I lead the children’s choir at WRPC, and today they led us in a song of praise and expectancy on this first Sunday of Advent. It’s a Sovereign Grace song that I want to share with you.

The people who walked in the darkness
Have seen a great light come.
The people who dwelled in the shadows
Have seen a new day dawn.
For to us a son is given,
And to us a child is born.
And the kingdom of the heavens
Is on his shoulders.
Chorus:
And his name shall be Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Prince of Peace,
And his name shall be Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Prince of Peace,
Savior of the world.
The gloom of the slave and the prisoner
Has lifted like a cloud.
The ones who were crushed by their burdens
Rejoice and laugh out loud.
And his kingdom will keep on increasing
His peace will have no end.
He’ll bring mercy, truth and justice
By his own power
Chorus
