During this Advent season, we have chosen the song Come Adore the Humble King to guide us as a congregation in celebrating the birth of Jesus. In this video, Pastor Eric and Sara delve into the song's powerful lyrics, exploring the profound biblical truths they convey. Below, you'll find the song's lyrics and a link to listen.
Come adore the humble King
Lowly in the manger
Fall before His majesty
Hail the little Savior
Hope, what hope no tongue could tell
God has come with us to dwell
His name is Emmanuel
O praise the humble King
Come adore in humble state
He the song of angels
Join the wise who call His name
And with all creation
Who, oh, who would condescend
God unknown now calls us friend
Love that none could comprehend
O praise the humble King
Come adore the King who came
To our world to save us
Born to heal our prideful race
Crown us with forgiveness
Fall, oh, fall before the One
Who in mercy left His throne
Christ the Lord, God's only Son
His glories now we sing
O praise the humble King
Come adore, come adore
Come adore the King
Bow before, come adore
The Name above all names
Come adore, come adore
Come adore the King
Bow before, come adore
The Name above all names
Come adore, come adore
Come adore the King
Bow before, come adore
The Name above all names
Come adore, come adore
Come adore the King
Bow before, come adore
The Name above all names
Come adore, come adore
Come adore the King
Bow before, come adore
The Name above all names
Come adore, come adore
Come adore the King
Bow before, come adore
The Name above all names

Sing the Truth

Watch our latest episode of Sing the Truth as Sara and Eric discuss the hymn Battle Hymn of the Republic. These video discussions give great insight into the songs that we sing on Sunday mornings. We encourage you to take some time out of your day to enjoy this discussion.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since God is marching on
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on
Sing The Truth

Chorus
Love divine all loves excelling
Joy of heaven to earth come down
Fix in us thy humble dwelling
All thy faithful mercies crown
Jesus thou art all compassion
Pure unbounded love thou art
Visit us with thy salvation
Enter every trembling every trembling heart
Verse 1
Breath oh breathe thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast
Let us all in thee inherit
Let us find the promised rest
Take away the love of sinning Alpha and Omega be
End of faith as its beginning
Set our hearts at liberty at liberty
Verse 2
Come Almighty to deliver let us all thy life receive
Suddenly return and never nevermore
Thy temples leave
Thee would be always blessing
Serve thee as thy hosts above
Pray and praise thee without ceasing
Glory in Thy perfect in Thy perfect love
Verse 3
Finish then thy new creation
Pure and spotless let us be
Let us see thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in thee
Changed from glory into glory
Till in heaven we take our place
Till we cast our crowns before thee
Lost in wonder love in wonder love and praise

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing, "All is mine"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Saviour He will stay
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
With every breath I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
Sing The Truth
January 19, 2024 • Sara Ledford, Eric Laverentz
Sing The Truth is our new video series, where we discuss the lyrics to the songs we sing on Sunday mornings. This coming Sunday, we will sing the hymn A Mighty Fortress, and in this video, you will hear Pastor Eric Laverentz and Sara Ledford talk about the meaning behind the lyrics to A Mighty Fortress and how they relate to Eric's upcoming sermon.
We hope you enjoy this video and to see you on Sunday as we sing this hymn together!
A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God has willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
That Word above all earthly powers
no thanks to them abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever!
