Christmas in July

Amy Grant & Michael W. Smith – Gloria

Christmas Day is the joyful culmination of the story we have celebrated throughout this month—the day we rejoice that God fulfilled His promise by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world as our Savior. In this inspiring performance of “Gloria,” Christian music legends Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith join together to proclaim the angelic song of praise that first echoed over the fields of Bethlehem: “Glory to God in the highest!” Introduced by Reba McEntire as “the most successful female and male Christian singers of all time,” Amy and Michael have faithfully influenced generations of believers through music that consistently points hearts to Christ. Their powerful rendition of this timeless Christmas anthem is a fitting finale to our celebration, reminding us that the glory announced on that first Christmas still belongs to Jesus today.

As we conclude Christmas in July 2026, thank you for joining us throughout this special month of daily Christmas reflections. We hope these songs have reminded you that the hope, peace, joy, and love of Christmas are not confined to a single season but are ours to celebrate every day of the year because of Jesus Christ. From all of us at FishWorship, thank you for celebrating the birth of our Savior with us—and may the message of Christmas continue to fill your heart all year long. Merry Christmas… in July!
