And in Christ his precious Son
A                               Bm
We believe he died to save us
G6                             Asus  A
Came to call us as his own

A                                   D
We believe he sends his Spirit
A                                 D
On us now with gifts of power
A                               Bm
Hear the Spirit calling out to us
G6                                   Asus  A
Where he leads us we will go

Rising to take her place
Joining heavenly hosts
Singing praises to the Lamb

G       Bm                 C        D
Give and it shall be given  
G          Bm                      C             D

Oh you can’t out-give the Lord your God
C                   D               Bm              Em
One thing is certain in the Kingdom of heaven
       Am                              Am/G                  Dsus  D
The measure you give is the measure you’ll receive

                 G                        Em
And it’ll be pressed down, shaken together
        Am D  G
And overflowing  (x2)

Don’t rob God of your firstfruits
Give the most you can and then some more
He longs to open a window from heaven
And pour out a blessing so big you’ll be amazed

God’s building now his kingdom
And his kingdom’s rule will never end
If you will give him your life, your time, your money
You’ll store up a treasure no-one can steal away

                                           Bb
Who could have dared to dream it,
                                         F/A

Who would have dared to hope?
                             Bb
That the author of creation
                                      F/A
Should become as one of us
                         Bb
The God who is everywhere
                         F/A
Chose to be confined
                         Bb
To a moment in history
                      F/A
The birth of a child
             Bb
And an ocean of love poured out
     F/A
A fountain of grace sprang up
             Bb                               Gm7                   C   Bb/D  C/E
And the voice of God could be heard in a baby’s cry

                      F         Dm
Come to the Peace Child
  Bb                        C
Let him still your soul
                   F      Dm
He was the only one
                  Bb                           C
Who could bring hope to this world
F/A       Bb                   C/Bb
As the centuries have passed
              F/A                            Dm9
and our search for peace goes on
       Gm7           C             Bb    F/A Gm F
It’s still to be found in the heart of a child

And as we mark each New Year
We give thanks for the past
For we know our God is faithful
He is worthy of our trust
And through the world’s suffering
Through all the pain
He knows what it feels like
He knew it as a man
And an ocean of love is ours
A fountain of grace still flows
And the voice of God whispers into our hearts once more

Bridge:
        Bb              F/A
Unto us a child is born
       Bb              F/A
Unto us a son is giv’n
             Bb                        F/A
He’ll be called Wonderful Counsellor
            Bb               F/A
Mighty God, Eternal Father
 Eb     Bb  C     Eb   Bb   C  Bb/D  C/E
Prince of Peace

         E               C#m
The depth of a mystery

        E                    C#m
The turning point of history
        E            C#m                    A                 Bsus   B
The cross of Christ revealed the very heart of God
         E               C#m
The searing pain before him
         E             C#m
The crushing isolation
          E              C#m
Were vivid in his mind
         A                  E
The day before he bore it

            F#m           E/G#        A                   E/G#
As the hour of his suffering relentlessly drew near
         F#m          E/G#             A                    E
He carefully prepared one last supper for his friends
A               E/G#  A                E/G#
Pouring the wine, breaking the bread
A                E/G#          D    A/C#   Bsus  B   A/C#  B/D#
So we now share at the table of our Lord

             E  B/D#   A      E/G#
And we do this in remembrance
            A                   E
Of the night he was betrayed
       E  B/D#        A    E/G#
We do this in the knowledge
            A           B         E
Of the dreadful price he paid
               A        E/G#            F#m   B       E
We will take the cup with our hearts full of love
              A             E/G#       Bsus  B
For the Lamb who once was slain
E/G#       A           E/G#   A        B7      C#m
We will break the bread, longing for the day
                  A                B    A   E/G#   F#m   E
When our Christ will return again
