Did you not know?
After all the praise on high
after all the promise heard
of this one
------ the Messiah?
Did you not know
the presence of God in this
your son?
Do we not know
who have heard the end of the
story
who have seen the salvation
of God?
Do we not know
and do we relegate this the
Christ
to the role of a child in our
lives
to be brought forth only
when it is to our liking?
How could Mary not know after
all she had heard?
How could we
and not head the call?
Come let us walk in the way
of the Lord
and hear anew
all the promise given
and the Praise on High
in the new year of our lives

Praise to the Lord on High
Who is born
Among us
A child helpless and wrapped
In the loving embrace of newness
Glory to God in the Highest
With the Praise going to all the earth
That we may rejoice
Not in greatness
---far off there
but here
---among us
The Lord God who created all
Come as one for us all
The Birth of the Christ child has come
The Birth of the Messiah
Who will lead the people
You and I
On to love
----(Victory over death)
on to life
as the one laying here
so innocent
feel the shadow of the cross
in the night
and the angels know
and sing of this one
so innocent
who will save us all

Blessed be Mary the Mother of God
and blessed be the fruit of
thy womb
Jesus
God has done great things
and will do great things
for this one
for us
The world will be changed
from what was
to
what will be
And Justice will roll down
like an ever-flowing stream
in a land parched by
divisions
and hatred
us and them
war
My spirit rejoices in my
Savior
who has come
that all might live
that I might be changed
from what was to what is
That I might have the
strength
to fill the hungry with good
things
through the one who is to
come
Hail Mary, full of grace
You have brought into the
world
the one who will never again
leave it
the way it was

Pastor: Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
Congregation: You liberated your people from
slavery in the land of the Pharaohs. You
gave them a great land and a great calling, just as you have given us a great
land and a great calling. You blessed
them with abundance as you have blessed us with abundance.
Pastor: Why then O Lord have you broken down the walls so that all who pass by may pick its grapes? Why O Lord do you let the wild things and insects ravage and feed upon the abundance you have blessed us with?
Congregation: Return to us, God
Almighty! Look to us from your heavenly realm and watch over this blessing
you have planted, the children of God you have called your own, and help us in
turn return to You as the cornerstone of our lives.

The Good News comes
and brings freedom
hope
but to me?
Who have I been fooling
in a world filled with the screams of hunger
in a world filled with the screams of pain
in a world
I have helped to make
----the way it is
I feel uncomfortable with your message
John!
I feel uncomfortable with the way it points
to me
I wanted only a feel good God
the Messiah who loves little children
and maybe that is why
I feel uncomfortable in this world
I helped to make
because the Messiah does
love little children
who choke on my greed!
Give me the strength to share
my two coats
----and food
and hear the Good News
of You Lord
