Track 1: Psalm 80
Hear, O Shepherd of Israel
Thou that leadest Joseph
We, Thy people, seek Thy face
O, guide us LORD today
Help us never stray from Thee
Keep us in the way of Thine
Hold us closely in Thy hand
Protect us, LORD, we pray
Help us and keep us,
Turn us again
Cause Thy face to shine, O God,
And we shall be saved
Return, O Lord, we beseech Thee
Look down, O God of hosts
See us from Thy place above
And visit us in love
Let Thy hand be upon us
Deliv’ring from all evil
Quicken and revive our hearts
And we will praise Thy name
Track 2: Broken, Shattered
Broken, shattered! I’m all that is left
Beaten, battered! Searching for a cleft
Struggles before me; death stands behind
People surround me cold and unkind
Broken, shattered! The dark fills my eyes
Beaten, battered! Endless death my prize
Empty inside of me, froze to the core
Wanting not to be here anymore
Broken, shattered! The Lord in my place
Beaten, battered! Can you see His face?
He bled and died for me; free I could go
No one but Jesus ever loved me so
Jesus, Savior, He’s waiting for you
Lay down your arms; trust His word is true
He can revive you, make you to grow
Surrender your all to Him, then you will know
Put your trust in Him and you can know
Track 3: The Cross of Jesus
Before the cross of Jesus the symbol of His love
Lay all the sin and sorrow of those He came to save
The great redeeming Savior, the Carpenter and King
Gave up His flesh for wicked men, His children’s way to pave
How could a child of sorrow receive eternal peace?
How could a God of justice forgive our wickedness?
The Answer born a baby, grew up a perfect Man
And suffered for His chosen ones while on the cross He bled
Upon the Lord was laden the sins of fallen men
A perfect substitution, His blood has made us clean
We need no other offering; The Lamb of God was slain
His wound have paid the sinners’ way; our pardon is secure
But the story was not over. O, death, where is your sting?
The Conqueror, the Son of God, has risen from the grave
Now as Christ has joined His Father as the Victor over death
His children have a hope secure, a joy that’s measureless
Track 4: Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me to lie down in pastures green
And He leads me beside the still waters flow
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
My soul He restores;
My way He contrives
He faithfully leads me in righteous paths
For the sake of His name, His glorious name
Though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for You are with me
Thy rod and Thy staff, they still comfort me
Before me a table
You will prepare
In the company of my enemies
You anoint my head; my cup overflows
Track 5: A Plea for Joy
As we come to You lifting up Your name
To magnify for men Your glory, Lord
Let us fix our eyes on Your matchless splendor
Let us lose ourselves in Your loveliness
Bringing empty hands before Your throne
Won’t You fill our hearts with Your endless joy?
Predispose our hearts to Your glorious truths
As You turn our thoughts from all earthly gain
From the highest peak to the lowest valley
All creation speaks of Your awesome power
As You flung the stars from Your fingers, Lord
Let Your glory fill our hearts with joy
Father, hear our plea; open up our eyes
That we might behold the wonders of Your law
May we see Your love, Your grace and mercy
May we see Your justice and Your strength
May we see You, Lord, as You truly are
And let Your holiness fill our hearts with joy
Please unite our hearts wholly to delight
To fear Your name, and to know Your grace
May You satisfy our endless longings
That we may rejoice for all our days
May the world’s false hope fade into the night
Let the morning bring Your glorious light
Fill our hearts today with Your glorious light
Track 6: Psalm 1
Blessed is the one who turns away
From where the wicked walk,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths
Or sit with those who mock.
Instead he finds God’s holy law
His joy and great delight;
He makes the precepts of the LORD
His study day and night.
He prospers ever like a tree
That’s planted by a stream,
And in due season yields its fruit;
Its leaves are always green.
Not so the wicked! They are like
The chaff that’s blown away
They will not stand when judgment comes
Or with the righteous stay.
It is the LORD who sees and knows
The way the righteous go,
But those who live an evil life
The LORD will overthrow.
Track 7: Paul’s Hymn
He is the image of invisible God,
The firstborn of all creatures
For by Him all things were made
In Heaven and on earth
Visible and invisible
Whether thrones or dominions
Rulers or authorities
All things were made through Him and for Him
He is before all things
And in Him all things consist
And He is the head of the body
The church
Christ, the beginning, firstborn from the dead
Preeminent in all things
For in Him all the fullness of God
Was pleased to dwell
And through Him to reconcile
To Himself all things
Whether on earth or in heaven
Making peace by the blood of His cross
Track 8: Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day of by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light
Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father and I Thy true Son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee, One
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance now and always
Thou and Thou only be first in my heart
High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art
High King of Heaven, my victory win
May I reach Heaven’s joys, I bright Heaven’s sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
Track 9: Psalm 117
Let every nation, tribe, and tongue Praise the Lord for what He’s done Sing of His wonder, His glory, His fame His faithfulness is forever
For great is His love It’s matchlessness proclaim Sing of His love His faithfulness is forever
Track 10: I Remember the Cross
Lord Jesus, I remember Your sacrifice
You saved me from my sin its vice
It held me to crush me; I could not escape
Until You came and took my blame
Lord, I remember the cross
I remember the death you died for me
Lord, I remember the cross
You took my stain, my sin, my guilt
And bore them on that tree
I remember Calvary
Dear Savior, I remember the day You came
Into my life, You gave me Your name
The price has been paid, there is naught left to do
Please take my heart, it’s all for You
O Father, I thank You that You have seen
The blood of Your Son has washed me so clean
His white robes we’ll wear when forever is here
For by the cross, I can draw near
Track 11: Hope for All Years
Jesus, You are my glorious Savior
King, oh Most High, my Sustainer
You breathe Your life into me
Wondrous grace that I have not
Deserved; You gave what I cannot
Beaten, bruised, and afflicted for me
This is Your world
This is Your sovereignty
This is my hope for all years
You hold the sun
All nature bows down to you
This is my hope for all years
Jesus, You’re my salvation
Redeemer, Healer, and Comforter
You hold me from the world’s anomie
Prince of peace that the world cannot Take in;
Waves crash around me, but
You always shelter me under your wing
Track 12: Here I Am
Here I am Lord my God
Still my heart and lift my eyes
To see You, to hear You
Reveal Your mind my hard heart to break
Take my feet and set them straight
To see You, to hear You
How can I hunger when you fill me?
I long to stand in Your presence Lord
You fill my cup, it’s never empty
Oh, Father God, reveal Yourself to me
My soul longs for more of You
Though evil comes You guide me through
To see You, to hear You
Here I am, what more can I do?
I’ll hold my breath as I wait for You.

Track 1: Worth My All
Instrumental
Track 2: My Lord, My Savior
When the storm is raging o’er
You’re the hope I’m waiting for
You’re the Shield of my soul
You’re the One that makes me whole
And when the night is closing in
Still Your light shines from within
You are strong when I am weak
You’re the shelter that I seek
My God, my Rock, to whom I flee
My Lord, my Savior!
Though waves of death encompass me
You pick me up and set me free
My God, my Rock, to whom I flee
My Lord, my Savior!
When my path is rough and steep
When the night is dark and deep
You hold me safely with Your hand
The world is all Yours to command
When evil men around me press
You are there in my distress
With Your arm I shall prevail
Within Your will I cannot fail
It is Your hand that holds me up
You fill and overflow my cup
For who is God, except the Lord
Who trains my hands to wield the Sword
Track 3: Hannah’s Song
She was loving, faithful but only one
She was broken, longing for a son
With hope and patience, she endured through years
But scorned and shattered, she was brought to tears
But in her distress she cried out to the Lord
Father, O Father! Hear your child in sorrow grieving
Remember, remember! Oh, Father, don’t forget me now
Touch me; heal me; my soul is numb; my tears are streaming
Her lips were moving but without a word
Her heart was asking; she knew her Lord had heard
Grief and sorrow pouring from her soul
Faithful Hannah, her Lord would make her whole
Deal graciously and give to me
And I will dedicate this gift for Thee
Track 4: Holy God
Holy God, You are wise
You are kind, You are just
You are wonderful; You are all I need
You watch; You hear;
You know all things
You are Life; You are Love
And You are the Truth
Holy God You are One
You are Father and Son
You are Spirit and Life
There is no dark in You
You give hope; You give peace
You give all I need
You give joy; You give grace
You are Almighty
Holy God, set apart
High above all things
You are good to all
Your mercy endures
Holy God
Track 5: A New Song
Father of might, Father of joy
Father, You knew me before
You created the world
As I sing this song of praise
I stand in awe of Your glorious
Power and majesty
And I lift up to You
A new song
The word of the Lord is upright
Let all of the nations rejoice!
For the work of the Father
Is done in faithfulness
Creation exists by Your Word
Your breath, its sustaining pow’r
You gather the waters; together the universe
Shows us your loveliness
Our Father Who sees every man
Who fashioned the hearts of us all
Who understands all of our works and our attitudes
Be forever praised
A king is not saved by his might
A warrior not by his strength
But the Father who nullifies all of the plans of the
Nations brings victory
Track 6: The Foot of the Cross
At the foot of the cross where my Lord was slain
I lay down my burdens as You cleanse my stain
The suffering Servant, Obedient Son
Your righteousness given, the victory won
At the foot of the cross where goodness met hate
Death met it’s victor, the Tempter his fate
A shameful reminder of the wages of sin
A beautiful promise of the life found therein
At the foot of the cross as day turned to night
Eternity witnessed as wrong was made right
Your holy submission, O Ancient of Days,
To restore Your people, Your kingdom to raise
At the foot of the cross Your people draw near
To worship our Savior, the gospel to hear
The world’s chief possessions grow dim in the blaze
Of the glorious beauty that Your cross displays
Track 7: My Salvation
The Lord is on my side
I will not fear though man stands against me
The Lord, my strength, my song
And my salvation
Let joyful songs resound
From the hearts of your righteous children
“The right hand of our God
Is my salvation”
Give thanks unto our God
His saving love endures forever
To You I lift my song
You’re my salvation
Track 8: I’d Rather Have Jesus
I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I’d rather be His than have riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or land
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
Than to be the king of a vast domain or be held in sins dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today
He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead
Track 9: Psalm 51
O my God, have mercy on me
In Your steadfast love, I pray
In Your infinite compassion
My transgressions wipe away
Cleanse me from iniquity;
Wash my sin away from me
For I know my own transgressions;
I can see my sinful plight
You, You only, I’ve offended,
And done evil in Your sight;
So Your words are verified,
And Your verdict justified
Cleanse with hyssop, purify me;
I’ll be whiter than the snow
Let the bones You crushed be joyful;
May I joy and gladness know
From my failure hide Your face;
Blot out all my wickedness.
Lord, create a pure heart in me,
And a steadfast mind renew
Do not take Your Spirit from me;
Cast me not away from You
Give me back the joy I had;
Keep my willing spirit glad
Sacrifice does not delight You,
Else my tribute I would bring;
Nor do You take any pleasure
In a whole burnt offering
Contrite heart as sacrifice,
You, O God, will not despise
Track 10: Solomon’s Prayer
You give rest to the weary and
Strength to the needy
Your promises never fail
Your greatness be magnified
Majesty glorified
Mercy and justice prevail
Who is like You, oh God?
Too vast for the heavens
Yet do You dwell in my heart?
Who can describe You, oh God?
Can all of creation
Even relate just a part?
You hear when Your people cry out
And so we cry out with one voice!
Show us Your mercy, oh God!
When sin overtakes us
Hear us and refine our hearts
Oh Lord God do not turn away!
Let all of your saints rejoice
In all that Your goodness imparts
You hear when Your people cry out
And so we cry out with one voice!
Track 11: You’re My God
You are water to my soul
You’re the One that makes me whole
You’re my strength; You’re my hope
You’re the bread I hunger for
I won’t hunger any more
You’re my strength; You’re my hope
Where can I go but to you my God?
Bringer of life, Holy One
Jesus, Your words are life eternal
Beautiful Lamb, You’re my God
You are light for faded eyes
Your glory splits the skies
You’re my strength; You’re my hope
When I’m lost and all alone
You’re the door that leads me home
You’re my strength; You’re my hope
You’re the shepherd of Your sheep
Gave Your life our souls to keep
You’re my strength; You’re my hope
Those in You will never die
Resurrection and the Life
You’re my strength; You’re my hope
You’re the Way, the Life, the Truth
You’re the Vine that giveth fruit
You’re my strength; You’re my hope
Son of God and Son of Man
Prince of Peace and great I AM
You’re my strength; You’re my hope
Track 12: Though You Slay Me
Though You slay me, I will trust You
Though You take my health away
If You take my family from me
From Your side I will not stray
If You move me ‘cross an ocean
If You put me with the poor
If You take my baby from me
If You slam shut every door
Yet Your Word will go before me
“Only trust Him,” I will say
All that comes You turn to goodness
You are the Truth, the Life, the Way
Though You slay me I will trust You
Though You take all that I am
You are worth more than the world
And I’ve been purchased by the Lamb
You are worth more than the world
And I’ve been purchased by the Lamb
Track 13: Take My Life and Let It Be
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated Lord to Thee
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee
Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages for Thee
Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose
Take my will and make it Thine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart, it is Thine own
It shall be Thy royal throne
Take my love my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
Ever only all for Thee
Track 14: Worth My All (Reprise)
You are worth my all
You are worth my all
You are worth my everything
Father, when You call,
If I lose it all
You are worth my everything
Euangelion Christmas!

Track 1: Away In A Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And bring us to heaven to live with Thee there
And bring us to heaven to live withe Thee there
Track 2: O Come, O Come Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to Thee, O Israel
O come Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light.
O come Thou Rod of Jesse free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give us vict’ry o’er the grave
O come Thou Wisdom from on high
And order all things far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
And cause us in Thy ways to grow
O come Desire of Nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease
And be Thyself our King of Peace
Track 3: What Child Is This
What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This! this is Christ the King!
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste! haste to bring Him laud!
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king, to own Him;
The King of Kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Track 4: How Great Our Joy
While by the sheep we watched at night
Glad tidings brought an angel bright
How great our joy! Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
There shall be born so he did say
In Bethlehem a child today
How great our joy! Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
There shall the child lie in a stall
This child who shall redeem us all
How great our joy! Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
This gift of God we’ll cherish well
That evermore our hearts shall fill
How great our joy! Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
Track 5: In The Bleak Midwinter
In the bleak midwinter frosty wind did moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow; fallen snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter many years ago
Heaven cannot hold Him, nor the earth sustain;
Heav’n and earth shall vanish when He comes to reign
God Himself became a man, born to pay sin’s price
He’s the great Redeemer, our Lord Jesus Christ
What can I give Him, needy as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb;
If I were a noble man, I would do my part;
What can I give Him? Give Him all my heart
If I were a noble man, I would do my part;
What can I give Him? give Him all my heart
Track 6: Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Infant holy, infant lowly
His bed a cattle stall
Oxen lowing, little knowing
He is Lord of all
The angel came to bring good news
God with man shall dwell;
The Savior of the world is come!
On this the first noel
Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
Watch till morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story
Of the gospel true
Thus rejoicing, praises voicing
Free from sorrow and fear
Feet are treading, tidings spreading
“God to man draws near!”
Track 7: O Come All Ye Faithful
O come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye, to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the king of angels
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
O sing choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
O sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God! All Glory in the highest!
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
Track 8: I Heard The Bells
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Till, ringing, singing, on it’s way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men
And in despair I bowed my head:
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men”
Track 9: Silent Night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Track 10: Good Christian Men Rejoice
Good christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!
Give ye heed to what we say:
News! News! Jesus Christ was born today!
Ox and ass before Him bow,
And He is in the manger now
Christ was born today!
Christ was born today!
Good christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has opened heaven’s door
And man was blessed forevermore
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
Good christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Peace! Peace! Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain His everlasting hall
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!
Track 11: Ding Dong Merrily on High
Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav’n the bells are ringing
Ding dong! Verily the sky
Is riv’n with angel singing!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E’en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swinging
And “io, io, io!”
By priest and people singing!
Pray you dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rhyme
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Track 12: From The Highest Throne
From the highest throne
Jesus came to earth
Born in Bethlehem
In a humble birth
In the manger hay
He was laid to sleep
Now we to can rest
For He is our peace
Jesus came a poor man
Left His riches and glory
To save His beloved ones
He came to bring us home
Angels sang the news
Shepherds came to see
The Savior of the world
Who He would be
So we bring the news
To each waiting soul
Bring your heart to Him
He will make it whole
