Ten years after the release of their popular Christmas album, The Christmas Sessions, Dove Award winning contemporary Christian band MercyMe is back with a new holiday album entitled It's Christmas! This new album reinterprets classic holiday songs mixed with originals, soaring emotive ballads, fun, up-tempos tracks and original compositions.
People will love MercyMe's festive renditions of popular classics such as "Do You Hear What I Hear" and the bluesy "Go Tell It On The Mountain." "Newborn" blends "Away in a Manger" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" in a dynamic medley that's full of atmosphere and originality. "Joy" is another such song, blending "Joy to the World" and "O Come All Ye Faithful" in powerful way that is both moving and worshipful as it invites all to worship, "O come let us adore Him." Light and folky "Our Lullaby" is a sweet song of worship to the newborn king that recognizes Him as the One who brings peace and fulfills all promises. The chorus tenderly praises, "Lullaby. Let heaven and angels sing for You tonight, for You tonight. This is our lullaby. Peace on earth has finally arrived."
This great new album definitely showcases MercyMe's originality and versatility, presenting songs in different styles that would work in numerous settings. It is now available for download on iTunes. Pick up your copy today!
