1. How Many Kings by Downhere
‘Cause how many kings step down from their thrones
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
2. Just a Girl by Brandon Heath
Just a girl
Does she even know that she just changed the world
Does she even know that He will save the world
Does Mary know that He will save the world
She’s just a girl
Just a girl
3. Light of the World by Lauren Daigle
The drought breaks with the tears of a mother
A baby’s cry is the sound of love

He is Messiah, the Prince of Peace has come
He has come, Emmanuel
4. Hope for Everyone by Matt Maher
We are waiting on the promise
For the One who lights the darkness
Bending low to be among us
Bring Your glory in the highest, Jesus

On the manger floor
There’s hope for everyone
What are you waitin’ for
There’s hope for everyone
Come adore
There’s hope for everyone

Open your mind, believe it
Open up your heart, receive it
