I like this original Christmas track from Sidewalk Prophets, even if it was released last year. (It’s still picking up airplay this year and I missed spotlighting it last year), so I’m including it this year.) I love David Frey’s voice, and the passion and love he has for Christ really comes through in Hope Was Born This Night. I’m also enjoying the tempo of this track, it’s lovely. The sound of it isn’t as Christmassy as most – the same quality a friend of mine says was present in Chris August’s Jesus Savior – but I think it works. Your thoughts?
HOPE WAS BORN THIS NIGHT Lyrics
Sidewalk Prophets
Tonight I can see a star shine
And its splendor fills up the sky
It’s the same that appeared
And the wise men revered
When hope was born this night
Out upon the snowy fields
There’s a silent peace that heals
And it echoes the grace of our Savior’s embrace
Because hope was born this night
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward men
Let all of the world sing the chorus of joy
Because hope was born this night
I can hear the Christmas bells ringing
As softly a church choir sings
It’s the song used to praise
The ancient of days
When hope was born this night
There are angels in this place
And my heart resounds with the praise
Like a shepherd so scared
I’ll rejoice and declare
That hope was born this night
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward men
Let all of the world sing the chorus of joy
Because hope was born this night
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
Oh Gloria
Gloria, Gloria
Oh Gloria
Gloria, Gloria
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward men
Let all of the world sing the chorus of joy
Because hope was born this night
