Advent is not so far away. And one of the most popular of Cheryl's songs, Come, Messiah, Come, is written for use during Advent. This song is a seasonal invocation. Based on Old and New Testament texts, it welcomes the Messiah and acknowledges the glory that Jesus relinquished to become Emmanuel for us.
Enjoy!
