“Alleluia, Christ is Born!” the debut Christmas single from husband and wife duo Brad and Joanie Perry, better known to fans as Alabaster Grace, is gaining traction at Christian radio with more than 43 stations already placing the song in rotation following its release from Westar Media Group.
“Alleluia, Christ is Born!” is the highly anticipated follow-up to the duo’s most recent single, “Wait Upon the Lord.” The new Christmas hymn, as well as its accompanying lyric video, reveals a deeply reverential, acoustic rendition of classic Christmas themes which encourages listeners to embrace the quiet mystery of the birth of Christ.
“Alabaster Grace’s new Christmas single is a great song to celebrate Jesus’ birth!” says Westar Media Group’s Kathryn Livingston. “This is a wonderful song for the holiday season.”
“I wanted this song to have a contemplative and calming feel reminiscent of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” adds Joanie Perry. “I personally love that the bridge offers the hopeful plea, ‘Holy Child, shine on us.’”
Song Lyrics:
The Holy Child in manger stall
Shines brighter than the brightest star
From Heaven’s throne He came to earth
To become man by human birth
Alleluia, Christ is Born
Alleluia, He was scorned
Alleluia, Heaven mourned
Alleluia, He is Lord
The mystery of why He came
Was to take all our guilt and shame
His love so pure has washed us clean
White as the snow and now we sing
Alleluia, Christ is Born
Alleluia, He was scorned
Alleluia, Heaven mourned
Alleluia, He is Lord
Holy Child, Shine on us
Shine on us
The Holy Child in manger stall
Shines brighter than the brightest star
From Heaven’s throne He came to earth
To become man by human birth
Alleluia, Christ is Born
Alleluia, He was scorned
Alleluia, Heaven mourned
Alleluia, He is Lord
