"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" Public domain O come, O come, Emmanuel Redeem thy captive Israel That into exile drear is gone Far from the face of God’s dear Son Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel O come, O come, thou Dayspring bright Pour on our souls thy healing light Dispel the long night’s lingering gloom And pierce the shadows of the tomb Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel O come, thou Lord of David’s Key The royal door fling wide and free Safeguard for us the heavenward road And bar the way to death’s abode Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

God With Us 04:21
"God With Us" Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI) Too long have I lived among those who don’t believe I am a girl betrothed, sacred and clean But now I’ve been told by the spirit that I will conceive Afraid as I was, I’ve been filled with peace So as you’ve said may it be Too long have I lived among those who hate peace I am a man of peace when I speak That’s why I had been planning to peacefully leave But an angel said in a dream Hold on and just believe So we journeyed far Where our roots are And there our Savior came Though infant small He would take the fall God with us to bear our shame Too long have lived among those without peace (Too long have lived among those without grace) Now the true peace has lived within me (Too long have I lived among those who cause harm) Now I hold the Son of Peace right here in my arms So we journeyed far Where our roots are And there our Savior came Though infant small He would take the fall God with us to bear our shame

"I Have Seen the King" Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI) I have never been to church Or read a bible in my life But I have seen the future In the glowing lights of the midnight sky So my friends and I set out to find the place Where the future begins We arrived in Jerusalem Sought the learned and the holy men All their preachers and their scholars Said the King would be born in Bethlehem But to our surprise and their demise, not one of them Came along To see the King Like God’s chosen people of old We were led by heavenly fire Now I have seen the future In the glowing light of a child’s eyes So we offered up our treasures and laid them down At the child’s feet For we had met the King I have seen the King I have traveled far Beheld him with my eyes I have met the King Son of God and son of man I fell down before the King I have seen the King I have met the I fell down before the King I have seen the King I have met the I fell down before the King

Go Tell It On the Mountain Public domain Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born When I was seeker I sought both night and day I asked the Lord to help me And He showed me the way Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born He made me a watchman Upon a city wall And if I am a Christian I am the least of all Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born

about

After receiving numerous requests from our friends and fans wanting to purchase our Christmas album, we to finally made one!

The requests crescendoed when we first performed “I Have Seen the King.” In late November 2012, we were asked to perform a song in a Christmas concert. The songs throughout the concert were to portray the various pieces and perspectives of the story of Jesus’ birth. For our contribution, we were asked to perform a song about the wise men. While “We Three Kings” is a lovely song, we wanted to perform a song that was a little more historically accurate than one referring to the magi as kings from the orient. Plus, Mr. Something just couldn’t get the picture out of his head of the scene from Arrested Development where Ann is pulling a stubborn camel while trying to sing “We Three Kings” during an inner beauty pageant. Needless to say, we needed a different song. Thus, we wrote a Magi song.

Knowing that a Christmas CD is what our fans wanted to hear, we chose a couple of our favorite Christmas songs, wrote a special Mary and Joseph song (quite fitting for us in that we are a Mr. and Mrs. after all) and headed to our top notch recording studio - our apartment bedroom closet.

We reached a new milestone with this record in that we achieved a band goal to perform every instrument on every song. While we usually record at least most of the instruments on our songs, this is the first time we performed our own drums.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Listening!

Love,
Mr. & Mrs. Something
