Over the years, I’m not sure how many Christmas cantatas i have participated in, but there have been a bunch! I love Christmas cantatas. I especially love that moment when we come to a song in a cantata that gives me goosebumps.
I heard one of those songs on the radio this morning. The music started and I knew it sounded familiar, but I couldn’t remember from where. Then came the words….”she wrapped her tiny baby”……and I remembered one of my favorite songs……”Heaven’s Child”.
I can’t remember what year we sang that, or even the name of the Cantata, but I do remember the song…..”this is Heaven’s child, this is Heaven’s child, in a lowly manger, wrapped in glory meek and mild. Joseph wept in wonder as Mary sweetly smiled because they knew, this was Heaven’s child.”
Cool song!
And of course Joyce Martin was singing it, and that guarantees a few goose bumps!
