  • This song says It All. Period.

  • This song is amazing, it tells the Christmas story so well.

  • I love this song so much it tells the Christmas story so well.

  • Until Jesus was born there was no hope for forgiveness. For all of the sins had been rolled to the next year. Here manfested in flesh was grace.

  • my favorite christmas song...... :)

  • this is a perfect example of what Christmas is really about.

  • awesome

    

  • One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in any genre.

  • 4 people mistook the dislike bar for dis-I-like!!!

  • Amazing song in general, I am in love with the music played with the lyrics.

  • I luv dis song

  • this song is in the cantata me and my church chior are doing and as the younges member i was thrilled to find this song from the book

  • But that's not as important as my second point. 2, "no grace...but that was the night before Christmas" ...Grace began at the cross, not his birth. "For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness" - Heb 9:22 ... I don't mean to nit-pick...if you love the song and it touched you GREAT....but it bothers me :(

  • @YazooIsEpic to this i say that Jesus first had to be born so that what happened at the cross could take place, so in a way it started here because that is when he stepped into our world

  • @YazooIsEpic christ is god and god is timeless. grace began with god.

  • @MsSmartie100

    I agree, but when he says no hope no grace and no light, he means that everything was dark until our Savior was born. Christmas started it all, and THAT is why it is so important. People were without hope until Christ was born. It symbolized hope for the life of men. Maybe not for everyone at the time, but now, yes.

  • The song has a really great concept...although I have 2 problems with this song: 1, Jesus wasn't born on Christmas (Hint: Shepherds don't graze their sheep in the dead of winter) It was most likely spring sometime. So no, it wasn't the night before Dec 25 that all that changed.

  • @YazooIsEpic actually they think it was more towards september, but the point of the song is about his birth, so the actual date is not that important

  • @YazooIsEpic

    uhm, remember that this is in Bethlehem.. Not the united states. ...so yeah. It wasn't the same climate? It's typically hotter in Israel...

  • @MeghanElizabeth1994 it's also cold at night in the desert, sand isn't good at trapping heat.

  • @YazooIsEpic Jesus was technically born on Christmas. Christmas is when Jesus was born. December 25th is just when the early Church decided to celebrate His birthday. Brandon isn't singing about December 25th. H's singing about the night that Christ was born.

    On your second point, I think Brandon is saying that before Christ there was no grace, because it was Christ who offered himself as a holy sacrifice that would wipe away all our sin. And Christmas is when Christ came.

  • Oh my! Such a very inspiring song! :D this is definitley on my chritmas playlist! :D

  • THANK YOU BRANDON HEATH!! SO INSPIRING!

  • One of the singers at my church sang this song today, and it was just so beautiful. I had to find it and put it on my ipod. Its a really pretty song, great for Christmas, and I got chills when I heard it this morning. And even though I'm kinda embarrassed to admit, I got a little teary eyed too. It just really touched me. :')

  • this is such a beautiful song! I love the realness behind the lyrics :)

  • SO IN LOVE<3 Brandon Heath you are amazing!!

  • Im singing "Beautiful Surprise" from this album at church as a solo

  • my music teacher asked our class to write down our favorite Christmas song. this was the song that first came out of my mind. and i chose it.

    . this kind of song must be sang all around Christmas instead of those song about earthly gifts or santa who didn't even do anything before, during or even after Christ's birth.

  • I just heard this song for the first time tonight on K-LOVE and instantly fell in love with it.

  • This song is what brings me hapiness this holiday season. Lots of songs inspire me. Especially this one. He is risen. <3

  • Is this a song Brandon wrote or did he just do a new version of an older song?

  • @JesusLovesPiano94 look in the description. Some friends of Brandon wrote the song.

  • I can't stop singing this song! <3

    I love it!

  • i found this on Christmas Eve night one year, looking for the 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' poem, but this is phenomenal! <3 i love it!! ^_^

  • i luv the sound of the begining! (and the song)

  • I just heard this song this month and I think I like it.

  • I don't understand the saying "Jesus is the reason for the season". Shouldn't it read "Jesus is the reason for all seasons"? Why only glorify Jesus in the time we celebrate his birth and not every part of the year He has given us. And if it has to do with reminding people the true meaning of Christams, the birth of our Savior, rather than it being about Santa Clause giving presents wheres the saying during Easter,the resurrection of our Savior, when people look for colored eggs a bunny hid.

  • @hearingaidlad I'm not talking about the song. It doesn't even mention the saying. I'm talking about people who say "Jesus is the reason for the season". And I have enjoyed the song.
