Peace is Here
Artist: Jars Of Clay
Album: Christmas Songs
Label: Nettwerk Records
Release Date: 2007
Old standards like Vaughn Monroe’s deep throated rendition
of “Let it Snow” or new offerings such as “Peace is Here” by Jars Of Clay top
my list of Christmas holiday favorites. “Peace is Here” stands out as a
Christmas song that both inspires and leaves the listener humbled. There is
something truthful of our times, hopeful in its message, and exalting of God
that grabs deep inside and will not let go. Here, something shines, something
humbles, something warms.
The key to a Christmas song’s becoming a seasonal favorite
is the memory it sparks for the listener. Whether the Christmas song portrays
praise, joy, or an everyday human emotion, if it freezes that moment of time
for you it will draw to the top of your memory when the Christmas holiday draws
near. I wish you the gift that a Christmas song’s memory will invoke a special
and wonderful meaing for you.
