Jesus Christ is the firstborn Son, who is the lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world.

“O Come, All You Unfaithful” by Sovereign Grace Music

O come all you unfaithful

Come weak an unstable

Come know you are not alone

O come barren and waiting ones

Weary of praying, come

See what you God has done

Christ is born, Christ is born,

Christ is born for you

O come bitter and broken

Come with fears unspoken

Come taste of His perfect love

O come guilty and hiding ones

There is no need to run

See what your God has done

He’s the Lamb who was given

Slain for our pardon

HIs promise is peace

For those who believe

So come, though you have nothing

Come He is the offering

Come see what your God has done
