Relient K: "I Celebrate the Day" Song Lyrics and Video

This original song, one of the more low-key on a generally high-energy album, can take its unashamed place beside all the spiritual Christmas carols as it celebrates the day of the birth of the Savior, blending beautifully with the theme of a modern devotional song.

This new Christmas hymn appears on the best new Christmas album in years, Let It Snow Baby ... Let It Reindeer, Relient K has lots of old favorites - rocked out in a way no one would ever have dreamed of doing before now! - and a few originals that are sure to become instant favorites. From punk-pop to hard rock to slow and dreamy to downright silly, there is something on this album for everyone, and they are all well worth listening to!

"I Celebrate the Day"

A beautiful new Christmas carol that is a spiritual hymn to the birth of Jesus.

And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say
To let You know how much You've touched my life, because ...

Here is where You're finding me
In the exact same place as New Year's Eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We're less than half as close as I want to be

And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever
And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever

And so this Christmas I'll compare
The things I felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That You have come to meet me here
[musical bridge]

To look back and think that
This Baby would one day save me
In the hope that what You did
That you were born so I might really live
To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me

And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever
And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever

And I, I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day pray for You to save my life
Pray for You to save my life
Pray for You to save my life

It was the cruelest of times. Under Herod's torturous reign, families struggled to survive and yet, in the midst of utter turmoil, a young woman's faith is put to the test. Join Mary (Keisha Castle-Hughes) and Joseph (Oscar Isaac) on an incredible journey of hope and discovery. Epic in its scope, yet intimate in it's portrayal of this historical family, this "wonderful film" (Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun Times) is "a family feature that will be cherished for years to come!" (Greg Russell, WMYD-TV, Detroit).

Merry Christmas from Relient K!

The punnily-titled Let It Snow Baby ... Let It Reindeer has much to offer fans of the band as well as listeners in search of an untraditional approach to Christmas music. Much of the material here was already released as their first holiday outing, 2003's Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand. Those ten tunes were a fun, indie spin on yuletide tunes by the feisty new kings of Christian pop-punk. Appended to those, we now have seven more songs recorded in 2007. In the intervening four years, the band's signed to Capitol Records and their sound is far more produced and polished. It's also clearly better, but what the group lacked for in talent early on, they made up for in spirit. The newer songs are all solid, and they really highlight how far Matt Thiessen has come as a frontman. The walking bass line to their version of "Sleigh Ride" might sound uninspired, but the tightly-wound Beach Boys-ish harmonies and explosive guitars more than make up for that. --Mike McGonigal
