Behold the Lamb of God Labor of Love

Labor of Love: Behold the Lamb of God

Love is wrapped all throughout Christmas. But the path was not easy. Sometimes we dismiss the pain that was involved for Mary to bring the Savior into the world. The situation was messy and uncomfortable. Imperfect, just as those He came to save. It was not a silent night There was blood on the ground […]

2017 Song Four (Seven Songs for My Savior): “Bethlehem Town” by Jars of Clay

My husband is not a fan of Christmas music.  I am not sure why.  It’s not like I play it all year round – I am one of those people who waits until after Thanksgiving.  But over the years, I have managed to find a few that he will listen to with me without grumbling.  […]

Lyric Lines: Four of Seven Songs for a Savior

Chris Tomlin’s Glory to God in the Highest is one of the most worshipful Christmas albums!  All of the songs point to the Savior.  But the one that is my favorite actually features another lead vocalist – Audrey Aussad.  Since we are getting a few flurries here today and tomorrow, this song, “Winter Snow” seems […]

Lyric Lines: Two of Seven Songs for a Savior

I first heard Nicole C. Mullen’s Christmas in Black and White album at my friend’s house when I listened while watching her boys for her one December morning.  Considering the fact that they are now both in high school, I have liked that album for quite awhile.  One that I gladly added to my Christmas […]

I love Christmas music! But sometimes I can lose track of the reason for the season.  This has been a busy December for me, so I have needed music with strong lyrics to remind me of just what Christmas is all about.  For the next seven blog posts, I want to share some of my […]
