This track is very special to Phil. He said,

“‘Joy To The World’ may be my favorite song for Christmas in terms of lyrics. It’s just so beautifully written. There is so much joy and declaration of what God had done to enter into our darkness, bringing joy and light and peace. It’s been amazing to go live into the studio and bring it to life, and envision what I always wanted it to be.”

Today, he’s showcasing the brand new video for this powerful Christmas song “Joy to the World.” Don’t miss out on witnessing his rendition as he stands with a choir behind him and belting out the incredible words of the song.

Joyful, joyful we adore Thee

Opening to the sun above

As Christians, Christmas Day is one of the special events that happen in our life. It marks the day that our Lord Jesus Christ was born. Therefore, the traditional belief upon celebrating his birthday is by going to church and preparing food for the family.

Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
