Drew/Matt: Shepherds were out on a hillside Watching their flocks by night, When an angel of the Lord stood before them, And their hearts were all filled with fright.

Ellie/Nell: But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid of me, There’s a reason that God sent me down. Good tidings of joy I bring to you: A King is coming to town!"

Choir: Get up and go, find your Promise. Leave everything behind. Sorrow and mourning are over; it’s celebration time. Sin will not rule any longer. God’s love and grace now abounds. Things aren’t gonna be the way that they’ve been anymore. A King is coming to town.

Solo 3: If sin has taken you captive, Or sorrow has locked you in chains,

Solo 4: If you’re fearful of facing tomorrow, And all of the pain it may bring,

Solo 5: Let me tell you that I bring good news to you. A decree has been sent through the land.

Solo 6: It’s jubilee, all prisoners are free. The King has come with hope in His hand.

Choir: Get up and go, find your Promise. Leave everything behind. Sorrow and mourning are over; it’s celebration time. Sin will not rule any longer. God’s love and grace now abounds. Things aren’t gonna be the way that they’ve been anymore. A King is coming to town. Get up and go, find your Promise. Leave everything behind. Sorrow and mourning are over; it’s celebration time. Sin will not rule any longer. God’s love and grace now abounds. Things aren’t gonna be the way that they’ve been anymore. A King is coming to town. 7

Solo 1: If You had come on a big white horse, So mighty and so strong,

Solo 2: I might have been afraid to talk to You, Afraid that I’d say something wrong.

Solo 3: But when You came the way You did, To such a simple place,

Solo 4: You let us see an awesome God With a sweet and tender face.
