I mean hi neighbor, we so conformed to this world we don’t see the sinfulness in our nature We’re broken individually, and indeed spiritually We’ll even threaten your death and leave you bleeding fearlessly But the issue is inward, we’re enslaved to our rage Like when a white person uses the n-word Blacks become a bitter race, blame it on The Man Uncle Sams, unforgiveness we put in place Half the time I don’t blame them, we only seem good for entertainment it’s a shame black history’s been erased For a country full of faith, we sh’oll need some grace More divorces than ever new single moms every day What happened to the love? What happened to the vows? What happened to it takes a village to raise a child? We back on the verge of virtual segregation My education tells me I’m going to the state pen Even my own race I have no relation Only misguided hate, but if I have some patience And trust in our God that He’ll bring salvation Not just for you and me but His whole creation Desire of nations bind In one the hearts of all mankind Bid our sad divisions cease And be Thyself our King of Peace Bid our sad divisions cease And be Thyself our King of Peace We need a King! We need a Savior! Someone who can ransom us from our behavior Satan I hate ya! Had a relationship with God but cuz of you we had to break up The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob O Come Emmanuel so we can make up Sin in our hearts left a crimson stain but You can cover our iniquities like a paint brush Until the Son of God appear Until the Son of God appear Until the Son of God appear

Angels we have heard on high Singing sweetly through the night And the mountains in reply Echoing their brave delight Gloria Gloria In excelsis Shepherds, why this jubilee Why these songs of happy cheer What great brightness did you see What glad tidings did you hear Gloria Gloria In excelsis Come to Bethlehem and see Him Whose birth the angels sing Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King Gloria Gloria In excelsis
