Editorial Reviews

This compilation of sacred Christmas songs performed by popular artists is a great companion piece to the film (in theaters December 1st), and the perfect soundtrack to your holiday season. "The Nativity Story" tells the tale of two common people - Mary and Joseph - a miraculous pregnancy, an arduous journey, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. Brought to life with an unprecedented attention to detail and commitment to historical accuracy, this film tells how, from humble beginnings, great things can come.

5.0 out of 5 stars SACRED SONGS INDEED, A SOUNDTRACK FOR THE WHOLE WORLD, December 12, 2006

I BOUGHT THIS SOUNDTRACK BEFORE I EVEN SAW THE MOVIE, AND FROM THE OPENING TRACK IT WAS SO MOVING. JACI VELASQUEZ HAS A VOICE THAT WILL SEND CHILLS UP AND DOWN YOUR SPINE. "BREATH OF HEAVEN" BY AMY GRANT, A SONG ON ONE OF HER PREVIOUS CHRISTMAS ALBUMS, IS A PERSONAL AND EMOTIONAL SONG FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MARY, ALTHOUGH ANY REAL MOTHER CAN SOME WHAT RELATE TO. ALL OF THE SONGS ARE AMAZING. POINT OF GRACE'S "FOR UNTO US" IS ANOTHER REAL HIGHLIGHT ON THE ALBUM, IN ADDITION TO "LABOR OF LOVE". JUST LISTEN FOR YOURSELF, CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE FOR MARY AND JOSEPH TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS. WE ARE NOT THANKFUL ENOUGH, AND WE TAKE OUR LIVES FOR GRANTED. TRUST ME, NO CHRISTMAS MUSIC COLLECTION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS ALBUM, AND THE SCORE AS WELL. THESE SONGS ARE CHRISTMAS ORIENTED, BUT CAN BE ENJOYED YEAR ROUND. THESE SONGS INSPIRED BY THIS WONDERFUL STORY TRUELY ARE SACRED AND WELL CRAFTED. THE VOCALS ARE DONE RESPECTFULLY AND INSTRUMENTALY IT'S HAUNTING, MOVING, PEACEFUL, AND TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY. IT REALLY SETS A MOOD. THE MEANING THAT IS BUILT INTO THESE SONGS REALLY TRANSCENDS HIGHER THAN YOUR AVERAGE CHRISTMAS CD ABOUT RUDOLPH, SANTA, AND A BUNCH OF SNOW. THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS WILL COME BACK, AND IT ALREADY IS. THE WORLD NEEDS THIS MOVIE, AND WE ALL NEED TO GET ON OUR KNEES AND THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE DID FOR US. BUY THIS SOUNDTRACK AND SUPPORT THIS MOVIE THAT DOES NOTHING BUY SPREAD A POSITIVE MESSAGE AND MEANING.

While the whole CD is wonderful, the song, "The Virgin's Lullaby" is worth the price of the CD. I've listened to it over and over and it's not even Christmas!
