My Ultimate Christmas Playlist: Labor of Love

Posted on December 6, 2013 by Matt Todd

Andrew Peterson has an amazing way with words. In Labor of Love, which he wrote for Behold the Lamb of God, he beautifully takes the whole concept of a calm, serene, silent nativity and turns it upside down. Andrew Peterson reminds us that the birth of baby Jesus probably wasn’t as clean and calm as we like to depict in our pretty Nativity decorations.

There’s a whole lot more that I can say about this and how we view Jesus’ humanity. But that’s probably for a different post. For the time being, I’ll just let this song speak for itself.

This recording of Andrew Peterson’s Labor of Love is from Point of Grace. I think they do a fine job performing it. If, however, Andrew Peterson ever comes to your town with a performance of Behold the Lamb of God, drop everything and go. Trust me. It will be worth it.
