Unto Us from Hot Chocolate by Chris Nall

I look around at the world - all the people are searching
I look inside of myself and find that I’m searching too
So we cry-out-loud to God with our faces toward heaven
For an answer to the pain we’re going through…

To escape, we turn on the T.V. and we’re met with destruction
We log-on, we dial-up, we break-down if we could just find some peace…
Is there someone, something, anything we’re missing
That can come and give our aching souls release…

(CHORUS)
UNTO US – A SON IS GIVEN, UNTO US - A CHILD IS BORN
AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER
AND THE NAME THAT WE WILL CALL HIM IS “WONDERFUL COUNSELOR”
THE MIGHTY GOD”, “THE EVERLASTING FATHER”
“THE PRINCE…THE PRINCE OF PEACE”

(VERSE 2)
So we know the real meaning of Christmas and the child in the manger
And we’ve heard how those wise men who sought him found Him there
on the hay…
But there’s still that awkward question that comes back to OUR searching...
What does that ancient baby have to do with me today?

I need someone who can heal my broken family
I need someone to restore my hopes and my dreams
A leader that can put my world back together…
I hope there’s more to this old story than it seems…

(CHORUS AGAIN)

(BRIDGE)
We hear the small cry of a child in a manger…
The almighty God says the searching is over…
He’s here…He’s here…
Can we risk taking chances on stories so old…
Should we let the ice melt on our cold hardened souls…
He is HERE…He is HERE! ...DRAW NEAR…

(CHORUS AGAIN)
