The Bible says that Jesus came to earth to bring salvation to humanity and to dwell in the hearts of those who believe in Him. As we celebrate the birth of Christ and lift our hearts in worship, we're reminded that it was for our hearts that He came. Below, we've prepared a special collection of anthems that beautifully pair heartfelt lyrics with soul-stirring melodies to convey the true meaning of Christmas in song.
These songs testify to the beauty and wonder of God's love for us found in the miracle of Christ's birth, and they inspire the listener to open their hearts to fully receive His love. We hope you'll take some time to listen and consider these beautiful pieces for your worship services this Christmas.
