Whatever is going on in the world at large or in our personal lives, it’s likely we could all use—not just holiday cheer—but a reminder of the eternal hope we celebrate this time of year.
This season, multiple Christian artists have released Christmas albums filled with traditional Christmas carols commemorating the birth of our Savior, as well as festive originals and classic Christmas songs.
“Just another little attempt to sing the grandest of all mysteries that could never really be contained in a song – the Uncreated One born among us, living,” said Grammy Award-winning artist Matt Redman of his original song, “When We Behold (In Excelsis).”

Matt Redman, known for songs such as “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord),” released the three-song Christmas EP “In Excelsis” on Nov. 15. The EP contains two originals and Redman’s version of “Silent Night.”
Redman released the single, “God the Son,” in October, posting on social media, “The reserved Brit in me is a bit embarrassed announcing the release of a new Christmas song in mid-October, ha… but here it is…As a worship leader I’m often saying, ‘the incarnation isn’t just for Christmas’ – it’s way too big and important of a theme to just sing only one season of the year.”
