I love singing Christmas songs, this one tries to bring in Easter too.
lyrics
Verse 1:
To a people walking in darkness, hope is here;
To the poor and broken-hearted, hope is here.
A child of lowly birth,
The Word became flesh and lived on earth.
To a world looking for answers, hope is here.
Chorus:
Hope is here - Jesus, the Hope of the World.
Do not fear, rejoice for His Kingdom has come.
Welcome and praise the Servant King
Our debt has been paid, God's love wins
Our God is with us, hope is here
Verse 2:
To the fallen and rejected, hope is here;
To the lonely and neglected, hope is here.
Emmanuel is born -
The King who will reign forevermore
To a world looking for answers, hope is here.
Mid 8:
Hope is alive, God is with us,
Hope is alive, Jesus saves
So lift up your song in the night "Hope is alive."
Jesus is King, sin is conquered
Jesus is King, freedom reigns
so, joining the angels, we sing "Jesus is King"

I suppose I am slightly biased as it is my very talented and lovely Son Andy Green and wonderful friend Dave Woodman who have made this fabulous album together.
However, despite this I love the unique sound of the dulcimer and the beautiful music so divinely put together creating an album that I will play often to soothe and thrill me when I need it most. Thank you . Linda Bond
