Christmas began with worship. Not with packages or programs, but with a Baby in a manger and a song that filled the sky. Angels declared it. Shepherds ran toward it. And heaven invited the whole world to join in: glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth.
Worship at the Manger is a collection of kids Christmas songs written so children can do more than celebrate the season—they can worship the Savior. These songs are simple enough for young voices, and bring joy to any worship service while keeping Jesus at the center. Familiar carols sit beside fresh songs of praise so kids can sing the story and adore the King.
May these songs help your children run to the manger with joy, lift their voices with the angels, and discover that the greatest gift of Christmas is Jesus—worthy of all our praise.
