The New World Has Come (from The Acoustic Gospels) by Graham Kendrick. Originally on Dreaming of a Holy Night.

[ Ссылка ]

In a return to the concert settings of his classic acoustic songs, Graham Kendrick recorded these songs on “The Acoustic Gospels Tour”.

With several decades of songwriting under his belt, and having penned some of the world’s best known worship songs, The Acoustic Gospels is Graham in a different mode, rekindling the performance style that first brought appreciation for his music.

This is the fulfilment of a dream – to get back on the road playing the acoustic music I started out with, to keep it simple and personal, and let the songs tell the story. We set out to record it live, raw and atmospheric, and I think it worked - I hope you agree!

Maker to manger
Oh what a journey
Dancer at starbirth
Now firstborn of Mary

Emptied and helpless
Feeling first hunger
Tiny Almighty hand
Curls round her finger
Ageless and changeless
Gasping a first breath
God comes un-noticed

And the new world has come
The old order ending
And the first shoot has sprung
In the earth of Eden’s new garden

Spirit who once turned
Chaos to cosmos
Hovers in silence
Over Nazareth rooftops
She hears the first heartbeat
The pulse of salvation
Love’s incarnation

Spinner of planets
Pourer of oceans
Caught in the storm
Of human emotion
This staggering God
Takes his first steps towards us
On feet that will grow strong enough
To carry a cross
