Epiphany is celebrated 12 days after Christmas and is the time when Christians remember the Wise Men (also sometimes called the Three Kings) who visited Jesus at His birth. It's a time in the liturgical year when we remember the magi's journey and Jesus being revealed as the Savior of the world. In fact, the word “Epiphany” comes from the Greek epiphaneia, meaning “manifestation” or "striking appearance.” Find chord charts and hymn sheets to celebrate the light and revelation of Christ's birth.

God was close to us, because God wanted to be close. Even after we got into trouble with sin and separated ourselves from His presence, he pursued us. He never let us out of His sight. God rescued humanity over and over again. God is still claiming his people today, and doing it by moving in with us, being close.

Creator God, Elohim, we can see that you care for everything you have made. The God who creates everything and needs nothing pursues you. Creation is filled with signs that point to the Creator. Use these songs to create a worship service filled with anthems of Creator God using choral arrangements, and orchestrations to support the service or musical arrangement.

As we read through the founding of the church and disciples' ministries on earth, we can see that times were hard. Facing persecution, ridicule, and even death, the disciples cling to the hope of Jesus and his return to help them overcome these difficult times. We can also have this hope through our difficulties. Jesus gives his Holy Spirit to those who believe and follow him. We can have strength to overcome trials knowing that God is with us. We also know that one day Jesus will return and those who follow him will be united with him. These songs and hymns show how we can persevere in difficulty by focusing on the hope we have in Jesus and that one day he will return.
