Check out this video of Darius Rucker and Lindsey Stirling performing the Christmas hymn ‘What Child Is This.’ “What Child is this, who laid to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, come Peasant, King to own Him The King of Kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him.” What a magical performance! Darius Rucker is singing the song while Lindsey Stirling beautifully dances and plays her violin while surrounded by so many lit up Christmas trees. The performance is from this year’s CMA Country Christmas, and it was aired on November 30th on ABC. “Great rendition, violin was an excellent complement to his voice,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video. “All in all, a beautiful rendition of this wonderful hymn.” “This is so beautiful it brought me to tears, more than once! Thank you for this!! Praise Jesus, the Lord, my savior!” writes another person online. The lyrics to the Christmas hymn ‘What Child Is This?’ was written by William Chatterton Dix in 1865. William spent most of his life as a businessman in Glasgow, Scotland. He was very interested in traditional English folk songs, and when he started writing the lyrics for ‘What Child Is This?,’ he decided to use the melody of ‘Greensleeves’ to create the carol. It is his most memorable and famous creation to date. We hope that you enjoyed watching this performance by the talented Darius Rucker and Lindsey Stirling, and may this Christmas season fill you with hope and joy! John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Listen to this wonderful Christmas performance by Tim McGraw of the song ‘It Wasn’t His Child.’ “He was her man, she was his wife, and late one winter night, He knelt by her as she gave birth, but it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child Yet still he took him as his own, and as he watched him grow, It brought him joy, but it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child” This beautiful song is by Trisha Yearwood, and it is on her album titled The Sweetest Gift. It’s a Christmas song that tells the story of Joseph, a story that we don’t often hear get told in Christmas music. Tim McGraw did a marvelous job performing ‘It Wasn’t His Child’ on CMA Country Christmas this year. He is seen sitting in a cozy Christmas scene with just an acoustic guitar accompanying him. Such a perfect setting for this performance. “The story of Joseph in music -- how God must have poured out so much love over Joseph and given him an extra measure of understanding and kindness to be the earthly father of Jesus. How blessed are we to hear the story in music from Tim McGraw,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video. “How beautiful. Tim did a wonderful job with his most beautiful voice,” writes another person online. “This was needed during such hard times, to help us to remember our Lord Jesus Christ and the greatest gift he gave to us.” We hope that you enjoyed this touching performance by Tim McGraw and fell in love with the beautiful humanity of this Christmas song about Joseph. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

Rising country star Gabby Barrett ushers in the Christmas season with a stunning performance of ‘The First Noel’ during the 2020 CMA Country Christmas celebration. This classic hymn is the perfect reminder of the real reason for the Christmas season. ‘The first Noel the angel did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; in fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter's night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel.’ Gabby Barrett rose to fame as a contestant on season 16 of American Idol. She finished in third place, behind winner Maddie Poppe and runner-up Caleb Lee Hutchinson. Since that time, Gabby has continued to follow her dreams of making music and spreading the word of God. Gabby grew up in a Christian household and has always been open about her faith. In fact, she auditioned with ‘His Eye Is On The Sparrow.’ Today, she is ringing in the Christmas season with this beautiful rendition of ‘The First Noel’ during the CMA Country Christmas. ‘They looked up and saw a star shining in the east, beyond them far; and to the earth it gave great light, and so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel.’ Matthew 2:11 “And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.”

This husband and wife sing ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ in a music store, and it’s beautiful! It’s always nice to see a couple sharing love through performance. The couple are Emil and Zandra Ernebro. Aside from being in love, the husband and wife are very talented. The husband, Emil, opens in the video by demonstrating his ability with a guitar. His wife, Zandra, waits for her moment and then engages the audience with strong vocals. Together they flow in unison as they perform this awesome cover. The shop they perform in is called No. 1 Guitarshop and is located in Sweden. And this cover song is just one of many videos they have posted of themselves and others in the shop sharing their musical talents. Behind Emil and Zandra is an array of guitars of different makes and models. The shop sells guitars and clearly makes use of showcasing talent too. The classic song ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ has been performed by a number of different artists over the years, including the famous Frank Sinatra. Though the original tune was written by Bart Howard with the title, “In Other Words.” That year, musician Kaye Ballard made her first recording of the song. Ten years later is when Frank Sinatra came out with his rendition of the song, which grew wildly popular. The lyrics of the song include: Fill my heart with song and let me sing forevermore You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words, please be true In other words, I love you The sentimental and touching lyrics could be words spoken to a lover and even to God himself. Love has the ability to take us to great places, some would say even the moon. The Bible is filled with songs in the Book of Psalms that talk about a love we Christians feel that takes us to various places in life. God is the giver of love and we are the recipients. One thing is for certain, God’s blessings of love and gifts to us is why we are able to share that same love and those same gifts with others. We can thank God for whatever our talents are knowing that only because of Him we can do our part to serve others. “We love him, because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

Would you believe this caring gorilla helps an injured bird? Animals can surprise you, especially when animals get along that you wouldn’t expect. Over in New South Wales, Australia, one friendly gorilla takes notice of an injured bird inside his enclosure. The gorilla walks some distance over to where the injured bird is laying. All the while, a family catches the incident on camera. The gorilla nudges the bird a bit, seemingly to try and get it to move and fly away. Despite the attempts, the bird does not move at all. When he realizes the bird isn’t moving, the gorilla lays down by the bird, confirming his suspicion and maybe checking for breathing. The gorilla’s actions resemble one person checking another person who is unconscious as they listen for breathing or other vital signs. With the bird not moving still, the gorilla sits up and glances around momentarily. He touches the bird more firmly this time. Miraculously, the bird moves, fluttering its wings. This surprises the gorilla and the people filming. The gorilla touches the bird a little more, causing more movement in the bird. The bird doesn’t keep moving though and at times is simply still. The gorilla tries to lift the bird up on his finger like a scene out of a Tarzan or King Kong movie. The bird will not move much despite the gorilla’s attempts. What makes the video funny is that he goes back to inspecting the bird, trying to figure out what is keeping the bird in place. He doesn’t know the bird likely has an injured wing or leg. With all of his efforts, the gorilla tires and walks away, not harming the bird and minding its own business again. “How awesome was that?” one of the women behind the camera asks. The incident is awesome indeed. How fascinating, witnessing acts of love not just with people, but also the animals the Lord has created.

A 4-year-old hero saves his baby brother from drowning in a pool. This positive news story is incredible! So young, yet so brave. Picture this - a toddler with the intuition to save his brother. He may not know how to do it, but instinctively he does, braving the potential danger in front of him. Out in Placentia, California, Mason Ochoa has become the youngest member on an elite team of firefighters who hold a special heroic distinction. He met the criterias of being quite heroic for his young age. When he saw his young brother Nicolas fall into his family’s pool, he reacted immediately. Mason reached for Nicolas’ arm, and held his brother’s head above water. At the same time he yelled for help. Raul Velez, Mason’s grandfather made this comment about the boy. “He was a fast learner, so he learned to swim. He knows how to swim. So that helped us a lot because he's only four years old.” There was a fence previously around the pool, but after Mason’s parents sold the house, the fence had been removed. Thus, there was always the potential for this accident to occur. Nonetheless, the young hero was present and ready to help his brother in need. For his incredible feat he was given a fire department challenge coin and an honorary patch. After receiving his accolades, Mason was able to dive into the firefighter lifestyle, donning a firefighter helmet and jacket, which was almost bigger than he was. With adult guidance, Mason sprayed water from a fire hose. And he even spent time helping community members by learning to tie bandages. This kid has done something spectacular, and life-saving. Surely he deserves all the attention and love he receives. Thankfully too, his brother Nicholas has recovered from the incident. “A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Proverbs 17:17

Listen to this beautiful new song called ‘Thank You’ by Pentatonix.

Country superstar Carrie Underwood ushers in the Christmas season with the beautiful words of ‘Sweet Baby Jesus.’ As you listen to these incredible words, remember that it all started in a little town of Bethlehem on that miraculous December night. “Sweet Baby Jesus come down to love us To lie in a manger so far from home You could have left us, helpless and so lost But you chose to save us Sweet Baby Jesus” Carrie became a household name after winning the fourth season of American Idol back in 2005. Since that time, she’s truly cemented herself in the country music world with hit after hit for nearly two decades. Today, Carrie is treating us to a very special performance of ‘Sweet Baby Jesus’ from the Cracker Barrel stage. This holiday single is featured on Carrie’s first full-length Christmas album, My Gift. “Fully human, fully God Full of wonder and the blood That one day you would shed to save the world Tiny feet and tiny hands with all the earth at their command” The birth of Jesus Christ laid the steps for our path into Heaven. He was sent down as a baby and ended up dying for all of our sins. Let us remember how it all began with this beautiful Christmas tune. Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

The talented women of Noteworthy usher in the Christmas season with a rousing mashup of ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’ and ‘Go Tell It On The Mountain.’ These two Christmas songs are the perfect blend of timeless classics and modern-day favorites. “Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled” Today, the all-female choir of Noteworthy is giving all the glory to our King with this incredible performance. Time after time, these nine women use to lift His Name in praise and this stunning holiday medley is no different. Just listen as they come together and belt out the words of ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’ and ‘Go Tell It On The Mountain.’ “Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain Our Jesus Christ is born” The women of Noteworthy do a wonderful job of reminding everyone of the real reason for the season. There is no doubt that Bethlehem was buzzing on that fateful December night. Our Savior entered the world and the path to our salvation was laid in place. We are so blessed for this ultimate gift from our Lord in Heaven and we will continue to use our voices to spread His message of love, peace and forgiveness. John 1:9-10 “The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.”

World-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli belts out a powerful rendition of ‘Silent Night’ during The Disney Holiday Singalong. This classic hymn is always a welcome tune this time of year and it’s even more beautiful coming from this superstar. "Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon Virgin, Mother, Mother and Child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly" For decades, Andrea has been showcasing his incredible vocals with songs such as ‘The Prayer’ and ‘Time To Say Goodbye.’ After a 14-year hiatus from releasing an album, Andrea produced ‘Si’ in 2018. This international success proved that this Italian vocalist is still a powerhouse and he has no signs of slowing down. Today, Andrea is helping us get into the Christmas spirit with this incredible performance of ‘Silent Night.’ Interwoven with families from all over the world, Andrea belts out these unforgettable lyrics. "Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing 'Alleluia! Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born" We are so blessed to have the opportunity to celebrate our Savior’s birth each December. It was such a momentous occasion that changed the entire world. Now, we can share His love with everyone through this beautiful hymn of thanks. Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
