New Songs for Christmas

As we introduce new worship songs at Maple Avenue, we will share them here to introduce you to them. This will help you become familiar with the song, and come ready to sing it!

“Love Comes Down” by Lauren Daigle

Verse 1

I brought You all my foolish crowns
With trembling hands I laid them down
Expecting wrath to be poured out
But You placed mercy on my brow

Verse 2

Still my best is nothing less
Than filthy rags and emptiness
One drop of blood raised me from death
And You see me through Your righteousness
And I'm singing

Chorus

Oh how sweet amazing grace
Wraps me in a warm embrace
Oh my heart rejoice I was lost now found
All my praise goes up as Your love comes down

Verse 3

Now daily I walk safe secure
Even through trouble You endure
I’m not afraid for I am sure
That You are mine and I am Yours
So I'm singing

Bridge

What a great day that will be
When I stand there at my Savior’s feet
Singing thank you for all eternity
All my praise goes up as Your love comes down

“He Has Come For Us (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)” by Meridith Andrews

Verse 1
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray

Pre-Chorus
O tidings of comfort and joy comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Chorus
He has come for us this Jesus
He's the hope for all mankind
He has come for us the Messiah
Born to give us life
(He is born to give us life)

Verse 2
From God our heav'nly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name

Bridge
All the angels sing hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born
All the children sing hallelujah
He is Christ the Lord

Ending
Angels sing hallelujah
Jesus Christ is Lord
All the children sing hallelujah
He is Christ the Lord

“Glory (Let There Be Peace)” by Matt Maher

Verse 1
One star
Burns in the darkness
Shines with the promise Emmanuel
One child
Born in the stillness
Living within us Emmanuel

Chorus
We're singing Glory Glory
Let there be peace let there be peace
Singing Glory Glory
Let there be peace let it start in me

Verse 2
One voice
Speaks for the voiceless
Hope for the hopeless Emmanuel
One love
Brings us together
Now and forever Emmanuel

Bridge
Do not be afraid
His love is strong enough to save us
Nothing stands in the way
His love is strong enough to lead us
