The Day That Love Was Born

Video of an "unplugged" practice session ~ "The Day that Love Was Born"


It's the most wonderful time of the year! Here at the Campbell home, we've not only been busy decking the halls, we've also been hard at work rehearsing for several upcoming Christmas performances. Russ has added a new arrangement to our Christmas repertoire, a beautiful song titled "The Day that Love Was Born" by Christian artist Dara Maclean.

We had the privilege of seeing Dara perform live at World Pulse Festival this past summer, and the girls even got to meet her, get her autograph and have a photo taken with her. They were impressed with how friendly and personable she is!

The lyrics to this soulful song offer a poignant description of the day Jesus burst into the darkness of our world to offer us His light.

He took on our skin so he would forever know what it felt like to be dust.

"As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust." Psalm 103:13-14

He remembers us.

The day that love was born
It changed everything
And Jesus the Son, 
The Almighty One
Sent here to redeem.
He came to save, 
Not just to give his life away
You made a way, everything changed
On that glorious day...
The day that love was born.  

This Christmas, let's find joy in this simple fact: He remembers us. He has come to bring us love and light. He has made a way. Hallelujah!
