He is here
the Savior has been born
the one we've waited for
surrounded by our praises
He is here
the promise of our King
to you our lives we bring

glory to God
bring an offering to Him
and join with all the angels
singing hallelujah

Check 'em out.
Also a great song by MercyMe called "Gloria" ala Angels We Have Heard on High.
We played all of these last year -- I think they were very fresh and well received!
