Enter the Story - Merry Christmas


But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. (Luke 2:10-11)

O come o come Emmanuel
And ransom captive hearts that fell
Bring peace on earth and love’s goodwill for everyone

For You so loved the world You gave
Your life for us to heal and save
We hear the whispers of Your grace for everyone (Matt Maher)

We rejoice with the angels,
shepherds and Magi,
The wait is over!
God, our Savior,
Immanuel is come.

We rejoice in your amazing love
that reaches to all and covers all.
Overwhelm us with this love
So high and so wide,
So deep and so long,
Let us live fully in your embrace,
so secure and so strong.

May your love overflow our hearts,
so that we may be people of
mercy and grace and peace.
And let our lives be
an outpouring of your love,
an invitation to all those we meet
to come, find their place in your great story.

We rejoice with the angels,
shepherds and Magi,
God, our Savior,
Immanuel is come. (Dianne Poleme)

Merry Christmas
