The Christmas Song giving me chills this Year…
General — By Shannon Schmid on December 19, 2010 at 3:06 amDo you have a favorite Christmas carol or hymn?
There is a song that I’ve heard on the radio several times in the last couple days, that I just have to share with you all!
I thought I’d heard all the Christmas songs – and from every perspective that could be written. But I’d never heard one from Mary’s perspective, singing to a newborn baby Jesus. Have you?
It really brings home the Christmas season to me – it’s haunting and beautiful. And its a viewpoint I’ve never really thought about. And it’s one that is so poignant to me now, as mother myself.
In case you haven’t heard this new Christmas hymn- I’m including a link to it. Not sure how long the link will be up. But if you have the chance I really encourage you to give it a listen. Perhaps it will touch you the way it touches me:)

Merry Christmas!

@Kerri, Kerri- so glad you like it too! I also bought it on itunes, it’s a song I want on my Christmas music list permanently! Took forever to find out what artist sang it- I just kept hearing it on the radio and loving it!
So glad I’m not the only one enjoying it this year!

She reminds me of the Nicole Nordham CD you sent me a few years back. Really beautiful.

@Danielle, She reminds me of Nicole Nordeman too! And the Noel part is so catchy and pretty like a Nicole Nordeman as well.
