Who would have thought that someone would write a song of Jesus' genealogy based on Matthew 1:1-16? Well, Andrew Peterson did. He makes all those 'begats' in the first chapter of Matthew fun to listen. This beautiful song is from his album titled Behold The Lamb Of God a collection of songs about Jesus. It's the Christmas story told from an entirely different perspective. This song shows how Abraham's long list of lineage lead directly to the most important person in the Bible, Jesus Christ. It bridges the Old Testament and New Testament, showing Jesus' birth as part of God's plan from the very beginning.

In my opinion, it would be great if someone come up with a song based on Luke 3:23-38 which goes all the way back to Adam.
