In a world whose headlines scream of despair, where is the hope
and healing? Even at Christmas, many people struggle to find a
glimmer of light. In a world haunted by worry, stress and
loneliness, where is the word to lift the weary heart? "The
angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you
good news of a great joy which will be for all the people'."
(Luke 2:10) There IS good news of a great joy!
In the new Southern Gospel Christmas musical
Unspeakable Joy, this bounteous and overflowing joy is
captured. A dynamic blend of choruses, dramatic songs, tender
ballads, and beautiful narration recounts the stable and the
star, the angels and the shepherds, and the baby on a bed of
straw. This simple Christmas story is delivered once again with
the power to amaze us with its mercy and fill us with a joy
beyond words.
Beginning with the energetic "Overture," Unspeakable
Joy incorporates the works of many gifted songwriters
such as Bill and Gloria Gaither and others. Its diversity
includes upbeat songs such as "Come and See What's Happenin',"
special moments during songs like "The Greatest Story Ever
Told," and tender manger scenes accompanied by ballads like
"When Heaven Kissed Earth," "Jesus, Child of Heaven (Mary's
Lullaby)," and "Come Make a Place in Me." But it is the theme of
Unspeakable Joy, so powerfully revealed
that will make this musical a treasured Christmas favorite.
Unspeakable Joy is the joy of knowing the One who was
born at Christmas--and the joy of each believer discovering the
love of Jesus Christ for themselves.
