Le’Andria is a living testimony of faith. Prior to being crowned Sunday Best, Le’Andria auditioned for the gospel competition a day before she lost her home in foreclosure. Deciding to let nothing stand in her way, the then Sunday Best hopeful traveled to New Orleans and auditioned in flip flops and gym socks, she was almost eliminated because she did not look the part, according to show judge Erica Campbell [Mary Mary]. After her rendition of “This Is the Day the Lord Hath Made,” she was on her way to fulfilling her life-long dream of a career in music.
Signed to Music World Gospel in a joint venture with BET with the Sunday Best brand, Le’Andria released her debut project, The Awakening of Le’Andria Johnson on September 6, 2011. Le’Andria’s new single, “Jesus” is produced by GRAMMY® Award winner Chuck Harmony (Rihanna, Fantasia, Chrisette Michele). “Jesus” is an urban contemporary song, with traditional gospel roots. In it, Le’Andria offers a soulful and stirring testimony about the difference Jesus has made in her life, and she makes an impassioned plea to the listener to turn to Jesus and “call Him like you want Him, call Him like you need him.” The song is a showcase for Le’Andria’s unique combination of power, skill and reverence, which made her a favorite of Sunday Best fans. Le’Andria loves the single and its message, and she believes her fans will be blessed by it. She is excited about all the songs on the CD and can’t wait to perform them for audiences around the world. She hopes that her songs will make a difference in people’s lives.
Le’Andria is an accomplished songwriter, producer and praise and worship leader at her hometown church, HQ Ministries in Altamonte Springs, Florida. A self-taught musician, she began singing at the age of two. She continues her commitment to the music ministry of her hometown church.
“We can’t just reach in the circle, we have to do like the Bible says—go out and compel them to come in,” she says. A licensed minister, Le’Andria believes that singing is her God-given talent, but that ministry is her calling. As the season three winner on Sunday Best, she now has the platform to touch countless lives by doing both.
Le’Andria currently resides in Orlando, Florida and is a single mother of three children.

Le'Andria Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
The lyrics to Le'Andria Johnson's song "Noel" are a beautiful rendition of the traditional Christmas carol, "The First Noel." The song tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ through the eyes of the shepherds and the wise men. The first verse describes how the angels appeared to the shepherds and proclaimed the news of the birth of the King of Israel. The second verse describes how the shepherds followed the star to find the baby Jesus. The third verse tells of the wise men who also followed the star to bring gifts to the baby. The final verse encourages all listeners to join together in singing praises to the Lord who has brought salvation to mankind.
The song is a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and the miracle that occurred on that holy night. The repetition of the word "Noel" throughout the song serves as a joyful exclamation of the good news that the King of Israel has been born. Le'Andria Johnson's soulful and powerful voice adds depth and emotional resonance to the already beautiful lyrics.
Overall, "Noel" is a rich and moving interpretation of a beloved Christmas carol. Its message of hope and salvation is just as relevant today as it was over 2,000 years ago.

The First Noel, the Angels did say
The announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ was made by the Angels
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
The announcement was made to poor shepherds who were resting in the fields
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
The shepherds were resting in the same fields where they were taking care of their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
The night on which the announcement was made was very cold and dark
They looked up and saw a star
The shepherds saw a bright shining star
Shining in the East beyond them far
The star was shining in the Eastern sky far from where they were
And to the earth it gave great light
The star gave great light to the earth
And so it continued both day and night.
The star continued to shine both day and night
And by the light of that same star
The Wise Men came from a faraway country following the same star
Three Wise men came from country far
Three Wise Men came from a faraway country
To seek for a King was their intent
Their intention was to find the King who was born
And to follow the star wherever it went.
They followed the star until it stopped over the place where Jesus was born
This star drew nigh to the northwest
The Wise Men followed the star in the northwest direction
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
The star stopped over Bethlehem and rested there
And there it did both Pause and stay
The star paused and remained still over the place where Jesus was born
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
The star was directly over the place where Jesus was born
Then entered in those Wise men three
The three Wise Men entered the place where Jesus was born
Full reverently upon their knee
They kneeled respectfully before Jesus
And offered there in His presence
They presented their gifts to Jesus in person
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
They offered gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense to Jesus
Then let us all with one accord
We should all join together in harmony
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
We should sing praises to our Lord in heaven
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Jesus Christ bought mankind with his own blood
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noel means Christmas, and the repetition emphasizes the joyous occasion
Born is the King of Israel!
Jesus Christ, the King of Israel, was born on this day
