Amanda Joy Powell - This Child of Bethlehem (Christmas)



Amanda Joy Powell - This Child of Bethlehem
Amanda Joy Powell has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'This Child of Bethlehem'.

When I was going through a collection of Christmas music, I came across a song released in December 2020 called “This Child of Bethlehem' by Amanda Joy Powell. I enjoy Amanda's beautiful voice, it is the kind of voice that I can listen to again and again—but more importantly, I want to share this song with you!

Amanda's Christmas message is one that I feel everyone needs to hear. She sings: 'He came so softly to this world, no one could fathom that He would choose this way. He chose a manger not a throne, humble beginnings for the one who came to save.'

She continues: 'The angels sing about Him, for He alone is worthy. The shepherds bow down before His glory. This baby is the promise, He’s the redeeming plan! He changes everything!'

I think we can all agree that these lyrics are so important at this time of year—and even more so during other times of the year as well! We hope you'll listen to Amanda's song below and enjoy it as much as we have!

Amanda Joy Powell is a worship leader, songwriter, and independent recording artist with a deep passion for connecting people with the love of Jesus Christ through music. Amanda grew up in the Red Lake area of Ontario, Canada, the daughter of missionary parents with a passion for music. 'I've always been surrounded by music,' she says fondly. 'When I was four years old, one of my very first memories was singing acapella with my family at our local radio station.' For several years, the Fretz Family, as they were known, were regular guests on the remote radio station. With her mother as a guitarist, Amanda continued to take piano lessons throughout junior high school, and by the age of sixteen, she was leading worship at her church.

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Worthy Beyond Measure" by whispering HOPE: Why Every Knee Will Bow

What would change if you started every day remembering who Jesus truly is? Before the first star was placed in the sky, before time had a name, Jesus was already seated in perfection —  “clothed in power, crowned in praise.” That’s where whispering HOPE takes us in their song “Worthy Beyond Measure.” This song is rooted in the breathtaking vision of Revelation 4 and 5, where all of heaven falls silent, then erupts in worship before the throne.  The song opens with eternity in view. Not history, not yesterday — eternity. “Every title finds its ending, every throne must bow its knee.” Every system of power, every president, every human achievement, every name that ever commanded a room — all of it will yield to one Name. That perspective reframes everything we face today, and that isn’t a call to start pointing fingers. When you point your finger at someone, there are still three fingers pointing back at you. This is where the song makes it personal. Heaven’s King didn’t stay distan...
