'It's about the miraculous birth of a baby unlike any other ever born to a woman. Christmas is really about much more than tinsel and holiday lights...it's about the greatest story ever told...the story of Jesus.'
Inspired by these words, Carol Cymbala, wife of pastor and author Jim Cymbala (Fresh Faith, Fresh Power, The Life God Blesses), leads the award-winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir in a beautiful new Christmas release, Light of the World. Featuring classic Christmas carols in the distinctive style of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Light of the World also includes several new songs written by Carol Cymbala to help us regain our passion for Jesus.
Light of the World resounds with an undeniable passion for God and for telling the story of God with us, Emmanuel. The title song, written by Cymbala, reminds us how drastically Jesus' birth changed everything, bringing light to a dark world. But just knowing the story is not enough, and Cymbala calls us to respond with songs like I'll Give Him My Heart (based on the poem by Christina Rossetti) and The Worship Medley (contains He Came and Jesus the Son of God). And the powerful His Plan is a shining reminder that God was in control, guiding all of the events of the Christmas story to their proper fulfillment.
Rejoice with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, and let this album renew your passion for Jesus. Other songs:
It's Christmas, Christmas Carol Medley (contains Tell Me the Story of Jesus, The First Noel, Angels We Have Heard on High and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing), Glory to God, Peace on Earth, O Holy Night and The Birthday of a King.
