Album Notes

Jesus, the Messiah, came...

...in the fullness of time...

The motion picture, The Star of Bethlehem, has pressed this truth into the thoughts and emotions of millions of viewers. Jesus of Nazareth joined us here at the perfect moment. In the fullness of time set by the Creator. With knife-edge timing so clean, even the stars above us declare it.

This CD is the Star motion picture soundtrack, re-mastered for contemplation without words. When a score captures a story, a new life springs up. The story leaps up into the music. As you listen now, let yourself be swept up in the story of your Savior's coming and His passion.
