Eddy Mann ~ Hope Love Joy Peace 


    















This album, inspired through the 2013 season of Advent, was written as I was adjusting to my mother’s recent residential change to heaven. It marked a season of transition, a moment of growth, and the realization of a deeper faith. It speaks to a spirit that began to understand a clearer vision of life, of death, and of eternity. It birthed a renewed period of hope, love, joy and peace that still pervades today.

LORD OF PEACE …inspired by Isaiah 9:6

Lord of Peace love away my sorrow 
Sooth this pain with a blest tomorrow 
See the manger 
Peace it came here 
  
Lord of Peace love away my blindness 
Melt this ice thaw this heart of kindness 
See the manger 
Peace it came here 
  
At all times, in all ways 
You make it possible to live in peace with you 
  
Lord of peace, Lord of peace 
Love away my sorrow with a blest tomorrow 
Lord of peace, Lord of peace 
Love away my blindness; thaw this heart of kindness 
  
  
WONDERFUL COUNSELOR …inspired by Isaiah 9:6

Wonderful Counselor, born to us 
Born to love, and want good for us 
You want good for us, Lord Jesus 
  
Wonderful Counselor, given to us 
Given to guide, and provide for us 
You provide for us, Lord Jesus 
  
Your presence surrounds me 
Your glory for all to see 
  
Wonderful Counselor, sent to us 
Sent to heal, and to comfort us 
You comfort us, Lord Jesus 


GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY …inspired by Luke 2:11 
© 2013 Eddy Mann 

  
He is king 
Ruling His people 
In His realm, he is in their hearts 
He is divine 
Bridging the chasm 
He's the sacrifice given in love 
  
Good news of great joy 
He is Christ, the anointed One 
Good news of great joy 
He is Christ; he is God's own Son 
  
He is prophet 
Bringing the Word 
He's alive in the midst of our lives 
He is Anointed One 
He is God's Son 
He was sent to fulfill God's Word 
  

IN THE SHADOW OF JERUSALEM …inspired by Luke 2:4 
© 2013 Eddy Mann
 
  
Shed a little light in this place 
Shed a little light on this face 
Pour a little love on this soul 
Turn a little tin heart to gold 
In the shadow of Jerusalem 
  
Cast me the ordinary 
Shape me to fill the par 
Use me to tell your story  
Mold me a loving heart 
  
Waiting for the moment to arise 
Joy, hope, and peace, in my eyes  
Love not withstanding, love divine 
Washing over all of mankind 


JESUS (THE LORD SAVES) …inspired by Luke 2:7 
© 2013 Eddy Mann 

  
The angel did appear 
He spoke the world to hear 
The name for which to give His Son 
He’ll save us from our sin 
The Savior born to 
He’ll separate us from ourselves 
  
Jesus, the Lord saves, the splendor of God 
Holy! Powerful! The Son of God 
  
Our saving grace was born 
Upon that blessed morn 
The answer to the world’s prayers 
So as we contemplate 
O we can celebrate 
The saving started at His birth 
  
The angel made it clear 
For all the world to hear 
The Savior born to us this night 


THE GOOD BEGINNING …inspired by 1 John 1:1-2 
© 2013 Eddy Mann 

  
You're the only one who can 
Begin something new in my life 
You're the one 
You're the life 
  
You're the only one who can 
Turn around the trouble I face 
You're the life 
You're the grace 
  
Real wisdom 
Real virtue 
You're the good beginning 
And the rescue of us now 
  
Lord, help us regain, everything 
That we were supposed to be 
Restore Your image, in us 
So that we can be love for all to see 
  

MY SOUL MAGNIFIES THE LORD …inspired by Luke 2:46-47 
© 2013 Eddy Mann
 
  
My soul magnifies. My soul magnifies 
My soul magnifies the Lord 
  
My spirit rejoices. My spirit rejoices 
My spirit rejoices in God 
  
You are my Savior. You are my Savior 
You are my Savior for all to see 
  
Lord, help me see clearer. Lord, help me see clearer 
Lord, help me see clearer who I should be 
  
Lord, help me get nearer. Lord, help me get nearer 
Lord, help me get nearer to Thee 
  

YOUR KINGDOM WILL NEVER END …inspired by Luke 1:32-33 
© 2013 Eddy Mann
 
  
You have a storied beginning 
A child with a humbled birth 
Born in a lowly stable 
Love come down to earth 
  
But the end, is an explosion of glory  
Divine enough for the whole world to see 
  
The end is a kingdom 
That has compassion for foe and friend 
Blessings and honor and glory forever 
Your kingdom will never end 
  

THIS EVE …inspired by Luke 2:6 
© 2013 Eddy Mann
 
  
There's quiet 
Then there's quiet 
Quietly night fell on this eve 
There's silent 
Then there's silent 
Silently love came on this eve 
  
Holy 
O so Holy 
Holiness engulfed this eve 
There's peaceful 
Then there's peaceful 
Peacefulness surrounded this eve 
  
Alleluia 
Alleluia 
Alleluia bless this eve 
  
Peace from heaven 
Bless this eve 
  

YOU ARE HERE …inspired by Matthew 1:22-23 
© 2013 Eddy Mann
 
  
You are here with us 
You are here with us 
Everywhere with us, Immanuel 
  
Right here before my eyes 
Every blessing prophesied 
Love came down a sacrifice for me 
Holy! Holy! God with us 
In the name of Jesus 
Heaven sent, miraculous, for all to see 
  
Help us this season 
To remember the reason 
And to live in your presence more 
Help us Lord Jesus 
To live what you teach us 
And to gratefully build and restore
