“Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail the incarnate Deity. Pleased as man with

            men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel.”

            And,

            “Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die. Born to raise the

            sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.”

            And,

            “O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan’s tyranny From depths

            of Hell Thy people save And give them victory o’er the grave.”

But, not only do the classics give us great perspective, but some of the newer contemporary Christmas songs add to our worship. I want to recommend to you three of my newer favorites. I’ll also tell you who I listen to singing them, but realize that they may be done better by others. My whole goal is for you to expand your horizons, and also to know my favorite flavors.

Adoration by the Newsboys, One Quiet Moment and In the First Light

            “He raises a wrinkled hand through the dust and flies, wrapped in rags like we

            are and with barely opened eyes, He takes my finger And He won’t let go

            And He won’t let go…Come let us adore Him…”

            And,

            “They wrestled with knowing that His life would bring change; Friends would

            grow distant, and shun them as strange. Though they tried not to think it, in

            their hearts they were sure, That their baby was destined to die for the world.”

            And,

            “In the first light of a new day No one knew that He had arrived. Things

            continued as they had been While a new born softly cried. But the heavens

            wrapped in wonder Knew the meaning of His birth. In the weakness of a

            baby They knew God had come to earth.”
