The Best Modern Versions of Christmas Carols | scriptureand.blogspot.com

I am a bit of a Christmas Music connoisseur. I have multiple Christmas playlists on my smartphone, but my general Christmas playlist has over 400 songs and is nearly 24 hours long. I grew up listening to Bing Crosby and Perry Como croon Christmas carols on vinyl and loving Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant's newer Christmas songs. I thought I would share with you what I thought was the best modern version of each Christmas carol.  Which are your favorites? Or do you think another artist has topped any of these versions?

Most know the story behind It Is Well With My Soul.   You can find it here .  The hymn is powerful because Horatio G. Spafford's words echoed God's Word. It Is Well With My Soul by Horatio G. Spafford in 1873 Verse 1 : When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, Isaiah 66:12 For thus says the LORD, "Behold, I extend peace to her like a river, And the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; And you will be nursed, you will be carried on the hip and fondled on the knees. When sorrows like sea billows roll; Psalm 42:7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul. James 1:2-4 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

Bible Verses for How Great Is Our God

Chris Tomlin wrote How Great Is Our God while contemplating Psalm 104 and the greatness and majesty of the Lord . The first verse definitely echoes that psalm, but then expands to some features of God's greatness. It beautifully brings together Old and New Testament truths about our great God. How Great Is Our God by Chris Tomlin, Ed Cash, and Jesse Reeves Verse 1 : The splendor of a King, Clothed in majesty, Psalm 104:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty , Let all the Earth rejoice All the Earth rejoice. 1 Chronicles 16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice ; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” He wraps himself in light, And darkness tries to hide, Psalm 104:2 Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak , stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.
