AGNUS DEI
Lamb of God, Born to Us
A Concert of Worship for Christmas
Created by David Hamilton with Dennis & Karla Worley
Featuring the songs of Michael W. Smith
Lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
Like that first angel chorus, Agnus Dei heralds the Good News of Jesus Christ. The skillful songwriting of Michael W. Smith comprises the core of this powerful Christmas work. Veteran arranger David Hamilton has reshaped these songs into powerful, moving arrangements that are appropriate for music ministries of all sizes. The husband and wife worship leading team of Dennis and Karla Worley have worked very closely with David Hamilton in the creation of Scripture-based narrations and throughout the entire production process. The strong message of this work, along with its classic music style draws the listener into the Christmas story, exploring the themes of man's sinfulness and God's triumph over it.
This "concert of worship" may be used in its entirety, with a narrator, in a concert format or as a resource collection for your Christmas pageant. No matter how it is used, Agnus Dei will help your congregation embrace the mystery of God's love for us in the sacrifice of His son.
