Exult In The Savior's Birth

 

 Exult In The Savior's Birth 

Matt Boswell

Verse 1

Shepherds watched their flocks at night,

attending lowly sheep;

Now within a cattle shed,

a much stranger watch they keep.

Today, a Savior has been born

and He is Christ, the Lord;

Placed within a humble trough,

this baby must be adored.

Verse 2

Pagan wise men from the East

seek out the infant King;

Trackless miles behind them lie

and now all their rev’rence bring.

They have come to worship Him

with spices and with gold;

Countless millions seek Him still,

who’s advent was long foretold.

Verse 3

For to us a child is born,

to us a Son is giv’n;

He shall reign in righteousness,

this Counselor King from heav’n.

The government will rest on Him,

He is the mighty God;

Prince of Peace, this gentle King

yet rules with a mighty rod.

Verse 4

Scriptures say that Mary’s boy

was born that he might die;

Angel voices burst in praise,

their harmony fills the sky.

Sing, “Glory in the highest heav’n!”

Sing, “Gracious peace on earth!”

Those on whom His favor rests,

exult in the Saviour’s birth.

For unto us a child is born, 

for unto us a Son is given

A Savior given

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne...

 Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

1) Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,

When Thou camest to earth for me;

But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room

For Thy holy nativity.

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,

There is room in my heart for Thee.

2) Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,

Proclaiming Thy royal degree;

But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,

And in great humility.

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,

There is room in my heart for Thee.

3) The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest

In the shade of the forest tree;

But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,

In the deserts of Galilee.

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,

There is room in my heart for Thee.

4) Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word

That should set Thy people free;

But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,

They bore Thee to Calvary.

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,

There is room in my heart for Thee.

5) When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,

At Thy coming to victory,

Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room,

There is room at My side for thee."

My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,

When Thou comest and callest for me.

VERSE 1

In the darkness we were waiting

Without hope without light

Till from heaven You came running

There was mercy in Your eyes

To fulfil the law and prophets

To a virgin came the Word

From a throne of endless glory

To a cradle in the dirt

CHORUS:

Praise the Father

Praise the Son

Praise the Spirit three in one

God of glory

Majesty

Praise forever to the King of Kings

VERSE 2

To reveal the kingdom coming

And to reconcile the lost

To redeem the whole creation

You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering

You saw to the other side

Knowing this was our salvation

Jesus for our sake You died

VERSE 3

And the morning that You rose

All of heaven held its breath

Till that stone was moved for good

For the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombs

And the angels stood in awe

For the souls of all who’d come

To the Father are restored

VERSE 4

And the Church of Christ was born

Then the Spirit lit the flame

Now this gospel truth of old

Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name

In His freedom I am free

For the love of Jesus Christ

Who has resurrected me

Prayer for Thanksgiving Day

Prayer for Thanksgiving Day

Almighty God, most merciful Father,

you open your hand

 and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

We give you most humble and hearty thanks

that you have crowned the fields with your blessing,

and have permitted us once more

to gather in the fruits of the earth.

Bless and protect the living seed 

of your Word sown in our hearts,

that in the abundant fruits of righteousness

we may always present to you

 an acceptable thank-offering;

through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one true God, now and forever. Amen.

All my attempts to be satisfied

Were vain and empty

Until the moment you rescued me

And your love filled me

My soul sings

Now my soul sings

What blessed assurance

I’ve found in you

I’ve found in you

I won’t be shaken I will not be moved

How steadfast your strong hand

Is keeping me

Is keeping me

I won’t be shaken I will not be moved

Oh blessed assurance

No other love that I’ve ever known

Compares to you God

No other love that I’ve ever found

Has done what you’ve done

Ever my anchor

Ever my strength

Ever my portion

And all I need

Ever my healing

Ever my hope

Ever the truth that leads me home

That leads me home

Prayer for Veterans Day

Dear Lord,

Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless them, Lord, for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us.

Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made for their many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression.

We respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them, and we pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness. In Jesus’ name we pray; Amen. Here

 In My Place

 Kenwood Music 

Verse 1 

God in heaven, high and holy, 

measure of all good and beauty, 

who can stand before the fire of holiness? 

Verse 2 

Sinners here so poor and needy, 

who would come and clear the guilty? 

If you numbered all our sins, Lord, who could stand? 

Chorus 

In my place He stood, 

all my debt nailed to the wood. 

All my stains washed white 

by the blood of Christ, my life. 

Verse 3 

Justice satisfied at Cal’vry; 

sin there silenced by His mercy. 

Where, O death, is your reply to Christ, our King? 

Verse 4 

Saints, forgiven, sing to Jesus; 

bow before the lamb slain for us. 

Hallelujah to the Savior evermore!
