Episode 9 - Joy to the World
We've made it to the end of our Christmas Journey for this season of Comfort and Joy! And what better song to end with than "Joy to the World! The Lord Is Come"?
But what if I told you this carol really had NOTHING to do with Christmas?
What if I told you, it's melody was STOLEN from a great composer?
Let's take a deep dive into one of the most famous Christmas Carols of all time!
