O Come O Come Emmanuel
by Randy Thompson
O Come O Come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel
That morns in lonely exile here ‘till the Son of God appears
Rejoice Halleluhjah Rejoice Hallelujah Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Rejoice Halleluhjah Rejoice Hallelujah Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
See the baby sleeping
Quietly He’s keeping
A promise made so long ago of Emmanuel
Set aside His glory
Clothed Himself so poorly
Only eyes of faith can see Emmanuel
Could it be now after so many years
The fruit of our faith is in view
Fervently watered by so many tears
The promise He made will come true
Rejoice Halleluhjah Rejoice Hallelujah Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Rejoice Halleluhjah Rejoice Hallelujah Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
O come Thou Dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night and pierce the clouds and bring us light
Rejoice Halleluhjah Rejoice Hallelujah Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Rejoice Halleluhjah Rejoice Hallelujah Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Rejoice Halleluhjah Rejoice Hallelujah Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Rejoice Halleluhjah Rejoice Hallelujah Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel

O Holy Night
Traditional Christmas Carol
arrangement by Randy Thompson
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviors birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope a weary world rejoices
For yonder lay a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angles voices
O night divine, O night, when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, when Christ was born

Of Sparrows and Lillies
by Randy Thompson
Flowers growing on a hillside
Toil not and neither do they spin
But even Solomon in all of his glory
Was not arrayed as on of them
Consider the sparrows two for a farthing
A penny and a half a meager price
But even the sparrows when they fall to Earth again
Do not escape my Father's eyes
And aren't we more than sparrows and lilies
Who live today and tomorrow are dead
When he loves us more than sparrows and lilies
He's numbered every hair upon my head
And see the grass it grows high in the morning
And in the evening it swiftly fades away
But like the grass we need not worry for tomorrow
But rather live just for today
And learn the lesson of the sparrows and lilies
Who live today and tomorrow die
For He loves us more than sparrows and lilies
For you and me He sent His son to die

Once Upon A Cross
by Randy Thompson
Jesus was a humble man a carpenter by trade
But there was something special about everything he made
Once upon a cross He carved a picture of the price
That it costs to be a carpenter and love what He had made
The scars in the hands of the sculptor are the price that must be paid
Jesus was so in love with everything He touched
His life was the only worthy gift for a world He loved so much
Jesus was a sailor and He walked upon the sea
Stood among the wind and waves that roared so angrily
Jesus called the fishermen to leave their nets behind
And search for the souls of men instead in the midst of an angry sea
Lift them from their worldliness and teach them to be free
Jesus stood among the waves and shouted to the shore
Can you hear Him calling anymore?
And it seems to me fools we'd be
To deny His everlasting love, turn our backs and just
Walk away from the gift He gave
When we were so hopelessly bound in sin
And only the love of Jesus could pay the price
Jesus was the final sacrifice
Jesus was an artist and He painted with His blood
A picture of the price of sin and love the final flood
To wash away the emptiness that stained their weary souls
Gives answers to the questions and reason to our rhyme
Only those who refuse to see are ever truly blind
Jesus rose above it all a moment before He died
Looked out on a weary world
And Jesus cried

One Step
One footstep after another
One purpose appointed to His life
One question He had to answer
And one answer worthy of the right
One moment out of each minute
A prayer he prayed and the answer received
And one reason for His living
And one time He's destined to die
With one hand He heals another
With one word He calmed the sea
One prayer He prayed in the garden
And He chose to die on Calvary
One journey was left for the taking
And He walked it alone up Calvary's hill
And one last moment He saved a sinner
And with the sword His journey fulfilled
With one hand He heals another
With one word He calmed the sea
One prayer He prayed in the garden
And He chose to die on Calvary, on Calvary
