I listened to this for the first time yesterday, and I can surely say it is now my favorite Christmas song, overthrowing O Holy Night. Anything with a major IV to minor iv progression is an instant win. I wish worship music had more diverse progressions like this instead of the same 4 chords on repeat.
The key change that happens at 2:42 is SOOOO cool. I'm kinda nerding out about it... Transitions from the key of Bb to the key of F on the "C" chord. But when it goes make to Pre-Chorus 2, the CHORDS remain exactly the same as the previous pre-choruses, while the vocal melody shifts, telling the ear it's in a new key. Then it seamlessly modulates back to Bb at the chorus. Well done Matt Maher and Co.
Love came down to Bethlehem While the world was sleeping Love came down to make amends For all creation's weeping He that sang the stars to life He the word became a cry Rejoice, rejoice, Glory to God Hallelujah, Gloria King of heaven's high estate Child in lowly manger His the privilege to forsake To welcome in the stranger Born to heal the bonds of men Born that we be born again Rejoice, rejoice, Glory to God Hallelujah Heaven and nature singing together Glory to God, Hallelujah Gloria Gloria Born to heal the bonds of men Born that we be born again Rejoice, rejoice, Glory to God Hallelujah Heaven and nature singing together Glory to God, Hallelujah Heaven and nature singing together Glory to God, Hallelujah Heaven and nature, angels and shepherds Wisemen and beggars, praise to the Savior Forever and ever Gloria Gloria Gloria
This Christmas song is based on the birth of our savior Jesus Christ that he is coming to this world to save his Children from their sinful nature without looking back. So we can be more and more like him.
12/8 time signature, it goes like the Leonard Cohen song Hallelujah which is also 12/8 but sometimes published in 3/4. We’re playing this Sunday before Palm Sunday, any insight will be appreciated.
Blew me away. Just heard it on hallow app. ❤ "He, the word, became a cry." 🤯 ❤ My broken heart needed this song today. Thanks and God bless all.
Beautiful song, heavenly sound love came down to Bethlehem
"Born that we be born again." Thank you, Jesus.

Love came down to Bethlehem
While the world was sleeping
Love came down to make amends
For all creation's weeping
He that sang the stars to life
He the word became a cry
Rejoice, rejoice, Glory to God
Hallelujah, Gloria
King of heaven's high estate
Child in lowly manger
His the privilege to forsake
To welcome in the stranger
Born to heal the bonds of men
Born that we be born again
Rejoice, rejoice, Glory to God
Hallelujah
Heaven and nature singing together
Glory to God, Hallelujah
Gloria
Gloria
Born to heal the bonds of men
Born that we be born again
Rejoice, rejoice, Glory to God
Hallelujah
Heaven and nature singing together
Glory to God, Hallelujah
Heaven and nature singing together
Glory to God, Hallelujah
Heaven and nature, angels and shepherds
Wisemen and beggars, praise to the Savior
Forever and ever
Gloria
