    Our God came to us as someone poor, oppressed, and outcast. Let us always remember that our God is the God of the poor. What a gorgeous piece

      And remember that we are all poor. None of us have any call on His mercy except by His notice of us.

    MYSTERIOUSLY ASTONISHING theme and HAUNTINGLY CAPTIVATING lyrics complemented in melodic progressions and visual scenes. Closed captions were necessarily beneficial for hearing impaired. Thank you.

    Dan, when I first heard this, I wept. I will cry through it when we sing it. Thank you for wrapping your music around this outstanding poem. What a wonderful combination.

    Beautiful. Melancolic.

    Dan Forrest never ceases to amaze me. This is more than beautiful and I will certainly do my part as the choir I'm in performs this piece at Christmas.

    Absolutely stunning, as usual to expect from Dan. Now arrange it for real church quires that have 5 sopranos, 3 altos, 2 female tenors and a deaf male tenor and one male bass that sounds like a cross between a foghorn and a trombone filled with cold coffee. #thestruggleisreal 🎉😛

      I write some pieces to work for small/limited choirs, and I write other pieces to give them something to aspire toward. :)

    Let the stable still astonish
    Straw dirt floor, of donkeys, oxen
    Crumbling crokked walls
    No bed to carry that pain
    And then, the child
    Rag-wrapped, laid to cry in the trough
    let the stable still astonish
    Straw dirt floor, dull eyes
    Dusty flanks of donkeys, oxen
    Crumbling crooked walls
    No bed to carry that pain
    And then, the child
    Rag-wrapped, laid to cry in a trough
    Who would have chosen this?
    Who would have said
    'Yes, let
    And earth be born here, in this place
    Who would
    'Yes, let the God of all the heavens
    And earth
    In this place,"?
    Who but the same God who stands
    In the darker, fouler rooms of our hearts
    And says
    'Yes, let the God
    And earth be born here,
    'Yes, let the God of all the heavens and earth be born here, in this place
    Let the same God
    Be born here in this place
