Kutless’ This is Christmas comes hot on the heels of its current single, Everything I Need, which is #24 with a bullet on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart this week. As we draw closer to Christmas, more and more Christmas singles are coming out from Christian music’s elite, and Kutless is no exception. This is Christmas is a passionate reminder of the “reason for the season,” if you will; This is Christmas‘ lyrics clearly focus on Jesus. I think Kutless’ This is Christmas would be an excellent, excellent song for use at progressive Christian worship services this December; do you agree?
This is Christmas is taken from the various artists’ compilation O Come All Ye Faithful: A Christmas Album. Friends, this album is a 210 Yuletide must-have. In addition to Kutless’ This is Christmas, other tracks from this CD are already receiving airplay, including What Child Is This by The Museum and the title track, O Come All Ye Faithful, courtesy of Jeremy Camp. The CD was released September 28, but I’ll bet sales’ll pick up with more tracks now picking up airplay from the holiday season.
WHAT IS CHRISTMAS Lyrics
Kutless
Do you find it hard to sleep tonight
Resting by the Christmas lights
Could there be something you forgot
Beyond the bows, and mistletoe
The tree with presents wrapped below
There’s more to this that you had ever thought
Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?
What is Christmas
If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger
What is Christmas without Christ?
Remember how the story goes
God’s gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes
Beneath a star, one great and holy night
The shepherds heard the angels sing
The wise men brought an offering
Peace on Earth began in Bethlehem
Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?
What is Christmas
If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger
What is Christmas if the angels never sang
Glory to the newborn King
What is Christmas without Christ
That we know
Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo
What is Christmas
if there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger (Joy to the world)
What is Christmas without Christ?
This is Christmas
It’s all about the Savior wrapped in the manger (Joy to the world)
This is Christmas
Because of Jesus Christ
This is Christmas
Because of Christ!
Because of Christ!
