This music video combines the original piano melody “Shepherds and Stars” inspired by Luke 2:8-15 from the award-winning album December Peace, with an amazing chalk drawing portrayal of the Christmas story. The soundtrack also features vocals and flugel horn to represent the angels and the shepherds. I hope this adds some “December Peace” to your season, and wish you a peaceful and joyful Christmas! — Stanton
Luke 2:8-15 (NIV)
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
