Track 1 | Psalm 72

unwrapped Hope




Traditionally attributed to Solomon.

Some scholars believe it was written for Solomon or about his reign, but it is clearly linked to the Davidic monarchy.

Around 970–930 BC, early in Solomon’s reign.

Psalm 72 is a royal psalm — a prayer for Israel’s king. It describes an ideal ruler marked by justice, righteousness, compassion, and global blessing. No human king ever fulfilled this completely, which points forward to Jesus.

A highly poetic prayer for the king’s reign, filled with imagery of flourishing land, deliverance for the needy, and worldwide dominion.

Psalm 72 points to Jesus as the true King:

  • The one who defends the oppressed
  • The one who brings justice
  • The one whose reign brings flourishing that lasts “as long as the sun”

Every hope in Psalm 72 finds its fulfillment in Christ.

Track 2 | Psalm 110

unwrapped Promise




Written by David.

Around 1000 BC, during David’s kingship.

Psalm 110 is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament. David is given a prophetic glimpse into heaven, overhearing a divine exchange between God the Father and God the Son. It reveals a Messiah who is:

  • Enthroned at the right hand of God
  • Victorious over His enemies
  • Both King and Priest (a shocking combination for ancient Israel)

A messianic royal psalm structured around two divine oracles:

  • Verses 1–3: The Messiah as King
  • Verses 4–7: The Messiah as Eternal Priest (after the order of Melchizedek)

Psalm 110 Explains:

  • Jesus’ ultimate authority
  • Jesus’ cosmic victory
  • Jesus’ priestly intercession
  • Jesus giving us access to God

This psalm reminds us that Christmas is not just about the cradle — it is about the eternal King-Priest who reigns forever.

Track 3 | Luke 1:46–55

The King Is Here




Luke, the physician and historian. The passage contains Mary’s song (The Magnificat).

Around 4–6 BC, shortly after Mary learns she will carry Jesus.

Mary — a humble, poor teenage girl — receives the announcement that she will bear the Son of God. Her song echoes Israel’s Scriptures, especially the Psalms and Hannah’s prayer (1 Samuel 2). It celebrates God’s mercy, justice, and covenant faithfulness.

A poem in Hebrew style, full of parallelism and rich imagery. God is the subject of nearly every verb, highlighting His initiative in salvation.

Mary’s Magnificat teaches that:

  • God lifts the humble
  • God brings down the proud
  • God feeds the hungry
  • God keeps His promises

Her song reveals the heart of Advent — God steps into the world to rescue the lowly through Jesus.
