BREAK FORTH

BREAK FORTH

All of Creation
Breaks forth this night
Stars burst forth their radiance
Moon illuminates the sky

For on this night
In the City of David
Is born
A Savior
Christ the Lord

Celestial Choirs sing in jubilation
All heaven and earth are moved
For Divine becomes Incarnate
And
All, All
Kneel and fall prostrate
In reverence
In awe

Redeemer, Savior
Healer and Counselor

Deliverer,
Who ushers us
Out of the darkness and secrets of our hearts
That is as chains that bind
And weights that hold
Frees us from shame
And splits open
The pathways of our hearts
So no longer
Are we afraid
No longer do we carry
The lies
That has
Paralyzed us

Instead

Mercy, grace and forgiveness
Truth, light and liberty
Are ours

For unto us this day
In the fortress of our hearts
Is born
A Savior
Christ the Lord

May we with immense jubilation
Rejoice
Be Glad
For
The Word
Has become
Flesh
