Ellie Holcomb – Sounding Joy

Monday, 19 December 2022 by Brandon Kyle
Ellie Holcomb

As Christmas quickly approaches, the joy of the season sounds aloud through the halls of Celebration Radio. KAMB is looking forward to the new year and all that God has in store for us, but in these last few moments of 2022, we want to highlight an artist that will propel you, your kids, and your grandkids into 2023.

Ellie Holcomb

Ellie is a friendly familiar voice heard regularly on KAMB. Her solo debut, As Sure As The Sun (2014), landed her a Top 10 hit on Christian radio with “The Broken Beautiful” and a GMA Dove Award for “New Artist of the Year.” Since then, she has been hard at work. She has released three full-length albums of music and three children’s books with accompanying (EP) musical projects. Her latest release, Sounding Joy, became available on September 20th this year. (B&H Kids/B&H Publishing Group).

Sounding Joy, is a creative dive into the question; what does joy sound like? The reader travels through a beautiful Christmastime story full of life wonderfully illustrated by Laura Ramos. Christmas is celebrated in a way that only Ellie could do. She encourages each reader, young and old, to lift up their voice and repeat the sounding joy!

Sounding Joy

Ellie keeps a full writing, touring, and performance schedule, while being a wife to fellow musician, Drew Holcomb, and a mom to their three kids.  Ellie shared with The Christian Beat,

“My book and album (Sounding Joy) were inspired by the song ‘Joy to the World,’ and it’s an invitation to sing about the hope we have because God put skin on and moved into the neighborhood,”

Ellie Holcomb

She is full of energy and successfully imparts that same energy into this song that will get you dancing through your kitchen as you prepare the Christmas goods and keep you singing long after the dirty dishes are clean and put away in the cupboard.

Lyrics

“Sounding Joy” Written by Nathan Dugger and Ellie Holcomb

What does joy sound like? 
Is it quiet like snow? 
Does joy sound like the laughter of friends that you know? 
Is joy like the sound of a kiss on your cheek 
Or like holding your breath when you play hide and seek?
Maybe joy sounds real loud like a” Hip Hip Hooray!” 
Or a whispered “I love you” at the end of the day? 
Well, joy sounds a little like all of these things, 
But a long time ago joy sounded like wings
Sounding joy, joy, joy!
If you can imagine, on a dark winter’s night, 
The sky filled with angels all shining with light 
And suddenly the shepherds and sheep down below 
Were surrounded by songs from that heavenly host
Glad tidings! Great Joy! 
We are never alone 
God sent His Son to make heaven our home 
So, every Christmas, each girl, and each boy 
Could lift up their voice and repeat SOUNDING JOY
Sounding joy, joy, joy! 
Sounding joy, joy, joy!
So, every Christmas, we string up the lights 
To remember the way that those angels shone bright 
And we sing all the songs, and we bang all the drums 
To remember the day that God sent his Son
Glad tidings! Great Joy! 
We are never alone 
God sent His Son to make heaven our home 
So, every Christmas, each girl, and each boy 
Could lift their voice and repeat SOUNDING JOY
Sounding joy, joy, joy! 
Sounding joy, joy, joy! 
Sounding joy to the world, the Lord is come
