What's in a Name?

In Spanish, "camino" is the word for walkway or road; "merced" is the word for mercy. The name Camino Merced suggests the "way of mercy" and reminds us of the prophet Micah's statement regarding what the Lord expects of his people -- "To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8)

Christmas Praise

Also known as Glory to God
©2003 Cheryl A. B. Boydston
CCLI Song #4577799
Scripture Reference: Luke 2:13-14
Theme: Christmas
Key: F to G
Mood/Tempo: joyful/lilting

This song is appropriate anytime during the Christmas season but works especially well for worship on Christmas Eve. We hear the angels' message, proclaiming the good news of Christ's birth, and then we join the angels and blend our praises to God.

The format of the song is Chorus, Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, repeat Chorus. The last time the chorus is sung, the key changes from F to G. There is a violin obbligato throughout the song.

During the year we use a modified version of the chorus only as a Scripture response; samples of this (Glory to God) are included in the resources below.

If reporting usage to CCLI, this song should be listed as Christmas Praise-- regardless of when you use it. :-)
