Bennett's music is very much a expression of his life experiences from the point of view of his faith. From his difficulties to forget past hurts to his divorce to the discovery of 'small graces' that keep him rooted in the love of his Lord. Bennett has a wonderfully smooth voice and plays a simple but effective guitar.

Shepherds hear the angels' song
Glory to God for all He has done
A Savior for a fallen race
Messiah's finally come
A star shines from the eastern sky
To light this heavenly choir on high
Peace will come between God and men
Messiah's finally come
Nestled in a crib of hay
Now He's sleeping
The angels' song begins to fade
Now they're weeping
For even though He brings us life
This Child was born to die
Good tidings for the holidays
The world lifts up its voice to praise
The kindness of the Holy One
Messiah, He has come
For though we see Him small and frail
A newborn crying
The years will yield a Lamb of God
For our sins dying
For even though He brings us life
This Child was born to die
For even though he brings us life
This Child was born to die
The song "Born to Die" by Bob Bennet is a beautiful and powerful song about the birth of Jesus, the Savior of mankind. The lyrics expertly capture the significance of this event and the ultimate purpose of Jesus' birth: to die for our sins. The song begins with the shepherds hearing the song of the angels as they sing praises to God for sending a Savior for a fallen race. The lyrics express the joy and hope that the arrival of the Messiah brings to the world. The star shining from the eastern sky illuminates this heavenly choir, and peace finally comes between God and men.
The song then takes a somber turn as the angels' song begins to fade, and they start weeping because they know that even though Jesus brings life to mankind, he was born to die for them. The Child who is nestled in a crib made of hay will grow up to become the Lamb of God who will die on the cross to save us from our sins. Although it may be difficult to understand, the song reminds us that Jesus was born to die so that we could have eternal life.
The lyrics throughout the song emphasize the purpose of Jesus' birth and the significance of his sacrifice. The song's message is clear, and Bob Bennett's voice perfectly captures the emotion behind the lyrics. The song is a reminder of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us and the hope that his birth brings to the world.
