The Beginning of Our Song

The word alive
the first note of creation
God with us
our Lord, Emmanuel

Christ is the center
the cause of our singing
the beginning of our song
shared with the whole world

We must be singing
joyful in our waiting
sharing Christ to all
to everyone we meet

We should be sharing
offering our witness
the healing of the world
because God loves us so much

Offering himself
coming from heaven
redeeming the world
through the way of the cross

The blood of the lamb
offered in witness
to the love of God
for all the people on earth

We join together singing,
with the saints and the angels
the song of our Redeemer
of our Savior, our King
