'Gloria (A Child Is Born Tonight)' by Maria Segerholm: A Christmas Carol Resounding Divine Gratitude


The vibrant notes of Maria Segerholm's timeless song 'Gloria (A Child Is Born Tonight)' hold something like celestial magic. Segerholm weaves a Christmas narrative that resonates with both modern simplicity and rich spiritual tradition, helping listeners navigate their heavenly journey. Originally crafted in Swedish (Ett Barn Är Fött Idag) and cherished over eight meaningful years.

Maria Segerholm - Gloria (A Child Is Born Tonight)The lyrical journey of the song begins with a humble 'Yes' from Mary, a courageous acceptance powered by faith in God's divine plan, progressing to the pivotal nativity scene within an unassuming stable, a testament to our Saviour, Jesus Christ's humble beginnings.

The chorus - 'Gloria, gloria, a star is shining bright. Gloria, gloria, a child is born tonight.' The sound of heavenly proclamations heralding the arrival of God's greatest gift to humanity—Jesus Christ, the Saviour who brings us life.

Segerholm's song, when combined with the innocence and purity of a children's choir, frames an exquisite Christmas masterpiece, painting heavenly hues of faith, hope, and divine love. Each listener is invited into a sacred space, a personal manger scene, and a tender proclamation of Jesus' birth.

As the holiday season approaches, feel compelled to relive the magic of Christmas with 'Gloria (A Child Is Born Tonight).' This lyrical story will tune your hearts to the true essence of the season, transporting you to a state of reflection, gratitude, and awe of the living God.
