Humble People, Humble Christ
Humble People, Humble Christ
Christianity is going through a time of shaking. There seems to be a new headline every week of some or other individual or organization falling apart. This song paints a picture of a faith-community-posture that brings hope - “a humble people engaging with a humble Christ” - summed up beautifully by the Christmas story. Therefore, the production and our submission of the song as Christmas worship song.
