Far from a typical Christmas piece, this searching, insightful text illuminates the sacrifice that God already understood when He sent the baby Jesus to earth. Illustrating the emotions of the text, the music begins with the soft wonder we expect, moves to an aching and painful climax, and finally culminates in a restful and peaceful conclusion as we realize the magnitude of this innocent Child's birth.
