LYRICS OF THE ADVENT: Reflections on Biblical Songs and Classic Carols
The events leading up to Easter as recorded for us in Scripture are some of the most familiar in the church; sometimes too familiar. Everyone is familiar with the epic events of the week that led up to the crucifixion because God has preserved them for us in Scripture. One of the challenges for a pastor during the Easter season is to preach sermons from these familiar passages of Scripture in a new and fresh way. This book is the result of a sermon series preached by Rev. Chris Bauer entitled "The Views of Easter.” These views consider the meaning of the cross from the standpoint of the key characters of the Biblical crucfixion account: Barabbas, the Roman Centurion, Joseph of Arimethea, and Jesus Christ. The final view is that of the believing Christian today.
This book invites you to take a look at Easter in a different way. A way that hopefully you’ve never seen before. A way that draws you even closer to the risen Lord Jesus Christ.

Lyrics of the Advent brings a fresh look at the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ through the words of the songs found in the second chapter of Luke’s gospel as well as the Biblical roots of the classic carols of the season. You’ll listen to Mary sing her song of praise and hear Zechariah praise God. You’ll find yourself in the stable alongside the shepherds and rejoice with the angels. And you will once again see the One who Isaiah called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. The songs all declare that He is the One sent from God, the Messiah, the Savior…the One they named Jesus.
