Originally written for a Christmas production, The New World Has Come found its way into Graham’s Salvation Songs collection because of its powerful focus on the heart of the gospel story. Though written years earlier, its message remains timeless.

The song seeks to draw back the veil and ask the staggering question: Can this really be true? That the Maker of all things is lying in a manger? That the ageless and changeless One would gasp His first breath and cry as newborn babies do?

It’s a scene almost too extraordinary to grasp, and yet one Graham has come to believe with all his heart is true.

The incarnation of Christ – God stepping into our world – marked the beginning of transformation for all creation. And His resurrection is the promise that the whole cosmos will one day be renewed.

The New World Has Come is not just a Christmas song. It’s a declaration of hope breaking into history. If that isn’t hope, Graham says, he doesn’t know what is.
