What's Included:

All arrangements contained in the Light Has Come Christmas Set Starter come with your HymnCharts subscription. What's new are the underscores, readings, graphics and combined tracks. Combined tracks allow you to play one MP3 with a flow of several songs and underscores.

The total time of the music is a little over 10 minutes.

The Light Has Come Christmas Set Starter gives you an instant Christmas praise set for one of your December services!

Start with the new upbeat Christmas praise song Our God Is Born, already a hit at PraiseCharts.com - #10 on the Christmas 2012 list of most popular Christmas songs.

Transition into the upbeat version of O Come All Ye Faithful.

Then, after a Scripture underscore, your congregation will love what we guarantee will be the hit song of your Christmas season: Light Has Come (O Little Town.)

Worship leaders Kyle Worsham, Andrew James and Don Chapman have transformed the carol O Little Town of Bethlehem into a worship song with an added chorus. Light Has Come (O Little Town) blends old and new - your congregation will enjoy singing the familiar tune and the catchy chorus gives the carol a contemporary twist.

Use it first as a special duet - it's arranged for a male worship leader with a female backup vocalist but you can also use it with a worship leader and 3 part praise team, SAB choir or SATB choir.

Light Has Come (O Little Town) is easy to learn with simple harmony - the worship leader carries the song and the backup vocals support him with unison and easy parts.

A note from arranger/composer Don Chapman

During the holidays I'd usually be so busy getting ready for our special program or the big Christmas Eve service I'd run out of creative energy for my December praise sets.

The Light Has Come Christmas Set Starter contains everything you need (underscores, reading, charts and tracks) for about a 10 minute Christmas season praise set. This versatile service can be led with as little as a capable pianist and worship leader, or with a praise team, praise band and/or a full SATB or SAB choir (plus orchestral instruments with the instrumental edition.) If you don't have any musicians, lead the service with the stereo tracks, or even mix tracks with live performances.

If you don't have any musicians, conduct the entire service with my MP3 stereo tracks.

The secret to this service guide, and something you won't find ANYWHERE else, is my specially composed underscore that is to be played under the Scripture narration or prayer. I've created the underscore to match the mood and feeling of the Scripture narration - much like a movie score supports the acting. This will allow you to create the perfect worship flow for your service!
