Mandisa - Beautiful Son

미국 음악 산업에서 빼 놓을 수 없는 'Motown'의 가스펠 레이블 Motown Gospel의 크리스마스 앨범입니다. 

Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Brian Courtney Wilson, Lexi 등 Motown Gospel 소속 아티스트와 Motown 소속은 아니지만 Mandisa, Danny Gokey 등 형제 관계의 레이블에 소속된 이들이 참여해 주었습니다.

여러 아티스트가 참여하는 음반으로는 비교적 적은 9곡을 수록하고 있는데요, 잘 알려진 크리스마스 캐롤 들을 중심으로 가스펠 아티스트 특유의 리듬과 풍부한 소울감 넘치는 톤으로 새롭게 불러 주었습니다. 

'Beautiful Son'은 여성 아티스트 Joann Rosario의 2007년 앨범 [Joyous Salvation] 수록 곡을 다시 부른 노래입니다.

If I had a baby boy Would I give Him away To save the lives of people Who might not even care ; Lord I know Your love is greater Than mine could ever be Thank You for the sacrifice You made at Calvary

Oh Your Son, Your beautiful Son He’s my Savior my Redeemer Your Son, Your beautiful Son Gave His life to set me free ; There are no words that can express What has happened in my heart Because of Your Son Your beautiful Son

Now it’s my responsibility To tell this dying world There’s only one way to the Father Through Jesus Christ the Son ; Oh I know a day is coming When I’ll see Him face to face I will bow and sing Holy To His amazing grace

Oh Your Son, Your beautiful Son He’s my Savior my Redeemer Your Son, Your beautiful Son Gave His life to set me free ; There are no words that can express What has happened in my heart Because of Your Son Your beautiful 

Son of God be enthroned on our praise Be exalted We love You forever

Oh, Son beautiful Son Your my Savior, my Redeemer Oh, Son beautiful Son You gave your life to set me free ; I’m finally free You gave Your life for me Oh yeah I’m finally free I’m finally free Because of Your Son Your beautiful Son ... Your beautiful Son Thank You Jesus
