A Light to Guide You Home

Saturday, December 5, 2026
Cornerstone Community Church

Our Christmas concert is one night told in sound. A worship band and string quartet play live, and between the songs you overhear one family at home.

A dad leaves for the night shift and promises to be home by morning. While his family waits in the dark, the songs tell the story of the God who came into our dark and promised to come again.

  1. Rembrandt etching of cottages along a road under a large tree

    Part one

    Evening

    The promise and the goodbye. We cry out and ask how long.

    A Light
    Yahweh
    Show Us the King

  2. Rembrandt etching of an angel appearing in a burst of light over terrified shepherds

    Part two

    Into the Night

    The house sleeps, and the songs carry the story: prophecy, shepherds, joy.

    Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming
    Oh Gracious Light
    Christ the Lord Is Born
    Joy to the World
    Lift Up Your Eyes

  3. Rembrandt etching of the burial of Jesus, a few figures lit by one small lamp

    Part three

    The Dark

    Midnight and 3 a.m. The light gets small. A lamp, and someone who stays.

    Mary’s Lullaby

  4. Rembrandt etching of the risen Christ at table with two disciples, light breaking from behind Him

    Part four

    Toward Morning

    Honest despair, the cost of the cross, the first bird, a light left on.

    I Heard the Bells
    You Took Your Own Heart
    May You Find a Light
    A Light (Reprise)

“…as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”

2 Peter 1:19
