Red Letter Society’s ‘How Beautiful - Orchestral Version': A Symphony of Faith and Rejoicing


Within every gentle swell and soaring crescendo of Red Letter Society's 'How Beautiful,' we encounter the familiar touch of divine grace, woven into a symphony that both soothes and energizes our faith-seeking hearts. This song envelops us with the meaning of Christ's birth while also delivering the raw power of contemporary Christian music, bursting with spiritual imagery that connects us to the heavenly majesty interwoven within our daily struggles.

Red Letter Society - How Beautiful - Orchestral VersionAs I listen to the lyrics 'The Lion and the Lamb held in a mother's hands,' I am reminded of Jesus' paradoxes and mysteries. Our Savior's strength and humility, power and restraint coexist in perfect balance throughout the song, echoing throughout the vast expanses of our hearts. A reminder of a fallen world bathed in divine light, the redeemed hope in lyrics like 'for the hope that was lost is being found, is being bought,' stirs a a renewed faith within us in His life-changing power.

The song, like our own journey with God, returns to its humble beginning - 'Rejoice'. It serves as a perfect affirmation of the cherished truth: God will never leave nor forsake us.

Listen. Embrace. Grow. Allow the song to enter your heart, strengthen your faith, and enlighten your spirit. Because this melody longs to rejoice within each of us.

(Related scripture: Luke 2:11; Isaiah 9:6; Revelation 5:5)

"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 ...

"What A Savior" by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship: Never Growing Numb to Grace

Have you ever grown numb to a miracle?  “What A Savior” by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship began as a chorus in a co-write, before it took on a life of its own. Will & Jacinta wanted something rich and almost hymn-like, a bold declaration of who Jesus is — not a tired restatement, but a fresh look. They never wanted to grow “used to” what Jesus accomplished, so they wrote about holding on to Him in every season, regardless of whether it’s calm or chaotic.  The opening lines start with the redemption through Jesus’ blood: “The precious fount, that cleansing flow, the Son of God poured out for all.” That’s the blood that Jesus spilled for you. The song moves from the cleansing through His blood to the result: “The debt I owed and all sin’s claims were buried with You in the grave.” Your debt. Buried. Gone.  Here’s where it gets even more personal. Romans 5:8 says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ...

"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 ...
