The fearless sense of invention that Chris Tomlin brings to CCM and contemporary praise & worship spills over into his cherished Christmas recordings. Albums like Adore: Christmas Songs of Worship and its 2021 companion piece, Emmanuel: Christmas Songs of Worship, are star-studded events packed with sing-along classics and modern-day originals that balance pop-rock energy with a deep respect for holiday tradition. And let’s face it: Only Tomlin could pen a tune as endearing as “Miracle of Love,” a heartfelt celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ that also unleashes some of the most upbeat hooks this side of Sir Elton John.
