Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” —Psalm 51:10
What started out as a film-making adventure in Africa, transformed into much more, when the travels of three young Americans took a divine turn, and they found themselves stranded in Northern Uganda.
Check out Paul’s live video recording of “Offering” (Christmas Version) featuring a full orchestra! As a new Christmas version of this powerful song, Paul took the chorus of "Offering" and added a new verse about the birth of Christ. The new verse reads:
Once in royal David’s city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
Chorus:
Emmanuel
The promise kept
Its longing of my heart for God in flesh
Through this child, all earth is blessed
Emmanuel
He came down to earth from heaven,
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor, the scorned, the lowly,
lived on earth our Savior holy.
Bridge:
Our answered prayer
Our faith’s reward
Redemption’s near
Redemption’s here
Alt Chorus:
Emmanuel
We will rejoice
We will worship you, our Savior and our Lord
We will join creation’s voice
Emmanuel
