All the Poor and Powerless

Last Wednesday at church, we had our Nine Lessons and Carols service.  This special Advent service is always well-anticipated and does not disappoint.  Nine Scripture passages are interspersed between various songs, traditional and modern.  Some songs are sung by the choir, some by soloists, some by the congregation, or a combination of these.  My favorite song from the 2012 service was one that I heard for the first time.  It's called "All the Poor and Powerless," and I absolutely. love. it.  Here are the lyrics and a link to the song by All Sons and Daughters.

All the poor and powerless
And all the lost and lonely
All the thieves will come confess
And know that You are holy
And know that You are holy

And all will sing out
Hallelujah
And we will cry out
Hallelujah
All the hearts who are content
And all who feel unworthy 
And all who hurt with nothing left
Will know that You are holy

And all will sing out
Hallelujah
And we will cry out
Hallelujah

Shout it
Go on scream it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That He is God
We will sing out
Hallelujah
And we will cry out
Hallelujah
