God Became King
04:35
|

|
Unto us a child is born,
To us a son is giv'n
The government shall rest on him,
Creator clothed in skin, in skin
that hope the poor receive
the blind are made to see
to set the captives free
and all oppression, all oppression cease
Peace to the earth, our salvation
Prepare a way for him
The lord is come, to undo sin,
For earth to be as heav’n
The dead will be revived,
The ground brings forth new life
All peoples reunite,
His law of love, his law of love, realized
Good news of greatest joy, angels rejoice
Let heav’n and nature sing
The word has been made flesh, Emmanuel
Our God became our king
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations bow
His justice and his righteousness
Forever shall resound, resound
Wake up oh earth and sing
All creatures of our god and king
Wake up oh earth and sing
Our God became our king

Foxes
04:34
|
|||
|
The son of God in heaven sat
His precious bride to purchase back
in obedience, emptied himself
to satisfy the Father's wrath
Born in a filthy stable
To a virgin and a son of David
A laborer, had not laid with her
Commanded by God to stay with her
Chorus:
Foxes have holes and birds have nests
But he had no place to lay his head
Said "Come to me and you'll find rest"
Washing our feet as servants did
In a quiet town, spent his child hood
He waited and he worked with wood
He humbly obeyed, secretly prayed
Never was a man so misunderstood
Confounding all who found him there
Pious men gave jealous glares
Good news declared, forgiveness shared
The Father's burden he did bear
Ripped to shreds his body hung
Crucified thirty-three years young
With crown of thorns, all heaven mourned
For three long days death thought it'd won
Chorus 2:
Ascended, now beck'ning all acclaim
Through shed of blood, made white our staines
Resurrected up from the grave
eternal anthem, "Jesus Reigns!"

Justice Roll
04:01
|
|||
|
this is the fast i take
to loose the chains,
injustice brings
to open our fields,
for the poor to glean
to work and eat, affirm dignity
this is my purest faith,
to give an orphan a name,
the widow honored place
to welcome and receive,
unbordered hospitality
the broken and refugee, just as god invited me
let justice roll down, like a river flow out
we scream our hope loud, a Jericho sound
to break these walls
to the ground, the ground
it is shalom we crave
the wholeness in God's reign
for this we were saved,
to seek and bless,
all the lost and all the oppressed,
to release and cancel all debt
as was done for us in christ's flesh
his kingdom celebration
joining with tribes of every nation
As reconciled people of all races
he has won our emancipation

Jesus Shall Reign
05:23
|
|||
|
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
does its successive journeys run
his kingdom will stretch from shore to shore
‘til moons shall rise and set no more
people and tribes of every tongue
dwell in his love with sweetest song
And children’s voices shall proclaim,
their early praises of his name
All the redeemed shall praise his name
worthy is the king who was slain for us
mighty is the power of his great love
all your people shout,
forever we cry out, “Hail Jesus!”
Blessings abound where’er he reigns,
The prisoner leaps to loose his chains
All weary find eternal rest
And all those in need are truly blessed
All those in need, through Christ, are blessed
all hail the power of Jesus’ name,
let angels prostrate fall
bring forth the royal diadem
and crown him lord of all
let every creature, every tribe
on this terrestrial ball
to him all majesty ascribe
and crown him lord of all

Kingdom Come
05:33
|
|||
|
we are the bride of Christ,
we are a holy people,
redeemed and reconciled,
being sanctified for freedom
in word and deed we testify
to the reign of our God on high
So let your Kingdom come; let your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Consummate your reign, our liberating King
Come restore all of your creation
we are the body of Christ,
we’re God’s adopted children
Each unique, yet unified,
a family of the forgiven
we’re the hands and feet of the crucified
a single living sacrifice
So let your Kingdom come;
let your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
We labor in your name
responding to your grace
God restore all of your creation
we resolve to seek your kingdom first
empower us, God unify your Church
bring shalom, and reconcile the world
In word and deed we testify
to the reign of our God on high
the hands and feet of the crucified
a single living sacrifice
