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 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.

"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 ...

'Miracle Child' by Brandon Lake: A Symphony of Redemption and New Life

In the comforting embrace of Brandon Lake's song, 'Miracle Child,' we are invited to explore the tender mercies of God, to perceive ourselves not as mere beings surviving the odds but as divine miracles in motion. This contemporary Christian music (CCM) masterpiece assures listeners of the stunning grace of God, reminding us that the same power that conquered the grave resides within us. Opening the hymn with words brimming with poignant candor— 'I shouldn't be alive...But I'm a miracle child' —Lake underscores the transformative power of God's love. His soulful rendition paints an animated narrative, celebrating life's delivery from the brink through divine intervention. Death, he boldly challenges, hasn't claimed its victory over his life because 'My savior's word is final / I am resurrected / Blood protected / I am a miracle child.' These words echo with the astounding reassurance of Christ's resurrection and our security in ...

"Beautiful Son" by John Perkins: The Gospel, Up Close and Personal

Jesus loved us before we deserved it. That’s the key message of “Beautiful Son” by John Perkins. Christ’s beauty rests in humility and love, not just physical brilliance. Taken from his four-song EP “Jesus I Do”, this song makes our celebration of Christ very personal. “Jesus, you love me in spite of myself // I give it all to you // I lay it in your hand.” This “Love”, despite what we do, changes everything. Have you ever felt that kind of love? The kind of love that meets you exactly where you are? But why, you may ask? Why can He love me while I feel weighed down by past mistakes? It’s because forgiveness became real on the cross. The stone rolled away, and death lost its sting. This doesn’t point to suffering, but to freedom. That freedom also means that our worth doesn’t depend on our performance. It depends on His finished work. His beauty isn’t just visual. His love changes water to wine, washes away sin, and His love still sets souls free today. His love changes everything, and...
