Brinson feat. Daniel Mega - "You Are My Gift" Released on November 22, Godchaserz's Brinson brings the holiday song of the season with "You Are My Gift." The true meaning of Christmas comes alive in this joyful new single from Brinson — reminding the world that the greatest gift didn’t come wrapped under a tree… He came to save us. “I know people light trees, but You gave Yourself on one. Cross was the gift when the work was done,” exclaimed by Brinson.
Easily one of the most ambitious Christmas visuals in CHH this year, "You Are My Gift" is something that you are going to want to see! Brinson’s new animated short carries a message this season truly needs. With stunning, Pixar-inspired animation from Turning Red/Elemental Style, Brinson and Daniel Mega perform with heart, joy, and purpose. The short includes a touching “beyond Christmas” scene of delivering toys to kids and a Christ-centered reminder of the real Gift. The single is uplifting, emotional, and anchored in Jesus from start to finish. Stream "You Are My Gift" on Spotify and Apple Music.
