Welcome to the World You Made by Austin & Lindsey Adamec Friday, November 18, 2016 "Welcome to the World You Made" is the brand new Christmas single from husband and wife duo Austin and Lindsey Adamec. Austin shares "'Welcome To The World You Made’ is a six-word concept sent to us by our brilliant lyricist friend, Tony Wood, that says a million words to Lindsey and I. We were in the studio with our producer Ian Eskelin writing for our full-length record a few weeks ago when we got sidetracked by this huge idea that immediately took us to that quiet, starry night in Bethlehem... Melodies and lyrics started pouring in as we travelled back to the mystery of this incredibly humble welcome party for the Savior of our world. The chorus says: 'The stars You formed all shine in wonder, Angel eyes are so amazed. The wind it whispers hallelujah and fills the night alive with praise. King of mercy, King of grace, welcome to the world You made.' Lindsey and I hope this song allows you to celebrate with us this Christmas no matter what season you find yourself in.” "Welcome to the World You Made" is now available on iTunes and you can pick up the Original Master MultiTracks here on MultiTracks.com.
