One of Europe’s best-known Christian bands, Trinity releases its Christmas EP, Let Love Be The Gift and launches Christmas Tour: [ Ссылка ]
The six-song EP includes the title track that was co-written and produced with GRAMMY-nominated, multiple Dove Award-winning producer Ian Eskelin. Based on the prophecy in Isaiah: 9:2, the song is an epic-sounding EP-opener that combines Nashville’s Christian music influence with the famous Celtic Riverdance and hints from the box office hit musical drama The Greatest Showman.
“Baby Jesus, this mysterious child, becomes a shepherd-king,” reflects Trinity lead singer Elbert Smelt on the inspiration behind “Let Love Be The Gift.” “Through the centuries, He leads His people through glory and hardship from the Kingdom that he started back then, and is still shaping today. It is a joy to be a part of this worldwide movement of love, peace and forgiveness.”
Let love be the gift
We find under the tree
There’s a new life to live
A treasure to keep
Goodbye to old times
Goodbye to tears
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
(“Let Love Be The Gift” chorus)

LYRICS
In the land that is walking
In darkness and fear
A light is arising
Christmas time is near
The joy of all creation
The hope we’ve waited for
A baby in a manger
The king of kings is born
Rise and shine
Glory on high
So let love be the gift
We find under the tree
There’s a new life to live
A treasure to keep
Goodbye to old times
Goodbye to tears
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Merry Christmas and happy new year
Be on the lookout for Jesus
Search for the signs
The silent find their voices
The blind will find their sight
The smallest and oppressed
Are given succes
there is freedom for the captive
And the weary find rest
Whenever you meet
Someone broken and weak
Just call ‘m your brother
Care for one another
The mystery of it all is coming to life
Be still and realise
It’s right there before your eyes
The miracle of Christmas
Is still alive
The miracle of Christmas
Jesus is alive
