Southern Gospel Quartet Liberty Releases "Christmas of Hope"

Just in time for the season, Southern Gospel quartet Liberty has released their brand new festive record "Christmas of Hope."  Featuring 12 newly recorded songs, the project is helmed by veteran producer Phil Cross. 

One of the songs on the album "What Christmas Really Means" is already becoming a fan favorite.  And if you take a look at the words, you'll understand why.

Verse 1

We're invited to the sacred manger

Where Glory sleeps upon the hay

To bow in wonder at the mystery

Of all that is fullfilled this day

Oh hallelujah, where there was darkness

Now Heaven's light has intervened

A child is born and we watch breathless

To see what Christmas really means

Verse 2

We're invited to relive the journey

From Bethlehem to Calvary

The Lamb will lead us to the hillside

Where every willing soul is freed

Oh hallelujah, he dies to save us

And we fall silent at the scene

Oh pierce our hearts to feel the sorrow

Thsi is what Christmas really means

Verse 3

We're invited to the tomb now empty

For dawn has come and hope is here

And sin is swallowed up in victory

Now there is nothing left to fear

Oh hallelujah, Jesus has risen

Come sing the song of the redeemed

As we proclaim to men and angels

Behold what Christmas really means

Oh hallelujah, we'll shout forever

Love's final chapter is complete

And he will reign and we will worship

Oh hallelujah to the King

Oh hallelujah to the King

Oh hallelujah to the King
