At the Turning Point of Time

This is a new song from David and Dale MacGregor that is seriously good. It is a great choice for Advent this year if you want to plan ahead. There is an apposite air of mystery about the song that is most appealing.

The score is at his website. There is an instrumental in the middle of the song that acts as fanfare for the arrival of Emmanuel.

I had fun with this backing.

1. At the turning point of time
   At the turning point of time
   You came close, from heaven’s home
   You disturbed our wayward roam
   at the turning point of time
2. In our hearts, you longed a home
   We, your love, as child, your own
   In this world you made your home
   all our yearnings, sighs and groans
   In our hearts, you longed a home

Instrumental

bridge:
At the turning
At the turning
At the turning
At the turning

(repeat)

3. Christ, Emmanuel, draw near
   Saving grace come close, be here
   Spirit-presence, calm our fears
   Be the hopes of all the years
   Emmanuel, draw near

Christ, Emmanuel, draw near
Saving grace come close, be here
Spirit-presence, calm our fears
Be the hopes of all the years
Emmanuel, draw near
Emmanuel draw near.
