Peace with God cost Him because only He could pay the price necessary to reconcile
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Romans 5:9-11 ESV
Jesus came to bring peace—to reconcile us to God. That’s why He came, and that’s why we celebrate His coming.

Born That We Might Be Born Again | Words & Music: Ryan Cornett
Not to kings nor to princes did heralds appear Proclaiming God has come to dwell with us here But that host, to the lowly declared Heaven’s grace “Good news and greatest joy to all Adam’s race!”
Refrain Born is a King, Son of God, and Son of Man “Glory!” we sing, come to Earth is Heaven’s Lamb God Himself has provided the off’ring for sin His child is born that we might be born again
How the dark must have fled from the angelic light O, but their tidings far exceeded the sight! Never heard was a message so glori’ous and true: “Christ, Lord and Savior, has this day come to you”
Lo, the shepherds departed with haste ever swift Seeking the greater wonder of Heaven’s gift So may we run to Jesus, then tell of His birth: “God in the highest brought to us peace on earth!”

Welcomed to the Table | Words & Music: Ryan Cornett
Welcomed to the table of the King 1 Though no worth unto this meal we bring 2 Come! Rememb’ring Him, we dine and sing 3
Like no bread the fathers ate and died 4 This His body, broken for His Bride 5 Eat! Proclaiming Christ the crucified 6
This the cleansing blood of our High Priest 7 From His cup the low, the last, the least 8 Drink! Awaiting Heaven’s wedding feast 9

Our church really only sings one hymn about the Lord’s Supper, so I studied scripture and wrote this. I wanted to be brief (your church can sing this in about one minute) and really make clear what God’s people are invited and expected to do.
Believers are invited to come, eat, and drink. In partaking of the Lord’s Supper, we do so in remembrance of Him, we proclaim His death until He comes, and we await His coming and the marriage supper of the Lamb!
