Daniel Bowerly, Saxophonist

Breath Of Heaven , Composed by Chris Eaton and Amy Grant

I have traveled many moonless nights, cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done, Holy Father,  

You have come and chosen me now to carry Your Son.
 

I am waiting in a silent prayer, I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone, must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now, be with me now.
 

Breath of Heaven, hold me together, be forever near me, Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness, pour over me Your holiness for You are holy
Breath of Heaven.
 

Do you wonder as you watch my face, if a wiser one should have had my place?
But I offer all I am, for the mercy of Your plan, help me be strong, help me be, help me.

Breath of Heaven, hold me together, be forever near me, Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness, pour over me Your holiness for You are holy.
 

Breath of Heaven, hold me together, be forever near me, Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness, pour over me Your holiness for You are holy
Breath of Heaven, Breath of Heaven, Breath of Heaven.

What Child Is This?

What Child is this who laid to rest in Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud the babe, the son of Mary.
 

Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding?
The end of fear for all who hear the silent Word is speaking
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary.
 

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, come peasant king to love him
The King of Kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him praise, the babe, the son of Mary.

Raise, raise the song on high, the Virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary.

Mary, did you know?  Composed by Buddy Greene, Mark Lowry

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?

Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?

This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know that your baby boy would give sight to a blind man?

Mary did you know that your baby boy would calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God.
 

The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the Lamb.
 

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great I AM.

Angels We Have Heard On High
 

Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing over the plains
And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in Excelsis Deo - Gloria in Excelsis Deo.
 

Shepherds why this jubilee?  Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria In Excelsis Deo - Gloria In Excelsis Deo.
 

Come to Bethlehem and see him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Gloria In Excelsis Deo - Gloria In Excelsis Deo.

See within in a manger laid Jesus Lord of heaven and earth
Mary, Joseph lend your aid With us sing our Savior's birth

Gloria In Excelsis Deo - Gloria In Excelsis Deo.

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
 

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the Earth, good will to men from heaven's all gracious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.
 

Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats over all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wind
And ever over its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.

All ye beneath life’s crushing load whose forms are bending low

Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow

Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing

O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing, nd hear the angels sing.

One Small Child,  Composed by David Meece

One small child in a land of a thousand, One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight, One small Savior of life.
 

One king bringing his gold and riches, One King ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight, One King bringing us life.
 

See Him lying, a cradle beneath Him, See Him smiling in the stall
See His mother praising His Father, See His tiny eyelids fall.
 

See the shepherds kneeling before Him, See the kings on bended knee
Oh, see the mother praising the Father, See the blessed infant sleep.
 

One small child in a land of a thousand, One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight, One small Savior of life.

Angels From The Realms Of Glory

Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o’er all the earth;
    Ye who sang creation’s story now proclaim Messiah’s birth.

Come and worship, come and worship,  Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Shepherds,  in the field abiding, watching o’er your flocks by night,
    God with us is now residing; yonder shines the infant light.

Come and worship, come and worship,  Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Sages,  leave your contemplations, brighter visions beam afar;
    Seek the great Desire of nations; ye have seen His natal star.

Come and worship, come and worship,  Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Saints,  before the altar bending, watching long in hope and fear;
    Suddenly the Lord, descending, in His temple shall appear.

Come and worship, come and worship,  Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Sinners,  wrung with true repentance, doomed for guilt to endless pains,
    Justice now revokes the sentence, mercy calls you; break your chains.

Come and worship, come and worship,  Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Though  an Infant now we view Him, He shall fill His Father’s throne,
    Gather all the nations to Him; every knee shall then bow down.

Come and worship, come and worship,  Worship Christ, the newborn King.

All  creation, join in praising God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
    Evermore your voices raising to the eternal Three in One.

Come and worship, come and worship,  Worship Christ, the newborn King.

O Holy Night

O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining, it is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'til He appears and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night, O Holy night, O night divine!
 

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming with glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, here come the Wise Men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, in all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger 

Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
 

Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His Gospel is Peace

Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, and in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us Praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever! 

His power and glory evermore proclaim! His power and glory evermore proclaim!

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright

‘Round yon virgin, mother and Child, Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.
 

Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born.
 

Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
