Unlikely Christmas song

This comes from a musical that was recorded in 1996 entitled: “Emmanuel: A Musical Celebration of the Life of Christ.” I remember this was also around the time when contemporary Christian artists were also updating Handel’s “Messiah”, as the “New Young Messiah” tour in the mid-90s. Each of these musicals is rich in scripture and beautiful music.

There is something about the minor key of this song, how it builds and finally resolves that captured my ears. The lyrics, from Isaiah 53, are what captured my heart. I listened to the CD again this week, and wanted to share this with you.
