This month I wanted to recommend a Christmas album that my family really loves to listen to this time of year. Three years ago, Sovereign Grace Music produced an album called “Prepare Him Room”. The idea of the album came from a family devotional book called “Prepare Him Room” written by Marty Machowski. I personally have not gone through that devotional, but have heard great things about it. The album includes a mixture of familiar Christmas hymns (many of them reworked with different melodies and lyrics) as well as some original songs. Some of the highlights include their rendition of “O Holy Night (Hear the Gospel Story)” which really encapsulates the power of the Gospel story through new lyrics in both the second and third verses, as well as the song “Who Would Have Dreamed” and “He Who is Mighty”. I love the chorus in “Who Would Have Dreamed” which says:

Who would have dreamed, or ever foreseen

That we could hold God in our Hands?

The giver of life was born in the night,

Revealing God’s glorious plan

To save the world.

I hope this album serves you and your family well as you take time to reflect on the reality of the incarnation. I am very thankful to Sovereign Grace music for providing such a beautifully crafted, gospel rich album!
