Lauren Daigle's Beautiful Cover Of ‘Away In A Manger’

The biggest name in Christian music, Lauren Daigle, has delivered a stunning rendition of a classic Christmas tune about the birth of Jesus Christ, “Away in a Manger.”

Christmas is the season to celebrate and honor the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior. God sent His only Son to Earth to save man from sin. With that precious baby boy's birth, all those years ago came hope for a broken, sinful and defeated world. 

To provide hope for a bunch of sinners, not only did God send His son to Earth, but He was placed in likely the humblest situation possible. Christ was born by a lowly virgin in a stable surrounded by barnyard animals. There wasn’t even enough room for Mary, Joseph and Jesus in the inn, so they were confined to the area where the animals reside.

Following His entrance into the world, no crib or bed was available for the newborn child. Instead, that precious baby boy was placed in a manger. None of those settings or accommodations screams royalty or king, but thank God that He willingly humbled himself for our sakes.

In a clip placed on YouTube, Lauren sings that familiar but oh-so-beautiful tune “Away in a Manger.” No other Christmas song more perfectly illustrates how greatly Christ humbled Himself, bringing Himself to our level to offer forgiveness and salvation. 

“Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head”

The tune also points to the peace, calm and tranquility that accompanied the child. The lyrics state that the newborn was silently asleep on the hay in the manager. The child did not even cry. As the Bible mentions in the Old Testament book of Isaiah, He is the Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
