The Father of Eternity became a child of time The Counselor of Wonder became mystery sublime The Mighty God became a helpless thing The Prince of Peace became a peace offering This is the perfect paradox of which we sing You came down from your glorious throne You came to us to make the Father known Oh Counselor of Wonder To your wisdom we will yield As you tear the veil asunder your rich glory is revealed By your counsel we will se our wounds are healed You came to us to part the veil that hides God’s face Yopu came to us to give to us the gift of grace Oh Prince of Peace come down to us, be our Shalom tonight For peace flows from your grace we trust, make us reconciled and right Oh Prince of Peace you are our one delight Bridge: We could not reach to heaven’s height We did not know we are not right So love came down to be our cure Save from death and make us pure Now we can see true wisdom in the wondrous and the weak Oh mighty God of Grace You became the very Word You speak Oh...

God will set us free from darkness He shall set us free from fear There is freedom in His presence If we only will draw near. We can rise with wings like eagles Till the valley disappears We shall mount up to His mountain If we only will draw near As we venture ever closer We discover faith's frontier We must walk a long obedience As the Father draws us near In the blessings, in the burdens He shall sanctify our tears And our Joy shall be completed If we only will draw near Bridge So now draw near to the Father Set your mind on things above For he draws us from the wells of death And showers us with love As we lift Him up were lifted Brought unto His mercy seat As we raise our hearts up to Him We discover His heartbeat. So cleanse your hands, you sinners,   Let His fire your hard heart sear Purge your hearts, you double-minded.   Mourn and weep with holy tears Let your laughter turn to mourning   Cease your joy as gloom appears Humble yourselves before God- He'll exalt an...

Wonder fills us with astonishment. -This infant reveals the Ancient of Days He who sits upon the heavenly throne -Now lies in a manger while angels sing praise And he who cannot be touched,   Lies subjected to human hands. He who has broken the bonds of sinners Is now bound by an infant’s bands. Now ignominy becomes honor,   And infamy is clothed with glory, Humiliation measures his goodness-He’s decreed this mysterious story. For this he assumed my body,   That I may embrace His word; He quickens my mind and opens my ears so eternal truth can be   heard! Let all the earth rejoice-Let all the earth rejoice The baby born to us this day-Was spoken by God’s voice. He prepares for us   life’s   treasure- He bestows, and we receive He takes our flesh and we’re sanctified   He gives His Spirit, that we may believe. For this day the ancient slavery’s ended, the Devil confounded, now demons take flight, The power of death once for all is broken! To those in ...

When God gave me a soulmate He planned us as one flesh- Before all time it was ordained But it stays forever fresh. There’d be no home without you, Your touch is everywhere- And all you touch is better It’s the touch of one who cares. Where would I be without you? Is a thing I need not ask, For God keeps us by His Grace That’s sufficient for the task. You still make all things beautiful You make our days complete, So I’m forever grateful That we walk to God’s heartbeat. The greatest Christmas blessing The Father has bestowed Keeps giving as we keep walking Together on this road. To Earnestine Christmas Day, 2019 Anthony Foster
