'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. 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 c

'Prepare Him Room' by Colonial Heights Worship: Rekindling the Spirit of the Manger's Joy

A melody emerges from the richness of the Christmas season, gently whispering ancient truths anew. 'Prepare Him Room,' a song by Colonial Heights Worship encapsulates the warmth of Christ's love, which was born in a humble manger and has echoed across millennia. The song, which warmly cradles the spirit of holiday favorites like 'Joy to the World,' is a poignant invitation for every heart and soul to accommodate Christ, to make room for Him. The song breathes a blessed hope into all aspects of the Christmas story, from the beautiful night in Bethlehem when heaven graced earth to the heavenly chorus that adorned the skies. Every note and lyric illuminates the central truth of Christmas: the birth of our Savior, the Infinite incarnate, walking alongside us in humility and grace. The song calls us to look at the King of Kings in the cradle, a powerful symbol of eternal hope born on a joyful Christmas day. Above all, it inspires us to open our hearts and let them ring w

'All Year - Remix' by Billy Ballenger: Discovering a Love Beyond Seasons

As Christmas approaches, many artists are releasing music that captures the season's joy and hope. Billy Ballenger's 'All Year - Remix' is one such melody that rises above the festive clamor. This song, drenched in holiday spirit and brimming with heartfelt devotion, invites listeners on a spiritual journey beyond holiday cheer, unlocking a heartfelt truth. 'All Year' is an anthem of enduring faith. It's a melodic tapestry intricately woven with caroling bells and divine harmonies, resonating with the healing message of peace we're all looking for. The lyrics awaken a realization: when kindness reaches out to a stranger, it's echoing the love that began in a manger. Ballenger's soulful exploration into the spirit of the season gently spills the truth into our hearts: Christmas is a testament to the hope we find in Jesus, alive not only in the falling snow or the laughter of celebration, but in every breath we take. Beyond the gifts, carols, and t

Nathan and Sharon - All Hail Immanuel (Christmas)

Nathan and Sharon have a new Christmas song for you. All Hail Immanuel is a joyful and celebratory Christmas song that announces the birth of Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah. The song tells the story of Jesus' birth in a stable in Bethlehem, and how this event was announced by the angels as a message of great joy and hope for the world. It repeats the phrase 'Hail Immanuel,' which means 'Hail God with us,' and celebrates the fact that God has become man and is present with us. The song also includes two bridges that reflect on the significance of Jesus' birth and the role He will play in the world. The first bridge invites all people to hear, see, and know about the birth of Jesus and the deliverance He brings. The second bridge introduces the concept of the Trinity, referring to Jesus as the Son, The Father as 'Everlasting Father,' and The Holy Spirit as 'Wonderful Counsellor' and 'Spirit of our God.' Overall, All Hail Immanuel is a powe

Alan Cox - Memories of Christmas (Christmas)

Alan Cox is back with a new song! This time, he's bringing us Memories of Christmas. The song is an original Christmas single intended to evoke nostalgia and take listeners back to happier times spent with family when they were younger. Alan wrote this song in memory of his grandmother, who passed away several years ago. While the title refers to Christmas, the song does not have to be limited to this time of year. Alan is overjoyed to finally share this song with the world, and the response has been overwhelming! My favorite part of the lyrics is probably two lines in the chorus, because it also brings back precious memories of loved ones that have gone ahead of me: 'But of all the things I loved the most your smile laugh and way you spoke / And of all the things under the tree you were always good to me.' Check out his song / video to get a better sense of what Memories of Christmas means to Alan. You can listen to the track directly on Spotify: https://open.spotify.co

Mama Tee (ft. Raphael Emeka) - שלום אלוהים עליך/Shalom Elohim Alaich (Peace Unto You) (Remix by Mama Tee) (Christmas)

Mama Tee (ft. Raphael Emeka) has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'שלום אלוהים עליך/Shalom Elohim Alaich (Peace Unto You) (Remix by Mama Tee)'. Mama Tee, a gospel singer and songwriter, performs together with Raphael Emeka a beautiful English and Hebrew version of her first Christmas song, Peace Unto You, a song which reminds us of the purpose of Christmas as stated in John 3:16-17. The song was remixed in Hebrew because the old testament was originally written in Hebrew. This project was a collaboration between recording artist Raphael Emeka and an Israeli team he had previously worked with on some of his previous releases. The old testament made numerous references to Christ's coming, and Mama Tee couldn't pass up the chance to have her song sung in one of the Bible's primary languages! Tolu wrote the original song, which was composed and produced by Emmanuel Awipi and sung by Rume (Raphael Emeka). Raphael Emeka and his wife Ikiomongha Opere tea

Northeast Worship's 'Lights' is a fun, playful Christmas song that prominently features a kids choir, vintage instrumentation, and I'm even seeing a special role for some Muppet look-a-likes in the video!

The song is an upbeat number with a catchy melody, but it also has an important message. It's about celebrating Jesus' birth and the joy of being able to celebrate him every day.

Matt Pelt's new song, 'Prince of Heaven,' is an original, moving, and heartfelt tribute to the life of Jesus Christ. From Mary's perspective, Pelt's lyrics take us on a journey from the birth of Jesus to his ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Along the way, we are reminded of the many ways in which Jesus brought hope and salvation to those who were lost and in need. But while the subject matter of the song may be heavy, Pelt's catchy melody and uplifting chorus keep the mood hopeful and triumphant.

Century Worship - O Holy Night (Christmas)

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 bea

Ruth A Harris - Rescuer (Christmas)

Ruth A Harris has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'Rescuer'. This is Ruth A Harris' first-ever Christmas release. It was written on the approach to Christmas in 2021, when Ruth was mourning the loss of 3 friends. The song is an emotionally real but hopeful reminder that Christmas is a time of remembering the birth of Jesus, which wasn't all happy families and turkey dinners—it involved possible scandal, Jesus and his family becoming refugees. The song reminds us that we have hope for the future because this isn't the end of the story, and God is with us in the mess of life. Ruth hopes that this Christmas song will bring comfort to people who don't feel like celebrating this Christmas. Ruth lives in Birmingham, United Kingdom, with her husband and two teenagers. She enjoys singing in a local community choir, playing in a clarinet quartet, and being a part of her local church's worship and AV team, in addition to exploring her ability to wr

Cormac - Mary, Did You Know? (Christmas)

In 'Mary, Did You Know?,' Cormac adds a little bit of 'Ave Maria' to the end of the well-known contemporary Christian pop/Christmas song. He shares: 'Hope to bring this song to an audience who can enjoy my treble voice whilst it lasts (not much longer :))' Cormac is a multi-talented, up & coming, British boy singer with a stunning soprano voice that's haunting and crystal clear. The youngest singer ever to be signed to a global label, Decca Records (lockdown 2020), his debut album ‘Hear My Voice' charted at #11 (UK Classical Chart) & #3 (Australia's Classical Crossover chart). Also awarded the coveted Classic FM 'Album of the Week,' it was a fun time! Since then, Cormac has been back in the studio—but as an independent artist this

Fr Mark Baumgarten - A Newborn King (Christmas)

Fr Mark Baumgarten has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'A Newborn King'. The Christmas season is a time of joy, but it can also be a time of great anxiety. We're all trying to make our lives better, but it can be difficult to know how to do that when our world seems so full of pain.  In this new song by Fr Mark Baumgarten, we get a glimpse into the struggle between cynicism and hope.  Fr Mark is a priest and musician from Perth, Australia. The song has been produced by Fr Mark Baumgarten on the piano and lead vocal, Naya Chorale, St Mary’s Cathedral Choir, Graeme Bell (bass), Andre Bourgault du Coudray (trombone), and Simon Groves (trumpet). My favorite part of the lyrics is where Fr Mark sings: 'There's a newborn King, who's turned everything upside down. But 'pretender kings' are still clinging to their crowns... and so am I. Yet still the star, it shines on a weary world. And still our hearts, they pine for a priceless pearl of ho
