Clay Aiken – Good News
By
During 2004 and 2005, Clay Aiken toured throughout the United States during the holiday season. Called The Joyful Noise Tours, Clay presented a program that was filled with joy and was a beautiful way to celebrate the holidays.
One of the most breathtaking moments of the concert was actually the encore. Good News is a dramatic song which conveys the true meaning of Christmas. The song was originally performed by the Christian Group, Avalon. Clay’s performance of the song was exquisite and brought many people to tears.
Good news / Good news
An angel brings Good news
Good news / Good news
I leave you with Good news
Close your eyes / Fold your hands
For a moment let your sorrow fade
Why, oh, why are you afraid
Has this world stripped you of your faith
Close your eyes and on bended knee
Listen to an angel pray
And once again prepare the way
So you’ll see a gift that’s given
For you a time of joy/ Behold a baby boy
Good news / Good news
An angel brings Good news
Good news / Good news
I leave you with Good news
Bow your head / Speak not a word
Let the silence take you far from here
The spirit of a child dry every tear
And may your doubts they disappear
Bow your head and on bended knee
Hear the story once again
The child grew up to wear a cross
A child grew up to pledge a life
For us a time of joy / Behold, Christ a baby boy
Good news / Good news
An angel brings Good news
Good news / Good news
I leave you with Good news
For us His only Son
In a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes
Christ the Savior, Christmas day
All our burdens washed away
We break the bread
We pour the wine
And angels descend with a heavenly sigh
Good news / Good news
An angel brings Good news
Good news / Good news
I leave you with…
I leave you with
Good news
The following video was recorded in Kansas City during the 2005 tour. I would imagine you will just have to watch it more than once. I certainly would love to see this song on Clay’s next Christmas album.

Such a beautiful song. I find myself mesmerized by it everytime I watch it. I saw it in person once in Melbourne, Fla. and you could hear a penny drop..everybody was so enthralled with it. I would love for him to put this song on a Christmas CD.
The Gospel in song, so beautiful, and the true meaning of Christmas as you said! Clay sings this with such conviction and delivers the message, in my opinion, better than anyone I've ever heard! Know there's more instore for him and us. I agree. Would love to hear him do this on another Christmas album. Thank you for sharing this!! I could listen to this all day!!
I think Good News is one of the most beautiful, reverent songs that Clay Aiken has sung at Christmas. Thank you for the stunning video.
I would love for Clay to record "Good News" for another Christmas CD. My husband also enjoys Clay's rendition of this song.
When Clay sings Good News it really shows me how deeply he feels about his faith.

Not only Clay's voice but his performance for Good News was awe inspiring.
the song is beautiful, the staging was beautiful. Clay Aiken did a magnificent job with Good News
Clay Aiken and Christmas music go together. Clay's rendition of each of the songs on his Christmas CD is wonderful. I would love it if he would record another Christmas CD and include "Good News" on it.
Good News brings tears to my eyes every time I play it. And I don't just play it at Christmas time.
