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.

"Jesus Christ" by Robin Vane: From Shame to Mercy, One Surrender at a Time

Robin Vane's "Jesus Christ" is a beautiful EDM track with a powerful message. A message, or better said, a testimony, that you'd expect to hear across a coffee table, or during an informal church gathering. It's raw, honest, and quietly brave. The song starts by looking back to a younger self, when he "had no hope" and "stopped believing," stuck in a season where it was "dark," lonely, and defeating. In other words, it names the kind of despair many people hide, even today, including our younger generations.  Robin continues to sing about when the turning point hit: Jesus "knocked on the door," and how he opened up to "love in the flesh." He also sings about what happened when Grace found him before he was able to clean himself up… Robin shares, "I surrendered and fell to my knees," and "I was weeping for the first time." That moment became a line in the sand for Robin: "I will never...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Hallelujah" by Kensie Breen: Finding Grace in Every Broken Hallelujah

Kensie Breen's "Hallelujah" takes Leonard Cohen's timeless song and gives it a warm, country-Christmas vibe. Kensie, just 14 years old, beautifully emphasizes the reality of faith, the never-ending clash between biblical beauty and human brokenness.  Staying true to Cohen's original lyrics, Kensie traces David and Samson's stories. Stories that remind us that even when we've "done our best, it wasn't much," and still we can stand before the "Lord of Song" with our praises. The song gives us the hope that every hallelujah on our lips, holy or broken, can still rise to God.  So what does that mean for us? It means our imperfect worship still matters. Our mixed-up, mid-December heart still counts. It invites us to stop looking for excuses and just praise, because He is listening. He hears our praises, and He knows our hearts. May Kensie's beautiful rendition of Cohen's "Hallelujah" remind you that true worship isn...
