Some of the biggest names in Christian music joined forces for a new tune about the birth of Jesus Christ from the new film “Journey to Bethlehem.”
Christmas is the best time of the entire year. Despite the bone-chilling wind chills and frigid temperatures that so often accompany that time of year, it’s a season to celebrate. It’s a time intended to be spent with friends, family and those closest to us remembering the birth of the one who changed the world forever: Jesus Christ.
Steven Curtis Chapman and the guys from We The Kingdom in their song “Brand New Life,” sing about this joyous occasion. The Savior of the World lowered and humbled Himself as He was born in a lowly stable and placed in a manger surrounded by farm animals.
The song’s first verse mentions spotting a star in the sky, witnessing the night sky shining with a brightness never thought possible and hearing a choir of angels singing. Christ, the newborn king, has finally arrived. It is indeed a time of celebration.
The chorus encourages all to come together and celebrate this most joyous event of the Savior coming to Earth.
“It’s a brand new life a gift from Heaven
Showing hope will rise and all’s forgiven
If you believe then join with me and celebrate
Celebrate this brand new life”
“Brand New Life” is a beautiful song that likely perfectly captures the joy and utter happiness that the wise men, shepherds and everyone else who was anxiously awaiting Christ’s arrival felt that night. They were all celebrating the brand new life that had come to save mankind from their sin and shame.
“Brand New Life” is a catchy, upbeat and truth-filled song about the birth of the Savior that deserves more than a few listens. It’s also a track almost guaranteed to get stuck in your head, leaving you humming it for several hours after that final listen.
