(Tune: Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing - LSB 686 )

Happy Birthday greetings to you
May your days be full of peace.
May God’s love and care surround you;
May His blessings never cease.

 You’re His child and Jesus loves you
You’re alive so thank the Lord
We praise God you have a birthday
And we wish you many more!

​Without Hesitation

Without Hesitation
By Marlene Lamb, Kevin Bueltmann, Matt Preston, Kip Fox

Verse 1
You spoke light into existence 
Separated sky and sea
Set the stars and worlds in motion
And You gave it all to me

Chorus
What can I say?
How can I thank You?
All of my days
I want to praise You.
Without hesitation, You gave Yourself to me 
Without hesitation, I fall upon my knees

Verse 2
You made land and winding rivers
Singing birds in every tree
The whole canvas of creation 
And You gave it all to me

Verse 3
A dirty stall and borrowed linen 
In a place no babe should be 
You left all-surpassing glory 
And You gave it all for me

​He's My Shepherd
By Kevin & Tawn Bueltmann

             E                  E               A            E
1 The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want;
          A                 A        C#m       B

The quiet waters by.

Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

He’s my Shepherd. He’s my Leader.

He’s forever by my side.

5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

Broken...

Broken for our Brokenness
By Kevin Bueltmann & Nikki Peters

1. Wandering, aimlessly, drifting around
Life’s imperfections, bringing us down
Hope lay in pieces all over the ground
But You give us peace, In You we are found!

Chorus:
You were crushed - to crush all our sinfulness
You were wrecked - to heal us from wretchedness
You were humbled. You give us humbleness
You were broken for our brokenness.

2. Stricken, afflicted, You carry our grief 
Mocked and rejected, You give us relief
Abandoned, forsaken and pierced for our sin
Death lies defeated! The grave did not win!

Bridge:
You have conquered our sin
Changed all our hearts from within
For Your Word in all its holiness (pause)
Has spoken to our brokenness

Chorus 2: All our fear - You turn into fearlessness
  Your deep love - it brings out more love in us
  All our hopelessness turns to hopefulness
  You were broken for our brokenness

​We Can Hardly Wait for Christmas (Home for Christmas)

We Can Hardly Wait for Christmas
By Chase Reihmann & Kevin Bueltmann

Verse 1
We can hardly wait for Christmas
You promise to be with us
But as we struggle to cope
We know You’ve given us hope
 
We can hardly wait for Christmas
Celebrate the gift You give us
Oh, the time’s almost here.
And we know You are near.
 
Chorus:
Home - 
We long to be at home with You.
Home - 
We know that we’ll see You soon.

We are waiting for Your presence
Face-to-face with no more distance 
So in spite of our homesickness
Soon we’ll be home 
We’ll be home for Christmas
Yeah, we’ll be home for Christmas
 
Verse 2
And oh, that day is getting closer
Soon our waiting will be over.
We are rehearsing our parts
And preparing our hearts
 
Getting ready for Your Returning
Periwinkle candles burning
The church bells all ring
As the carolers sing…
 
Bridge:
It’s so sad that separation
Causes so much apprehension 
But Your Christmas incarnation
Made a way for our redemption.
     Through Your death & resurrection
     You forgive us our transgressions
     Fill our hearts with Your compassion
     We are Yours. We are Yours! And You are...Home..
 
Final Chorus: 
Home - 
We know that You’re at at home with us 
Home - 
Emmanuel You're here with us 

No more waiting for Your presence 
As You promised You're beside us 
And You take away homesickness
You’re always home
Always, home for Christmas
Always, home for Christmas

Fun song for kids about the Jesus, our Good Shepherd

"Broken & Poured Out" is most often song during or right before communion. The lyrics focus on the Scriptures that talk about the Lord's Supper. Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-24, Luke 22:14-20, 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; 11:23-29

Broken & Poured Out
By Kevin Bueltmann

Chords:  Am  F  G  Am-G-Am-G

While they were eating, Jesus took the bread,
Gave thanks and broke it, and then He said:
"This is my body given just for thee.
Do this in remembrance of me."

Chorus:   Broken – Poured out.
    Broken and Poured out all for me.
    Broken – Poured out.
    Broken and Poured out all for you.

Then he took the cup, gave thanks for it too.
Offered it to them, “Drink from it. All of you.”
This is my blood of the covenant,
Poured out for all to forgive your sin.  Chorus

Is this not the bread? Is this not the wine?
From a simple loaf and the fruit of the vine?
This is His body. This is His blood.
This is His forgiveness and this is His love.

Truly I will say, His presence is so real
When we come together and join in this meal.
When you eat this bread, When you drink this cup,
You proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.   Chorus
