You have to listen to this wonderful rendition of ‘Feliz Navidad’ from Andrea Bocelli with his children Matteo and Virginia.
“Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad, Prospero Ano y Felicidad.
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas, I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart”
What a great recording of this popular Christmas song! Andrea Bocelli is joined by his 24-year-old son Matteo and his 10-year-old daughter Virginia in this Christmas classic. At the beginning of the song, the family is speaking in Italian before breaking out into ‘Feliz Navidad.’ And the way their smooth voices blend together in the song sounds so wonderful!
The Bocelli trio even recorded a Christmas album together this year called A Family Christmas. The album includes a collection of traditional carols arranged for the three voices and new original songs including ‘The Greatest Gift.’ And each member of the Bocelli family gets a chance to shine on A Family Christmas with solo tracks, duets, and trios.
“We are offering our small, intimate, and heartfelt gift to anyone who wishes to enjoy the soundtrack of Christmas in the Bocelli home,” the family trio say of the album.
And Andrea Bocelli shares about how special it was working on this project with his children. “I think there is nothing more beautiful than making music with your kids,” he said.
“I consider it a privilege,” Matteo added. “Singing these songs together, feeling the holiday warmth with my family is something really special. That’s what Christmas is about – making memories together to cherish forever. It’s really exciting to think that people will have a copy of our album sitting wrapped under the tree.”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to this special Christmas recording from the Bocelli family today!

Oh, just let them be little”

Check out this wonderful live performance of TobyMac and Blessing Offor singing their new song ‘The Goodness.’
“You made the rain, so, when it falls on me, should I complain?
Or feel You're calling me, it's all on me to stay and really catch what You're showing
It's my roots that You're growing, 'cause life is more than this moment
You are the light so, when the darkness falls, the greatest heights, they never seem so tall
No, not at all, You're right, it's my roots that You're growing, don't wanna miss
What You're showing, ain't no doubt about You, everywhere that I go
You keep showing up Lord, You make me wanna shout it, oh You're the goodness in my life”

Before the performance, Toby Mac shared a message with the audience. “Before we get started, I just wanted to take a second to say thank you. Thank you for the kindness that you showed me and my family as we walked through the deepest valley of losing my firstborn son. Thank you for your thoughts, thank you for your prayers. Through it all we have absolutely felt surrounded by love, and that my friends, is what the body of Christ should feel like, so thank you,” he shared.
“There were times that I thought I’d never write another song. Much less a song that up tempo or a song that felt like joy. But all I can tell you is I’ve learned that our God is kind, He’s good. He might not always give us what we want or take away the pain, but He is right there in it with us. I’ve learned that. He doesn’t leave. He remains.”
Such a powerful message. May this song and Toby’s words remind you today of the goodness of God.

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made

Ring in the Christmas season with the beloved words of ‘Mary, Did You Know?’ from Anne Wilson.
Mark Lowry spent over 7 years perfecting the lyrics to this beloved song. The idea came to Mark when he was writing a Christmas program for Jerry Falwell.
He started thinking about what he would ask Mary if she was sitting right in front of him. He wondered how she must have felt when the angel told her she would birth a child of God. That’s when he put together the questions that eventually became the lyrics we all know and love today.
‘Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God’

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great I am’

As you hear these words, let us remember the real reason for the season.

Listen to this beautiful violin cover of ‘Is He Worthy?” by Chris Tomlin.
“Do you feel the world is broken? (We do) Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)
But do you know that all the dark won't stop the light from getting through? (We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)
Is all creation groaning? (It is) Is a new creation coming? (It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)”
This wonderful cover of ‘Is He Worthy?’ was performed by Daniel Jang. Daniel is such a talented violin player, and it is lovely to listen to his rendition of this beautiful song. On his YouTube page, he likes to record and share covers for the violin, piano, and guitar.
Although Chris Tomlin made 'Is He Worthy?' popular, it was Andrew Peterson who wrote the song. And Andrew shared a bit about the writing process for this song.
“I wrote the verses with the call and response sections, and then I had no idea how to write the chorus,” he said. “I thought about how this album is about the resurrection, and I remembered how in Revelation 5 this wonderful scene unfolds where John is looking around and realizing that nobody can be found worthy to break the seal and open the scroll and to ascend to the Throne. He is weeping loudly because there is nobody worthy to do this thing. He is told, ‘no behold there is someone Who is worthy.’ I love how there is also a question and answer section in the Bible, ‘Is there anyone worthy?’ And the angels answer about the power of Jesus, ‘He is.’”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to this beautiful violin cover of ‘Is He Worthy?’ today!
