Movement 1 (During My Deliverer)

My deliverer is coming
My deliverer is standing by

An angel?of?the?Lord?appeared?to?Joseph in?a?dream?and?said,??Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.?

My deliverer is coming
My deliverer is standing by

All?this?took?place?to?fulfill?what?the?Lord?had?said?through?the?prophet. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

My deliverer is coming
My deliverer is standing by

When?Joseph?woke?up,?he?did?what?the?angel?of?the?Lord?had?commanded?him?and?took?Mary?home?as?his?wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

Movement 2?(During How Great Our Joy)

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.? An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.? But the angel said to them, ?Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.? Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.? ?

While by the sheep we watched at night?

Groove begins. Worship leader invites people to?echo.

There shall be born, so He did say?

There shall the Child lie in a stall?

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ?Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.? When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ?Let?s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened.?

Worship Leader: ?”And finally, sing these words together?”

This gift of God we?ll cherish well…
