Three Christmas Songs for You

As I promised last week, here are three Christmas songs for you. May they add to your Christmas celebration!

The first song is “When Love Was Born” by Mark Schultz. I appreciated this song for its reverent gentleness.

The second Christmas song is “Son of God” by Michael Smith. This beautiful song includes a choir and lovely visuals.

The third song is “O Holy Night” performed beautifully by Celtic Woman.

Once again, Merry Christmas to All!
