"12월입니다~" 매년 이맘때가 되면 예정된 행사를 위해 분주하거나 연말연시 분위기에 휩쓸려 하루하루를 빠르게 흘려보낼 수 있을 것도 같은데요, 색다르고 재미있는 이벤트를 더 많이 기대하고 고민하던 크리스마스(?)는 아니었는지...
올해는 크리스마스에 담겨 있는 소중한 의미를 조금 더 많이 나누며 생각하고자, 그동안 들어왔던 여러 크리스마스 음반들을 새롭게 들어 보면서 주의 깊게 가사를 살펴보면 좋겠습니다.
Matthew West - Christmas To Beleve In
Unto Us : A Christmas Collection (2016)
Matthew West
"메리 크리스마스?" 매년 습관처럼 하던 크리스마스 인사말에 우리는 어떤 의미를 담고 있었나요?
"It's grandpa's Bible opened up to Luke Chapter 2 It's the greatest gift of love being born for me and you It's a heart returning home to the One who is the reason Every Christmas is a Christmas to believe in May your Christmas be a Christmas to believe in"
Owl City - Light of Christmas (feat. TobyMac)
VeggieTales Merry Larry and the True Light of Christmas (2013)
TobyMac Light of Christmas (2017)

그런데요, 우리가 매번 맞이하는 크리스마스는 정말 어떤 날인 것이지요?
"Light me up and I'll show you the way Every year can't wait for Christmas day Light me up, I finally figured out What Christmas is all about ; Do you hear the sound? A thousand angels are singing out To God Almighty we're bowing down And that's what Christmas is all about"
JJ Heller - Christmas Is Here
Unto Us (2016)
JJ Heller, David Heller, Jason Gray
오래전부터 그저 전해 내려오는 이야기가 아니라면, 지금 이곳에서도 그 엄청난 기쁨과 영광을 경험하고 있을까요
"Join in the chorus, sing to the baby Sleeping beneath the stars that He made Light in the darkness, hope for the hopeless His love will never fade away ; Heaven came down to earth To bind our wounds, and wipe away our tears ; Let us adore Him Lift up your voices Sing it out loud Sing it out clear Christmas is here"
Mariah Carey - The Star
The Star (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2017)
Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff
처음부터 다시, 말씀을 묵상하며 '크리스마스' ~ 이 날의 의미를 생각해봅니다.
"Follow that star above you Should the world try to break you down There is one who waits for you Though you can't see him now ; Thunder and rain surrounds you But His love's just a breath away If you follow your heart, follow the light Follow that... star ; Follow your heart, it's Christmas Follow your heart, it's Christmas"
Francesca Battistelli - Messiah
Greatest Hits : The First Ten Years (2017)
Molly Reed, Jeff Pardo, Francesca Battistelli
'크리스마스'의 주인공은 메시아~ 우리를 죄에서 구원하실 유일한 구세주이심을~! 전심으로 깨닫기를 원합니다.
"Long awaited precious promise Son of God and son of man Heaven's glory in a manger Has come to us in Bethlehem ; Messiah Messiah Baby born to save us all Messiah Messiah On our knees we fall ; All we longed for, all we needed Shining in this child's eyes Hope forever, death defeated Because of this one holy night"
Danny Gokey - Lift Up Your Eyes
Christmas Is Here (2015)
Mia Fieldes, Danny Gokey, Jonathan Smith
'그 이름은 기묘자라, 모사라, 전능하신 하나님이라, 영존하시는 아버지라, 평강의 왕이라 할 것임이라'
"Hear the angel's song Break the silent night Lift up your eyes Lift up your eyes See the Saving One Born that none may die Lift up your eyes Lift up your eyes ; Glory to God Let the praises rise Lift up your eyes Lift up your eyes Glory to God Let the earth reply Lift up your eyes"
Hillsong Worship - Born Is The King (It's Christmas)
We Have A Savior (2012)
Matt Crocker, Scott Ligertwood
하얀 눈이나 화려하게 장식된 트리가 없어도 ... "여러분~ 크리스마스입니다!"
"Born unto us this day a Saviour Gifted from heaven to a manger ; The hope of the world A light for all mankind All of the earth rejoice It’s Christmas time ; So lift up your voice And sing out His praise It’s Christmas Born is the King Rejoice in the day It’s Christmas ; Make a joyful sound It’s Christmas Let His praise resound It’s Christmas"
온 백성에게 미칠 큰 기쁨의 좋은 소식을 너희에게 전하노라, 오늘 다윗의 동네에 너희를 위하여 구주가 나셨으니 곧 그리스도 주시니라 !
