EMMANUEL
by Sarah Weir
Behold to you, O Bethlehem
There will be One who will come
Though you are so small among Judah
He will come, from long ago
He will come and bring
He will come and bring to you a sign
Emmanuel, Oh Israel
God is with us, God before us
Emmanuel, Go and tell
God is with us, God is for us
Behold to you, O Israel
He will come, a Shepherd and King
He will stretch from His hand a mighty sceptre
From the gates of Zion He will lead
THE PROMISE
by Sarah Weir
Have I told you, son, what was told to us
How we came to know our God?
He was just a man with a blade in his hand
held between his dear heart and his only son
as our God looked upon His faithful one
He said, "Abram! Spare your son.
For he is the heir to a kingdom come.
Your descendants will be like the stars in the sky"
So it came to pass that the promise would last
in the steady right hand of our God
In their faith and fight to live godly and right
Our fathers did walk in the path He chose
and it lead us Egypt where Pharaoh rose
But he said, "Moses spare my sons!
For they are my people, my chosen ones
You will lead them to a Land I have made for them
and I will be their God”
So the story goes that our pharaoh chose
To be hardened, though plagues filled the skies
But our God had planned through a Spotless Lamb
To atone every household with stripes of blood
The Angel of Death saw no fault in us
And at the evening light
though tears of sadness had filled their eyes
the Angel of Death passed over us that night
my child, never forget our God
our God

Song of Deliverance
by Stephanie Weir Andrews
The Lord is my strength, my song
for He has become my salvation
He is my God and I will praise Him
God of our Fathers, exalted
Your right hand, Oh Lord, in power
has shattered the darkest of enemies
Surging waters stood still as walls
As we walked in victory
The Lord is a warrior, Yahweh His name
Chariots and armies will fall
The Lord is His name
Nations will fall to His side
to Yahweh, be lifted High
Enemies came and pursued
drawing their swords, ready for battle
but with one breath, You covered the sea
and conquered our enemy
Sing to the Lord, Highly exalted
The horse and rider, He has thrown into the sea
Sing to the Lord, Highly exalted
The bonds He breaks, they are thrown into the deep
Sing to the Lord, highly exalted
The chains and fetters He has thrown into the sea
Sing to the Lord, Highly exalted
A slave no more, we are free, we are free
Shepherd Song
by Stephanie Weir Andrews
Lord You are my shepherd
I shall not want anything
You make me lie down in green pastures
And by the still water streams
You restore my soul till I’m Your’s forevermore
You lead me to righteousness for Your Name’s sake
And yea, though I walk through the valley
I will fear no death, I will fear no evil
For You have promised You’ll go with me
And comfort me with Your peace
And in the presence of enemies a table sits before me
You bring forth Your oil and anoint my head
And my cup overflows
And my cup overflows
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all my days
And I will dwell in Your house, forever
Forever bringing You praise

Hold On
by Sarah Weir
Hold on tight, Don’t be afraid
Though the sun may seem like it’s
going down
Be strong, and know Who’s you are
Though arrows fall, He covers me
He covers me, a shield to my heart
Though thousands fall, He covers me
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Just To Be With You
by Sarah Weir
Who can this be?Who looks down as the dawn?
Beautiful moon, she is bright as the sun
Capture my heart with one glance of your eyes
I am your love, and my love, you are mine
Waters cannot quench this love
Nor a flood drown it out
I would give my life to hold you,
to love you, all of my days
Just to be with you, my love
Just to be with you
I would give my life, my all
Just to be with you
Who can this be? who came down as a man
Bearing the weight of the world through pierced hands
Capture our hearts, fill the darkness with light
You are the King, we have waited to find
Waters cannot quench this love
Nor a flood drown it out
I have given all to love you
For this love, I’ve given my life

He Is Here
by Sarah Weir
Lost and broken heart
Need to find somewhere to go?
Lost and weary one
Come and find your way back home
Here, oh beggar, here
Come and find this Kingdom come
Poor and widowed one
Come and know redeeming love
He has come, the Son of God
Here with us, He came to love
A lost and broken world
And I believe, I believe
He is here to save us all
Come to Him little ones
Come and claim your kingdom thrones
Child-kings and little queens
You are the inheritors
Come, you prodigal
Come and find you are a son
Come you sinner come
You are never too far gone
For He has come, the Son of God
Come Come Come and see
Hosanna Hosanna, behold our King
Come Come Come and see
Hosanna Hosanna, He is the King

Adonai
by Sarah Weir
Long ago before the dawning of our time
You were there to breathe the breath of life
Through the desert wandering children called Your name
Though their doubts prevailed, Your light displayed
Adonai, Adonai,
Adonai, Adonai We Praise Your name
Through Jerusalem, You rode the streets that day
Bringing to all men salvation’s way
Like a Lamb led to the slaughter, You were prey
Silently afflicted, You obeyed
Sing for joy, you heavens, for the Lord redeems
Shout aloud your praises, earth beneath
He is risen, all creation rise and sing
Sing of our Messiah, He is King
The Return
by Sarah Weir
[Instrumental Piece] The piece is meant to represent the time period after the death of Messiah, spanning the years throughout the ancient church with the awakening of the Gentiles and into today, a period of waiting for the Messiah to return. We wait in anticipation as time quickens towards His return, but we live in the victory and remembrance of His resurrection and promises.
In the ethereal musical motifs of the piece as it transforms, it alludes to the signs and wonders that point towards His nearing return.
The nations wait in anxious anticipation of his victorious Return and the future Millennial reign.

Reign
by Sarah Weir
Eternal flame
Call us by name
Come to our aid in fire and rain
Humbled by you we bow
All of the earth resounds
You are our God, You are our King
For unto us, You’ve come
For unto us, a Son
and Your name will reign forevermore
You are the Mighty One
You are our Saving love
And Your name will reign always
Spirit of grace,
Pour out in haste
Upon the house of David You reign
Fill up our hearts with fire,
You are our one desire
And we proclaim Your name in praise
Chorus 2:
For unto us, You’ve come
For unto us, a Son
And Your name will reign forevermore
Nations will all bow down
Kingdoms will lay their crowns
And Your name will reign always
I Know You're Here
by Sarah Weir
You told the story of your love across the ages
The scribes adored your every word
You threaded lives throughout the fabric of these pages
Together, they, Your sermon told
Could they really know
How far you'd go
I know You're here
I see you in the blazing fire
Hear what You desire
I know You're near
I see you in the hidden places
Whispered words are my oasis now
You spoke a word into our mortal time and language
In humbleness you gave it all
You knew our hearts would wander far beyond our saving
You knew the cost to bring us home
Open up the sky, open up the heavens
Let your beauty fire fall
Open up the seals of the end of ages
Your word is written there in stone
Our ears will hear
Our hearts draw near
I know You're here
I see you in the blazing fire
Hear what You desire
I know You're near
I see you in the hidden places
Help me hear You in the whisper now
I know You’re here
