Sara considers Joy Of Every Longing Heart a bookend to O Holy Night. While her first Christmas project encompassed songs about Jesus’ birth, she now wants to share a new collection, a mix of both traditional and original songs, to showcase those who were directly part of the Nativity story – the angels, the wise men, the shepherds – all who were witnesses of Jesus’ birth.
“I think this story bears an infinite number of retellings, and I find myself revisiting it each year at Advent,” she shares. “It’s comparable to turning a gem and seeing new facets. It is shrouded in tradition and years of baggage in some cases, but at the root, it is God with us. That’s pretty compelling.”
“I know I have had experiences and moments of belief that were transcendent, but now I carry that witness, and I’m not always sure what to make of it,” she elaborates. “I picture this very human person in this moment witnessing something incredible, and then going on to tell his family, friends, and live the rest of his life. Like him, each of us has our own way of engaging with this story; we have our own testimony to how it changed us.”
