Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating. I hope your holiday is a joyful one however you are spending it. Enjoy!

Many thanks for being here for this festive music series. And now for our final song.

As a singer based in Christian country, I expected Amy Grant’s version of today’s tune to be a big production complete with a choir backing her up. That is not really a sound I enjoy but since the song is on an her 2016 album called Tennessee Christmas, I was curious to see-rather, hear-if her version had a different spin. And it does. It is a stripped down, slowed down arrangement to a slow soft vocal that proves how less can be so much more. It is absolutely lovely.
