Lauren Daigle Jazzy ‘What Child Is This?’ Cover - Christian Music Videos

One of the biggest names in Christian music Lauren Daigle has turned in a delightful and jazzy cover of a beloved Christmas tune about the newborn King, “What Child is This?”

Christmas without recognizing and honoring the birth of Jesus Christ is empty. All the meticulously wrapped presents, delicious food and time spent with family and friends are meaningless if Christ is not at the center of the celebration. That precious baby boy, born to a virgin in a lowly and humble stable, brought joy and hope to a lost and broken world in desperate need of it. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Lauren Daigle performs “What Child is This?” While it’s a tune that most are likely more than familiar with, Lauren takes the song in a more modern direction by giving it a jazzy sound. 

Like the song’s title, the tune's opening verse asks about the identity of the precious baby born to Mary. Who exactly is this child that is sleeping on his mother’s lap? What child could cause angels to greet him with sweet anthems?

The simple but beautiful and memorable chorus answers all those questions. There is no doubt or confusion about the child's identity, according to the song’s chorus. This child is the one who was sent to save man from his sins.

“This, this is Christ, the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary”

Praise God for sending His one and only Son to Earth to save a bunch of sinners. Christ changed everything for all people, forever and always!

Lauren is such a talented young woman, able to seemingly sing any kind of music with relative ease. Once again, with this recording, the music superstar shows she possesses a wealth of God-given musical talent.
