Ryan Stevenson is getting into the Christmas spirit early. The GRAMMY-nominated, Dove Award-winning singer-songwriter has released a new holiday single, "December Sky," now available on all streaming platforms.
"December Sky" is a quiet, cozy song about gratitude and home. Stevenson sings about a low fire, shadows on the walls, frost on the window and little boots by the back door, and he asks how he could ever want more. In the pre-chorus, he says that every year he tells himself it's "just another night," until the sound of silver bells, or the laughter of someone he loves, makes his heart come alive.
The chorus gives the song its heart, with the line "Heaven's closer than we know" set inside a loving home. The bridge nods to "Silent Night," tying the family warmth to the Christmas story itself.
"December Sky" joins a growing list of Stevenson holiday songs. His 2017 single "This Christmas Eve" reached the Top 20 on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart, and he has followed it with "Home for Christmas," "Heart and Soul of Christmas" and "One Star." Stevenson won the 2017 Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for "Eye of the Storm" and co-wrote TobyMac's "Speak Life."
The song is available everywhere you listen to music.
