Summary

Jesus is the Savior of the world. Does that truth cause you to sing for joy? It is a simple but profound gospel truth that has widespread implications. We are joined by singer-songwriter, Sandra McCracken, and she explores the popular holiday song, “Joy to the World” with us. This is a song that has crossed the secular divide, but it is a song that points to the hope of Christ. The lyrics hold Advent themes as they call us to look back and remember what Christ has done and also look forward to what’s sure to come.
