New Song for Sunday: Do Not Fear

~ The child in the hay is the Ancient of Days drawing near, do not fear ~

Each Christmas, we rejoice that the Ancient of Days has drawn near to us in the incarnation. In God’s wonderful plan of redemption, Jesus drew near to us by being born to us. There is so much more to the Gospel story, but it all begins in that little town of Bethlehem when the Ancient of Days drew near to a lost and fallen world.

This Sunday, join us as we sing a Christmas song written by Sovereign Grace Music called “Do Not Fear”. As we sing together, we will celebrate this incredible reality: We can draw near to Him, because He has drawn near to us. 

Lyrics

VERSE 1

Humble virgin, arise and take heart
You’ve been chosen to carry a son
Give no heed to the trembling inside
For the wonder has only begun

CHORUS

Do not fear, do not fear
The child you will hold is the Savior foretold drawing near
Do not fear

VERSE 2

Lowly shepherds, look up and take heart
See the glory of heaven burn bright
Hear the anthem of joy and good news
Hope has dawned in a stable tonight

CHORUS 2

Do not fear, do not fear
The child in the hay is the Ancient of Days drawing near
Do not fear

VERSE 3

Weary children, be still and take heart
Every longing you feel is a cry
For the rest He has offered to all
Come to Him, for His burden is light

CHORUS 3

Do not fear, do not fear
The God who redeems you and ever will keep you is near
Do not fear
