Check out this new music video by Anne Wilson, ‘The Manger.’ It will no doubt become your favorite new Christmas song!
“They're puttin' decorations up in front of my old church.
The shepherds and the wise men and the hay
There's Joseph and his Mary lookin' down at Heaven's birth.
And the angel's sayin', "Don't you be afraid.”
It makes me stop and think about how You showed up down here. In a humble bed made of nails and wood
You could have picked a palace, somethin' more fit for a King. But then the story wouldn't be as good.”
In this festive video filmed in a recording studio, Anne Wilson is surrounded by musicians, and sound engineers, and Josh Turner makes a guest appearance to sing with her. It brings such joy to see what happens behind the scenes when music artists like Anne and Josh are in their creative element. I absolutely love how this song turned out as they mixed Anne’s graceful voice with Josh’s deep, distinct velvet voice.
Anne has a deep love for Jesus, which is evident throughout all of her music. She is known for her hit song, ‘My Jesus’ which was the hit that started her musical career after a tragic accident took her brother’s life.
Anne believes in the power of worshiping God in order to heal. She never imagined becoming a singer. In fact, she had no idea it was her calling until the day she sang at her brother’s funeral. Thank God for her voice and her refreshing and deep love for Jesus. Her songs, her voice, and her testimony point each of us to the loving arms of our amazing God.
We hope you enjoy this beautiful, upbeat performance by Anne Wilson and Josh Turner. May it make your Christmas celebration extra merry and bright.
