The River Is Here
 
(Solo) Down the mountains, the river flows, And it brings refreshing where ever it goes
Through the valleys and over the fields, The river is rushing and the river is here. 

Chorus
The river of God sets our feet a dancing
The river of God fills our hearts with cheer
The river of God fills our mouths with laughter
And we rejoice for the river is here.

 (Solo) The river of God is teaming with life and all who touch it can be revived.
And those who linger on this river shore Will come back thirsting for more of the Lord.

 Chorus

 Up to the mountains we love to go, To find the presence of the Lord
Along the banks of the river we run, We dance with laughter giving
praise to the Son.

 Chorus
 musical interlude
 Verse 1
 Chorus 2X

And we rejoice for the river is here!

Point of Light

(Girls) There is a point when you cannot walk away,
When you have to stand up straight and tall
and mean the words you say.
(Guys) There is a point you must decide
just to do it 'cause it's right.
(All) That's when you become a point of light

There is a darkness that everyone must face.
it wants to take what's good and fair
and lay it all to waste.
And that darkness covers everything in sight,
until it meets a single point of light.

All it takes is a point of light,
a ray of hope in the darkest night.
If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right,
you will be a point of light.

(Girls) There are heroes whose names we never hear,
a dedicated army of quiet volunteers.
(Guys) Reaching out to feed the hungry,
Reaching out to save the land,
(All) Reaching out to help their fellow man.

(Clap) There are dreamers who are making dreams come true
taking time to teach the children there's nothing they can't do.
Giving shelter to the homeless, giving hope to those without.
Isn't that what this lands all about?

One by one, from the mountains to the sea,
Points of light are calling out to you and me.

All it takes is a point of light,
a ray of hope in the darkest night.
If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right,
you will be a point of light.
If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right,
you will be a point of light.
Light!
You will be a point of light!

Spread the Word

Everybody far and near, got some news for you to hear.
Christ is born in Bethlehem, peace, goodwill coming down to men.

Chorus
You’ve got to spread the word, you’ve got to spread the word.
Brothers, sisters, once you’ve heard, you’ve got to spread the word.

Shepherds, they were fast asleep, keeping watch beside their sheep.
They were shaken from their beds by angels singing overhead.

Chorus
(Guys) Shepherds saw the baby boy, you know it filled their hearts with joy.
(Girls) Could not keep it to themselves, had to tell everybody else.

Chorus
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.

Chorus 2X 
Brothers, sisters, once you’ve heard, you’ve got to spread the word. Oh, yeah!
 

Awesome God

(Guys) When He rolls up his sleeves He ain’t just puttin’ on the ritz.
(Girls) Our God is an awesome God.

(Guys) There is thunder in His footsteps and lightening in His fists.
(Girls) Our God is an awesome God.
(All)
And the Lord wasn’t jokin’ when He kicked ’em out of Eden,
it wasn’t for no reason that He shed His blood.
His return is very close and so you better be believin’ that
our God is an awesome God.

Chorus 2 X
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven above;
with wisdom power and love our God is an awesome God.


(Guys) And when the sky was starless in the void of the night,
(Girls) Our God is an awesome God.

(Girls) He spoke into the darkness and created the light.
(Guys) Our God is an awesome God
(All)
The judgment and wrath He poured out on Sodom; the mercy and grace He
gave us at the cross;
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that our God is an awesome God.

Chorus 6 x
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven above;
with wisdom pow’r and love our God is an awesome God.
