The song was in this case driven by the lyrics. I got a rough tune pretty quicky and then worked only on the words. Here are the lyrics -

In a manger in a dirty stall
lay a baby sent to save us all
as a young girl responds to the call
to bear the Son of God

In the heavens rose a new born light
so the wise men followed in the night
and the angels sang with all their might
Hosanna Christ is born

Hosanna Christ is born!
Hosanna to the newborn king
Hosanna Christ is born, is born, is born

And the shepherds caring for their sheep
are awakened from a nearing sleep
as the angels voices calling from the deep, cry out
Hosanna Christ is born, is born, is born!

Hosanna Christ is born!
Hosanna to the newborn king
Hosanna Christ is born, is born, is born

In a manger in a dirty stall
lay a baby sent to save us all
as a young girl responds to the call
to bear the Son of God

Hosanna Christ is born!
Hosanna to the newborn king
Hosanna Christ is born, is born, is born

I was was taken by the thought of Mary initially hearing of the news that she would become a mom to God. The other players in this drama were also clueless as to what it really meant.This recording was the intial recording, full of mistakes, to capture the tune as it was at its inception.I here followed the rules I have stated here often. I got it down. It was recorded so that I could later edit and improve. (It is better now.)I can post it again once it has the interpretation of a band.You can also leave a voice message at the site kempruffner.podomatic.com site(look to the right for more info.)Please also place your pin on our Frappr map so we know where you are. Thanks for staying sunbscribed and pass on the info to friends who may be interested in the process of songwriting, or maybe just in the tunes on the podcast (that is also allowed!)
