Even the Stones

[Verse 1]
Here I stand with hands wide open
Waiting for Your wind to blow
Spirit come and stir within me
Let a song of freedom grow

[Chorus]
Holy Spirit, bring a new song
Set our hearts on fire again
From the ashes, beauty rising
Sing through us Your anthem then

[Verse 2]
From the cross flows new creation
Every story made brand new
Hope is singing through the nations
All the earth is filled with You

[Chorus]
Holy Spirit, bring a new song
Set our hearts on fire again
From the ashes, beauty rising
Sing through us Your anthem then

[Bridge]
Breath of Heaven, fill our lungs
Glory rising, songs begun

Echoing through endless days
King of ages, crowned in light
Darkness flees before Your might
All creation bows in awe
Joining in redemption's song

[Chorus]
Holy Spirit, bring a new song
Set our hearts on fire again
From the ashes, beauty rising
Sing through us Your anthem then

[Outro]
Holy Spirit, bring a new song
Keep it burning in our soul
When the music fades to silence
Let Your presence be our home

[Verse 1]
Before the dawn I felt Your whisper
When earth was void and stars were flame
You spoke my form from dust and wonder
And set me here to bear Your Name
I've seen the ages pass before me
Empires fall and oceans roar
Yet still Your glory shines above me
The song You sang, I now restore

[Chorus]
Even the stones will cry out
Even the mountains bow down
Every echo, every sound
Belongs to You, Jesus
Even the stones will arise
Shouting praise that never dies
All creation testifies
Holy are You, Jesus

[Verse 2]
Your footsteps pressed upon my shoulder
When You walked the road of pain
Your blood once stained my hidden surface
Now I resound to sing Your reign
I felt the quake the morning broke through
When angels rolled my kin away
Now resurrection power flows through
Every word the rocks proclaim

[Chorus]
Even the stones will cry out
Even the mountains bow down
Every echo, every sound
Belongs to You, Jesus
Even the stones will arise
Shouting praise that never dies
All creation testifies
Holy are You, Jesus

[Bridge]
You gave me voice when man was silent
You gave me sound when hearts grew cold
Now I resound with Heaven's triumph
Declaring Christ, the Lord of all

[Tag]
Who else is worthy? None but You
Who else is holy? None but You
From the dust to endless truth
We cry, "Only You, Jesus"

[Verse 1]
You bore the cross, You broke the grave
Now death has lost its sting
Salvation's song will never end
All heaven crowns You King

[Chorus]
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
Every tribe & tongue will sing
Glory to the King

[Verse 2]
Seated high above all powers
No rival can remain
Every crown is laid before You
The Lamb for sinners slain

[Chorus]
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
Every tribe & tongue will sing
Glory to the King

[Bridge]
Every name will fall away
Only Yours forever stays
Heaven shouts & earth proclaims
Glory, honor to Your name
Nations tremble, heavens move
Kingdom power breaking through
Endless ages still will sing
Jesus Christ, the reigning King

[Chorus]
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
Every tribe & tongue will sing
Glory to the King

[Tag]
Be enthroned upon our praise
Forever we will sing of
The Reigning King
The Reigning King

[Verse 1]
The weight of fear, the sting of shame
The endless toil, the striving game
We're tired, we're restless, running blind
Longing for peace we cannot find

[Chorus]
We come to You weary, we come to You worn
We come to You burdened, we lay down our yoke
You give us rest, rest for our souls
Your yoke is easy, Your burden light

[Verse 2]
We lay down striving, receive Your peace
Your yoke is kindness, our chains release
You lift the weight we could not bear
Rest for our souls, You freely share

[Chorus]
We come to You weary, we come to You worn
We come to You burdened, we lay down our yoke
You give us rest, rest for our souls
Your yoke is easy, Your burden light

[Bridge]
Gentle Shepherd, humble King
Rest for the weary, life You bring
You bear our burdens, calm our strife
You speak the words that give us life
Your yoke is mercy, Your way is peace
Your heart is kindness, our chains release
Gentle Shepherd, humble King
Rest for the weary, life You bring
Gentle Shepherd, humble King
Rest for the weary, life You bring

[Chorus]
We come to You weary, we come to You worn
We come to You burdened, we lay down our yoke
You give us rest, rest for our souls
Your yoke is easy, Your burden light

[Outro]
Your yoke is easy, Your burden light
Your yoke is easy, Your burden light

We believe in one God,
The Father almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
Of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
The only Son of God,
Begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God, Light from Light,
True God from true God,
Begotten, not made;
Of the same essence as the Father.
Through Him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation,
He came down from heaven;
He became incarnate
By the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
And was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered and was buried.
The third day He rose again,
According to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
To judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
The Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son
And with the Father and the Son
Is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism
For the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
And to life in the world to come.
Amen.

A pillar rising over all

Covered by the blood, I stay

Angels cry, "The Lord is worthy
All dominion His alone"

The tree Abraham planted still covers today
A gift for his children, a shelter, a way
The Everlasting keeps covenant true
The shade of that promise now rests upon You

Under tamarisk shade, Your promise remains
From my children to theirs, You'll be faithful the same

Under tamarisk shade, Your promise remains
From my children to theirs, You'll be faithful the same

A covenant shade in a dry, weary place
The promise was spoken, the faithful believed
And now in the Spirit the nations receive
The gate has been opened, the veil torn away
We walk to the Tree of Life freely today

[Chorus 2 – Eternal Anthem]
Everlasting God, forever the same
Under tamarisk shade, Your promise remains
From the dawn of the earth to the end of all days
Under tamarisk shade, Your promise remains
Now the nations rejoice in the life You provide
For the Tree of Life stands at gates open wide

[Verse 1]
When the battle closed around me
You became my hiding place
I was weary, worn, and wandering
You pulled me into rest

[Chorus]
I'm leaning into Your heart
I'm leaning into Your heart

I'm leaning into Your heart

[Verse 3]
One day I will see You fully
Face to face and heart to heart
I will dwell within Your presence
Every heartbeat one with Yours

I'm leaning into Your heart
I'm leaning into Your heart
Draw me closer, Jesus
I'm leaning into Your heart

Pull me closer, hold me nearer
Let me hear Your voice
Draw me deeper, take me further

[Outro]
Draw me closer still
Draw me closer still
I'm leaning into Your heart
I'm leaning into Your heart

[Verse 1]
When I behold the wondrous cross
Where Christ, my Lord of glory, bled
All earthly gain I count as loss
And lay down pride for Him instead

[Chorus]
At the cross the Prince of Glory died
Earthly pride & riches fade before His sacrifice
At the cross, sorrow & love unite
Mercy so amazing,
I surrender all my life to Jesus

[Verse 2]
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
In anything but Jesus' name
The fleeting treasures I loved most
I give to Him, for He was slain

[Chorus]
At the cross the Prince of Glory died
Earthly pride & riches fade before His sacrifice
At the cross, sorrow & love unite
Mercy so amazing,
I surrender all my life to Jesus

Flow mercy's tears and love's embrace
No greater sorrow, love, or dread
Than heaven's King in my place

Earthly pride & riches fade before His sacrifice
At the cross, sorrow & love unite
Mercy so amazing,
I surrender all my life to Jesus

It still could never be enough
For love so vast, my offering—
My soul, my life, my all, my love

Earthly pride & riches fade before His sacrifice
At the cross, sorrow & love unite
Mercy so amazing,
I surrender all my life to Jesus

I surrender all my life to Jesus

[Verse 1]
Beloved King, our hearts are torn
We wait for You, the Coming One
With oil and fire our lamps still burn
We watch the skies until You return

[Chorus]
Come, Lord Jesus, split the sky
Faithful & True with fire in Your eyes
Heaven's armies in glory arriving
Jesus the King returns, white horse riding
Even so, come — white horse riding

The sword goes forth, His Word is flame
The nations bow, confess His name
The scepter strikes, His reign begins
The Bride rejoices: the King has come in

Faithful & True with fire in Your eyes
Heaven's armies in glory arriving
Jesus the King returns, white horse riding

The Spirit & the Bride say, "Come"
Even so, come — split the sky
The Spirit & the Bride say, "Come"

In the desert You provide
Living water, bread of life
Every step Your mercy shows
To Your feast my spirit goes

[Chorus]
At Your table I belong
At Your table I am known

At the table stands the cross
Every fear is counted lost
By Your blood the war is done
Death defeated, life has come

I walked the valley, shadows deep
Silence heavy, sorrow steep
Every step, the path was torn
A pilgrim’s cry, a heart forlorn
The night was long, the stars grew cold
The stories fading, the hope grown old
But whispers rose upon the wind
“Hold fast, the morning will begin”
A trembling glow along the line
Where earth & heaven start to bind
The dark retreated, colors burned
And every exile’s face was turned
The sky was singing, gold & flame
The night was lifting, gone its claim
I felt Your mercy flooding in
The light of dawn, my closest kin
The gates of Zion opened wide
The streets were shining, sanctified
A river clear, a song of peace
A garden blooming without cease
The children danced, the elders praised
The nations gathered, unafraid
And at the center, crowned in grace
The Lamb of God, His radiant face
I heard Him call me by my name
No shame remained, no trace of pain
He clothed me white, He held my hand
And led me home to promised land
No shadow there, no curse, no night
The city glowed with holy light
Forever dawn, the night is through
The Lamb enthroned, all things made new

[Verse 1]
I lift my eyes to Heaven’s King
With trembling heart I come to sing
You reign above, forever true
All highest praise belongs to You

[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus, be magnified
Exalted, seated glorified
Every crown before You laid
Jesus Christ, our highest praise

[Verse 2]
Before the throne of grace I stand
Held by the mercy of Your hand
My life a song, my love displayed
To Christ the Lord, be highest praise

[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus, be magnified
Exalted, seated glorified
Every crown before You laid
Jesus Christ, our highest praise

[Bridge]
Holy, holy, You are worthy
Every tongue confesses glory
Heavens roar & seas rejoice
Stars & angels lift their voice
Hosanna to the risen Lamb
Magnified, the Great I Am

[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus, be magnified
Exalted, seated glorified
Every crown before You laid
Jesus Christ, our highest praise

[Tag]
Lifted high, Glorified, Magnified, Holy One, God Most High

We traveled in winter, the nights without end,
The silence was heavy, no comfort, no friend.
The camels grew restless, the roads gave no cheer,
Yet still the star burned, it kept drawing near.
We left what was certain, our thrones and our gold,
To follow a secret the prophets foretold.
The heavens were singing, though few understood,
A promise was breaking the night for the good.

At last we arrived, where the star came to rest,
A dwelling of shadows, yet heaven was dressed.
No palace of marble, no trumpet, no flame,
But a mother who whispered the Infant's name.
We opened our treasures, though all seemed too small,
Before the Eternal made flesh for us all.
Infinity breathing, Eternity near,
The birth of a kingdom, the end of our fear.

We returned by another way, warned in a dream,
But nothing remained as it once had seemed.
The idols lay hollow, our wisdom undone,
For crowns bowed low to the only Son.
The journey was longer, yet light was made clear,
The veil had been lifted, Emmanuel here.
We carried the secret, both burden and flame,
The Child our prize, Jesus Christ is His name!
Emmanuel
Emmanuel

[Narrative 1]
From eternity the promise waited
Prophets spoke of Light to come
Now in Bethlehem's humble stable
Heaven's gift is given, the Holy One
Glory hidden in the crying infant
Majesty laid in manger bare
God eternal wrapped in frailty
Love incarnate dwelling there

[Chorus 1 — Angel Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace, peace to His own

[Narrative 2]
Night was still upon the hillside
Shepherds watched their flocks by night
Suddenly the heavens opened
Multitudes of angels in light
Fear was struck within their spirit
Till the herald's voice proclaimed
“Do not fear, for unto you is given
Born this day, the Christ, the Lord”

[Chorus 2 — Angel Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth, goodwill to all

[Narrative 3]
From the East the wise men journeyed
Guided by a star so bright
Through the night they came to worship
Led by Heaven's holy light
At His feet they laid their treasures
Gold and incense for the King
Fragrant hint of grave and glory
Awaited for by all
The Light of the world has come

[Chorus 3 — Angel Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Glory to God in the highest
Christ shall reign forevermore

[Extended Outro]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Glory to God in the highest
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Glory to God in the highest
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

[Section 1]
Why would He see me, so lowly, so small?
The Mighty has spoken, the Highest has called.
A maiden of Nazareth, unknown, unseen,
Yet heaven has chosen me, mother for the King.
The angel declared it, my heart filled with fear,
Yet mercy revealed, God's promise was clear.
I lifted my trembling, astonished reply,
“Let it be unto me, Lord — Your will, not mine.”
My Abba

[Section 2]
I carried His heartbeat, I labored in pain,
I gazed on His face as I spoke out His name.
I watched tiny fingers curl tight around mine,
The hands that would one day bring sight to the blind.
I taught Him to walk, I watched my boy play,
Eternal now dwelling, living day by day.
The shepherds bowed low and the Magi would bring,
Their gifts to the Child — my Yeshua, my King.

[Section 3]
But Simeon told me, and sorrow took hold,
A piercing would come, as the prophets foretold.
The Child that I carried would shoulder the cost,
Salvation for all through His suffering and loss.
I sang Him to sleep though the future was near,
The cross in the distance, our redemption so clear.
And still I remember, though shadow may fall,
My soul magnifies Jesus — my Savior, my all.

[Verse 1]
The night lay in silence, the stars keeping time,
Our flocks bowed in shadow, their breath a soft rhyme.
The fire whispered low as we guarded the hill,
When heaven broke open, and all became still.
Light clothed the valley, the darkness withdrew,
A voice like pure mercy said, “Peace be to you.
For to the lowly, to the weary and worn,
A Savior, Messiah, this night has been born.”

[Verse 2]
The sky burned with glory, the air filled with song,
A host without number where weak became strong.
“Glory to God!” every echo replied,
As heaven's bright chorus poured over the sky.
We ran through the wonder our hearts could not keep,
Past stone and by stable where cattle did sleep.
And there in the manger, so fragile, so mild,
The Shepherd of shepherds lay, heaven's own Child.

[Verse 3]
We knelt in the dust where His presence had shone,
The Lamb long awaited, the world's cornerstone.
No crown was upon Him, no sword in His hand,
Yet kings would fall silent, unable to stand.
His cry was a whisper the ages would hear,
A song for the outcast, the lost drawing near.
We carried the wonder through valley and field,
Our eyes had beheld the Christ now revealed.

[Bridge — "May His Favor" Reimagined]
So may His favor be upon you,
and a thousand generations—
Your family and your children,
and their children and their children—
May His presence go before you,
and behind you, and beside you,
All around you, and within you,
He is with you, He is with you,
in the morning, in the evening,
in your coming and your going,
in your weeping and rejoicing,
He is with you, He is with you.

[Final Chorus]
May the Lord bless you and keep you,
may His face shine bright upon you;
Let His love be your defender,
His peace surround you tender,
May His kindness make you bolder—
we wish you more of Jesus,
our Savior come so near.
