A Manger So Far from Home—
Patricia Mock/arr. Faye Lopez. Based on Away
in a Manger (CRADLE
SONG), this flexibly voiced
anthem resonates with the truth that Christ
exchanged heaven's glories for a lowly manger,
a message with particular resonance for distant
friends and relatives, refugees, and the homeless:
not everyone is "home for the holidays." Subtly
shifting vocal textures from verse to verse and
the option of adding a children's choir ensure a
memorable reflection.

ending. This is good enough to become an annual
tradition in your church.

provide plenty of flexible performance options.
