about

Combining Advent & Christmas themes into one song, our latest release asks for Christ to be born into the aches of our world and the longing of our hearts.

Although the Son of God has come into our world to save and dwell with us, the Christmas season, for many, is often painful, lonely and despairing as the realities of broken families, stinging disappointments, personal addictions, and profound grief confront us in a poignant way.

Our desire in writing this song is to connect the birth of Christ to these very real, dark areas of our everyday lives. It is a prayer for the hope of the Messiah to be "born" into the places where no light seems to exist.

lyrics

Chorus:
Where the light is gone
There to us be born (x2)

Verse 1:
Come O come light the shadows
Unto us like an arrow
Make a way, O Emmanuel
Through the night, through the night

Verse 2:
In the scars that we carry
From the wars of our families
Make a way, do not tarry
In the night, in the night

Chorus

Verse 3
In weight of addiction
In the shame of its mission
Make a way from the prison
In the night, in the night

Chorus

Interlude

Verse 4:
In the years of our sorrow
When the griefs leave us hollow
Make a way we lay fallow
In the night, in the night

Final Chorus:
Where the light is gone
There to us be born
Where the light is gone
There may Christ be born
