Kanye West and his Sunday Service released a new, 19-track gospel album titled Jesus Is Born on Christmas Day, Wednesday, the Daily Mail reports.

The record marks the first release the 42-year-old musical artist has made with his Sunday Service troupe of singers and musicians he has toured the country with over the past year, delivering unique religious performances and sermons in locales including Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago.

The Grammy-winner released the record through the independent New Jersey label Vydia.

Among the tracks on the record include: Count Your Blessings, Excellent, Balm in Gilead, Ultralight Beam, Weak and That's How the Good Lord Works.

West in October put out his first offering in the gospel genre with the album Jesus Is King, in addition to an accompanying IMAX film. 

Jesus Is King has been a commercial success, garnering the top spot on the Billboard 200, giving the innovator his ninth album in a row to hit number one on the chart, a record he shares with Eminem.

West on Thanksgiving released a video for one of the songs off Jesus Is King, Closed on Sunday.
