That Little Baby Is the King

This Christmas cantata celebrates the wonder of Christ’s birth through narration, Scripture, and song, moving from childhood memories of Christmas to the deeper truth of the incarnation. It reflects on Mary and Joseph holding the newborn Savior, the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy, the rejoicing of the wise men, shepherds, angels, and all creation, and the truth that the baby in the manger was born to redeem humanity through the cross. The cantata proclaims Jesus as Emmanuel, Messiah, Redeemer, Light of the World, and King of Kings, inviting listeners to look beyond the manger to Calvary and forward to Christ’s promised return, responding with worshipful praise: “Hallelujah.”
