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.

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...
