The Pitch

I am thrilled to present my new Christmas song, Hey! A Child Is Born!, that was inspired by the beloved story, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”. This song is an upbeat, joyous Christmas song about the journey to the stage for the yearly pageant. From the initial apprehension to the unpolished beauty that was observed under candle light that powerful night. Since this song is about a kids pageant, I found it fitting to include kid voices on the track.

I also wrote a second song called, "Don't Offend the Room". I wanted to have a song that zoomed in on the lives of these troubled kids, as well as the closed hearts of the town that so readily discarded them. This song ends with the words of Jesus, “Come to Me.” Jesus came for all. While this song was written about a specific story, the truths found within its lyrics will resonate with people in all walks of life.

I have read this book every year since I was a little kid, and this last Christmas I was able to read it to my kids - who are still gravely concerned for the Herdmans.

It was an absolute joy to live in the pages of this beloved book while writing these songs and I hope that they are a blessing to you.
