Maranatha, Together We Pray

Erwin Cabucos sent me another hymn, this time a gathering song for Advent. It would be good to have more avenues for parish musicians writing hymns to get their songs known, and to collaborate with others. He has other hymns that are worth looking at as well.

The sheet music is available at sheetmusicdirect.

I made a BIAB backing to assist learning the song.

1 Time to begin a new life with Christ

And live out compassion and love

Make a room for Him in our hearts

Maranatha, together we pray.

2 We gather now in memory of Him

His victory in Calvary

He came as a child born of Mary

Maranatha, together we pray.

Chorus

Light up the candles of hope and peace

Brighten the lights of joy and love

We look to His birth in Bethlehem.

Emmanuel God with us

We wait for His return.

3 Mary said yes on the day

The Word made flesh and dwelt among us

May we share her humility

Maranatha, together we pray.

Chorus

4 He will return in power and glory

To invite us to eternity

Shine His light of love and mercy

Maranatha, together we pray.

Chorus
