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)

"Feelings" by Marlee Smith: When Anxiety Meets the King of Kings

"Feelings" by Marlee Smith is proof that age has nothing to do with wisdom. Marlee (now 17 years old) wrote this song when she was 12, and captures something that most of us struggle to put into words… the overwhelming weight of unspoken emotions. Rediscovered years later, Marlee brought this song to life with a beautiful piano arrangement. Marlee shared: "I changed a bit of the chorus to have more of a purpose, learning from what I struggled with in the past." The song opens honestly: "Fill my brain with the feelings, good and bad, don't know what it is." Does this sound familiar? Whether it's anxiety, the pressure of impossible standards, or the fear that your mistakes have permanently derailed God's plan — Marlee names them all. She doesn't dress up reality and allows it to be messy.  As you listen, the message shifts. What started as "I can't let it out" gradually turns into an invitation as it reaches a turning point: ...

"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 ...

"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...
