The hymn “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus,” was written originally by Charles Wesley.
But this time the timeless words of Wesley are combined with the singing talent of Meredith Andrews which makes the song for one of the year’s best new Christian Christmas songs. Enjoy the song!
Come, thou long expected Jesus
Born to set thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in thee
Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart
Joy of every heart
[Verse 2]
Born thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now thy gracious kingdom bring
By thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne
[Bridge]
You draw the hearts of shepherds
You draw the hearts of kings
Even as a baby, You were changing everything
You called me to Your Kingdom
Before Your lips could speak
And even as a baby, You were reaching out for me
And now we are awaiting
The day of Your return
When every eye will see You
As heaven comes to earth
Until the sky is opened
Until the trumpet sounds
The bride is getting ready
The church is singing out
[Outro]
Come, thou long expected Jesus
Born to set thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in thee
Come, thou long expected King

HOPE IS HERE//
Maker of it all
Less than two feet tall
Creator of all things
Made Himself nothing for all
Stars formed at His voice
Now too young for toys
King of the heavens
Fully dependant baby boy
I have a hope as He opens His little lungs
God Himself is here
Making a way where before there was none
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Hail the Holy One!
Humbled and helpless all for us
Hope is here
Let us adore Him
For this is our God
Hail the newborn Son!
Born for salvation on a cross
Hope is here
Let us adore Him
For this is our God
Veiled and once unseen
God is now revealed
Growing and reading
Learning obedience for us
Walking out His love
Even to a cross
Piercing the darkness
Winning the life that we lost2
Fallen creation has found it’s redemption
In Christ the newborn King
Angels rejoice at the birth of our hope!
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel

"Somewhere In Your Silent Night" is from Casting Crowns's new album - "It's Finally Christmas".
The message of this song is beautiful:
..."He knows your hurt
He knows your name
And you're the very reason that He came...
Love will find you..."
"Somewhere In Your Silent Night"
All is calm and all is bright
Everywhere but in your heart tonight
They're singing carols of joy and peace
But you feel too far gone and too far out of reach
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
From heaven's height to manger low
There is no distance the Prince of Peace won't go
From manger low to Calvary's hill
When your pain runs deep
His love runs deeper still
He has always loved you, child
And He always will
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
Lift your head
Lift your heart
Emmanuel will meet you where you are
He knows your hurt
He knows your name
And you're the very reason that He came
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
Love will find you
Love will find you
Love will find you
