Hope on a Hill

 

'Hope on a Hill' is the title of a Christmas song written by Archdeacon Barry.  It is freely available to stream, download and share.

Archdeacon Barry says,

"The inspiration for the song goes back to when I first became a Christian.  The local parish church were doing an outside nativity, and I was drawn to the Christian message of the hope of Christ's birth, and that planted a seed in me which led to me becoming a Christian.

In those days the shepherds were outsiders, no-hopers, second class citizens; and the fact that God chooses to herald the message of Christ's birth to such as these is amazing.  And today, so many people are without hope and are struggling; so many people feel on the edge, or on the outside.  This song is a modern take on the message to the shepherds.  I hope that it will resonate with people of faith, and also people who are searching and in need of hope."
