Joel Caws Releases Uplifting Christmas Song, 'He Is Born'
UK based songwriter Joel Caws releases his first Christmas song 'He is Born', an uplifting song telling the story of the first Christmas.
Joel has been releasing music for over 5 years and this was his first ever song release written especially for the Christmas season originally released for Christmas 2023.
Joel comments "I love that this song is so different from my usual congregational worship style songs as it tells more of a story - the story of that very first Christmas!"
Of his wish for others to engage with the new song release, Joel says "This song really turned out to be more like painting a picture than writing a song. My desire is that those that listen will be transported into the scene of that very first Christmas in that stable in Bethlehem; to capture that pivotal moment in history when God stepped into the world in the person of Jesus Christ."
Joel reminisces about the challenges behind writing the song: "I had been keen to release a Christmas song for several years so I made it my mission to write a Christmas themed song for the festive period in 2023. I settled on the Christmas story as a theme quite quickly and initially thought this would turn out to be a worship style song much like my other releases. As my producer worked on this song we hit on the idea of using more acoustic instruments rather than electric. The result was a beautiful symphony of horns and strings that accompany the story, with subtle percussion and bells to give that Christmas feel."
Joel Caws is a worship leader & songwriter based in Southampton, UK who is passionate about creating songs that encourage, bless, & restore others.
