Century Worship - O Holy Night (Christmas)



Century Worship - O Holy Night
Century Worship has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'O Holy Night'.

The world's hope was born through the agony of childbirth. This was the inspiration for Century Worship's Christmas EP, 'Born to Save.' Dustin recalls sitting in the writing room with Daniel, Payton, and Denise, discussing a Christmas series that their church was planning for 2021. It hit them all like a lightning bolt... the stark reality that one of the first curses that entered the world was pain during childbirth, and that, in full circle form, the hope of the world would be born through the pain of Jesus' mother, Mary. The agony of childbirth was one of the first consequences of sin, and yet, years later, through that same agony, Century knew they had to write a song along those lines... to bring the true meaning of Christmas back to the forefront. Jesus was born to save us wretches.

Century Worship, a regional worship band, ushers in the holiday season with a beautiful marriage of old melody, fresh musical creativity, and stunning visuals for the classic Christmas hymn, O Holy Night, on the same EP.

O Holy Night is a traditional Christmas carol that has been sung and re-arranged by a variety of artists. The trick for Century Worship was to write the song in the modern worship style that their audience is accustomed to while remaining true to the song's melodic beauty. Strings, ambient guitars, and solid drum grooves update the classic while keeping it worshipful and true to its original form.

Century Worship recorded the song in the band's hometown of ABG Studios, with masterful producer Seth Henderson, and shot the music video with Real Video in historic downtown Crown Point, IN, where the band is based.

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
