[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![Maybe a Baby - Songs of His Birth X 640x361](https://blog.discoverworship.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Maybe%20a%20Baby%20-%20Songs%20of%20His%20Birth%20X%20640x361.jpg?width=700&height=395&name=Maybe%20a%20Baby%20-%20Songs%20of%20His%20Birth%20X%20640x361.jpg) The world was waiting for a king. They expected power, a throne, and a name that would shake empires. What arrived instead was a baby—a small child, wrapped in cloth and laid in a manger. Just another birth on a crowded night in Bethlehem. But, Heaven knew better... This was the Word made flesh. The Ancient of Days entering time. The Creator choosing the most unexpected entrance possible so that no one would be beyond His reach. *Maybe a Baby: Songs of His Birth* is a collection of individual blended Christmas worship anthems that linger at that manger. Each piece stands on its own, ready for Advent, Christmas, or any worship service that proclaims the miracle of His birth. Together they hold the hush of classic carols and the freshness of contemporary worship—reverent one moment, joyful the next. Arranged for blended settings, these anthems work for choir, worship team, and congregation alike. Use them one at a time or gather several into a simple set. However you use them, they invite your church to stand and declare what that night revealed: This baby is the Son of God. This baby is God with us. This baby is our Savior. May these songs help your church prepare Him room!
