Celebrating Christ's Birth with Shawn Thomas' "Glory to God"


"Glory to God" by Shawn Thomas is a Christmas song with a message that can lift your spirits just, as the angels did on that night that Christ was born. The message of the song was inspired by the birth narrative that we can read in Luke 2:13–14. Shawn beautifully captures the feelings of celebration and reverence of that moment that changed everything for humanity. 

Shawn Thomas - Glory to GodThe song takes us from the humble manger all the way to the cross, emphasizing the importance of God's incredible gift of grace. Feel reverence with lines like "In a stable wrapped in love's embrace, Heaven's gift - promise of grace," and share the joy of angels as they sing "Glory to God in the highest, Peace on earth, goodwill to men." 

Beautiful lyrics that beautifully wrap up some of the highlights of Jesus' life, from celebrating His birth to His divine mission to His ultimate victory and gift to all people. Shawn's message is filled with faith and joy, and helps us feel the wonder and gratitude of God's love in our everyday lives. 

May this song help you to reach out to Him, surrendering your own way, and accepting His gift for you.

"Just Like You" by Senora Boyd: Chasing Christ Above All Else

What does it really mean to be transformed? Senora Boyd answers that question boldly in her Christian Rock/Pop anthem, "Just Like You" — and the answer might surprise you.  Less than a year before meeting her now-husband, "notlouwee!", and connecting with Billboard-charting producer "I Project", Boyd's life was looking completely different compared to where she is today. Her desires shifted, her priorities became centered on God, and the way she created music changed, together with her faith. We're talking about a full reset! What started out as a new spiritual journey quickly grew into a creative movement. Together with notlouwee! and I Project, she recorded nine songs within seven months. "Just Like You" is Boyd's fourth release, and it may be her most personal release yet.  The song is a raw, faith-filled confession. Lines like "Strip away my sin, I feel like a criminal" and "I was lost, running from the truth"...

"Soon and Very Soon" by Robby Robinson: Why This Classic Still Hits Like the First Time

What if one song could carry the weight of every hardship you've ever faced, and still leave you smiling? That's exactly what Andraé Crouch accomplished in 1978 when he wrote "Soon and Very Soon," and this new recording by Robby Robinson, Tony Galla, and Ray Reynolds makes sure you feel every bit of it.  The song is based on Revelation 21:3–4, reminding us of what's coming: no more crying, no more dying, just the glorious moment we finally see the King. Simple words, but it carries a profound promise.  Crouch was honest about the journey. There are "rivers we must cross" and "mountains we must climb." He emphasizes the truth that faith doesn't erase our struggles — it sustains us through them. God, as the lyrics remind us, will "supply all the strength that we need."   Featuring powerhouse vocalists Tony Galla and Ray Reynolds, Robinson blends this classic gospel energy with a rich, Hammond-organ-driven groove. Rather than a slow...

"Going Outta My Mind" by Fisher of Men: He Challenges You to Stop Living for Yourself

(by Jasper Tan) "Going Outta My Mind" by Fisher of Men is a modern indie pop CCM song that focuses on the suffocating nature of being self-centered, rather than being freed by the truth of God's love. With the lines "Yeah I've been livin' in my head too long, spinnin' every little worry like a broken song," it quickly establishes our tendency to dwell on our problems. And once we get in too deep with it, we more often than not get drowned by the darkness it brings. These intrusive thoughts are not healthy for us. And the only way to break free from these thoughts is to acknowledge and receive God's love, and place your problems in His care.  A simple "tap" by Jesus is all that it takes to be set free from this cycle of darkness. But the question is, are we ready to acknowledge it and let go? Jesus is always there ready to offer His help. He's always there ready to offer His friendship. Are we ready to receive it? Are we ready for H...
