Belonging Co. Brings Christmas Early With Double Single Releases “The Gift We Bring” & “The Joy / Joy To The World”
Belonging Co. Brings Christmas Early With Double Single Releases “The Gift We Bring” & “The Joy / Joy To The World.” Nashville’s Belonging Co. has kicked off the holiday season a little ahead of schedule, dropping two live-recorded songs captured during last year’s celebration at the storied Ryman Auditorium. Fans can now stream “The Gift We Bring”, featuring Andrew Holt, and a spirited rendition of “The Joy / Joy To The World” featuring David Dennis George.
The Christian music group said the recordings were born out of a night of celebration and worship at the iconic venue, where the congregation gathered to mark the birth of Jesus, and the band decided to press record on a couple of special moments. The live tracks aim to bottle the warmth and communal joy of that evening for listeners everywhere.
Captured in the ornate acoustics of the Ryman, both tracks highlight Belonging Co.’s signature blend of cinematic worship and intimate praise. “The Gift We Bring” carries a reflective, devotional tone anchored by Holt’s voice, while “The Joy / Joy To The World” turns a beloved carol into a jubilant, modern worship mashup that invites congregational singing.
These releases follow a growing tradition of churches and worship collectives documenting live services and seasonal performances to share with a global audience. For Belonging Co., recording at the Ryman — a venue known for its history and acoustic character — gives the songs a sense of place that translates through to transforms many souls.
Listeners can find both tracks now on major streaming platforms. For anyone who was there that night, the songs are a vivid souvenir. For newcomers, they’re an accessible way to feel the energy of a worship night in one of music’s most famous halls.
