This a song from 2021 by David MacGregor based on John chapter 1. It could be used as an entrance and would be fine in Advent. It’s a lovely song that goes a bit high for me in the chorus.
The sheet music is free at David’s website.
- The Word as world is waking
The Word was One with God
All was made, created
The Word spoke, and Life was born
Light for all creation
Darkness cannot reign
Light comes to the broken
Light and love to reignYou are one with us
You have come to us
You have lived with us, O Lord
You have died for us
Christ, You rise for us
Emmanuel,
Living Word
- Light and Life is coming
The Word takes human form
Making home among us
In God we are reborn
We have seen his glory
Glory of God’s Son
Grace and truth forever
Praise You, Holy One!You are one with us
You have come to us
You have lived with us, O Lord
You have died for us
Lord you rise for us
Emmanuel,
Living WordYou are one with us
You have come to us
You have lived with us, O Lord
You have died for us
Lord you rise for us
Emmanuel,
Living WordCODA
