During the Christmas season most people can agree on music they love, whether they are Christians or not. While the world continues to sing Christmas carols, many Christian musicians are still writing songs that tell the story of Christmas in a fresh new way. This is not a list of Christmas carols. Rather, this is a list of contemporary Christian worship songs that follow the theme of Christmas.

While we try desperately to forget about the bedazzled jeans and airbrushed tees of the early 2000s, the music throughout the decade should never be forgotten. Here are some of the most popular worship songs that defined the 2000s.

God has given us many gifts, and although He calls us to serve others and lay our lives down to partner with Him in seeing the reality of Heaven established here on Earth, we are also supposed to enjoy the journey!  Our jobs, our families, our health, our church community: these are just some of the gifts God has given us. Whilst worshipping Him with them, we can enjoy, have fun and find happiness from them too! Doing so is an expression of faith that He is who He says He is, our loving Father.
