A Spotify playlist of modern Christmas worship songs from today's worship bands. Use it to adore Jesus through Advent, on Christmas Eve or in the car, whether you are alone or with your whole family.
Why sing at Christmas?
At Christmas the church is not celebrating a mood, it is celebrating an event: God became a man. The angel told the shepherds about great joy for all people, the birth of a Savior who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11). News like that calls for an answer, and that answer is worship.
The prophet Isaiah had already announced this child, given to us (Isaiah 9:6). To sing at Christmas is to say again that the promise was fulfilled in Jesus, and that God keeps his word.
How to use this playlist
At your Christmas service, it helps you choose your repertoire and spot songs your worship team could pick up. At home, play it while you prepare the Christmas Eve meal, or around the nativity scene. In the car, it turns December drives into time of worship.
You can also listen on your own in the morning, before the day speeds up. A few songs are enough to bring your heart back to Jesus in the middle of the gifts and the shopping.
