Until Your Son called out to me I was lost
For years my cradle swung above the grave
It is a wondrous thing to be adopted by a king
To know a love that crowns and crucifies
When Your Spirit moves I breath a prayer to You
A cry not from my mouth but from the heart
Because

"Arise, My Love"
Arise, my love, my lovely one come,
Winter is past and the rains are gone.
The flowers appear, it's the season of song,
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.
Who is it that appears like the dawn?
As fair as the moon, as bright as the sun?
Show me

Come out of her, my people, and never go back again
For all her vulgar vanities have been heaped up as high as heaven
The nations drank her maddening wine
Now God remembered all her crimes
She'll be paid back double for all that she has done

CHORUS:
Fallen, fallen

He is in the pain, He is in the need
He is in the poor, we are told to feed
Though He was rich, for us He became poor
How could He give so much, what was it for?

In His distressing disguise
He waits for us to surmise
That we rob our brothers by all that we own
And t

A vile, enormous dragon
With heads and horns and crowns
And a tail that swept the stars from heaven
And cruelly cast them down
He lurked before the woman about to bear her Son
The One who'll rule the nations with a rod of iron

CHORUS:
Now has come our salvati

Seems I've imagined Him all of my life
As the wisest of all of mankind
But if God's Holy wisdom is foolish to men
He must have seemed out of His mind

For even His family said He was mad
And the priest say a demon's to blame
But God in the form of this angry young man

CHORUS(1):
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Salvation and honor and glory belong to our God
Amen!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
See now the one who corrupted the earth is condemned

VERSE(1):
Death for the dark adulteress
Destroyed at last forever
By His judgments,

A sign shall be given
A virgin will conceive
A human baby bearing
Undiminished deity
The glory of the nations
A light for all to see
Hope for all who will embrace
His warm reality

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand agai

There is a joy in the journey
There's a light we can love on the way
There is a wonder and wildness to life
And freedom for those who obey

And all those who seek it shall find it
A pardon for all who believe
Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind

To all who

When I consider the secret of the One
Who dwells in me
That there is truly a presence
In the heart that will believe
To listen to a silent call
The quiet hunger to give it all

As the river seeks to be
Forgotten in the sea
So my soul is so thirsty
It longs fo

Michael Card
Long ago He blessed the earth
Born older than the years
And in the stall the cross He saw
Through the first of many tears
A life of homeless wandering
Cast out in sorrow's way
The Shepherd seeking for the lost
His life the price He paid
Chorus

I saw the Holy City
Descending from the sky
So brilliant with the light of God
The city is His bride
There is no temple in this town
No sun, no moon, no lamp
For God's own glory is it's light
Illuminated by the Lamb
And God Himself will wipe the tears

Behold a blood-washed multitude
Before the throne of God
Day and night they serve Him in the temple
As the faithful throng wave their palms
From every tribe and nation
A here-to-fore unheard of roar of joy and jubilation

CHORUS:
Salvation belongs to our God <

The seers and the prophets had foretold it long ago
That the long awaited one would make men stumble
But they were looking for a king to conquer and to kill
Who'd have ever thought He'd be so weak and humble
Chorus
He will be the truth that will offend them one and all
A

Victorious army with God-given hearts in their hands
A sea on fire, they all sing the song of the Lamb

Just and true are Your ways, King of Ages
So great and marvelous are all Your deeds
Oh Lord God Almighty, who will not fear You
And bring the glory to Your Name

The seers and the prophets had foretold it long ago
That the long awaited one would make men stumble

Who'd have ever thought He'd be so weak and humble

He will be the truth that will offend them one and all

I know your deeds, I've seen your service
I recognize the reputation of your lives
But I know you live near Satan's shadow
And I have seen your faithful struggles to survive

And to the one who overcomes I'll give the manna
He'll have a pure white stone with his own sec

Hear the roaring at the rim of the world
See what every eye shall see
Behold He's coming with the clouds
Setting all the captives free
And those who longed to see this day
Will tremble with delight
As a sea of upturned faces there
Is bathed in endless light

I wept, for none was worthy to open the scroll
Or to look upon what it contained
Then a voice said, "See the Lion of the Tribe of Judah"
So I looked to the Lion
And saw a Lamb that was slain

You are worthy to take up and open the scroll
For You are the Lamb that w
