Remember the real reason for the season as the five sisters of Cimorelli sing the Christmas hymn, ‘What Child Is This.’
As you hear these words, let it fill you with warmth and joy for the holiday season ahead.
‘What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?’
Cimorelli is an incredibly musical family group. The talented group is comprised of five sisters: Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Amy and Lauren.
Cimorelli has been performing together as a band for over 10 years. As Christians, the sisters enjoy using their God-given talents God to give Him glory. Through the years, they have made many beautiful covers of Christian songs including ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)’ and ‘Reckless Love’.
Today, they’re helping us ring in the Christmas season with a stunning rendition of the classic hymn, ‘What Child Is This.’
‘This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.’
This is the perfect arrangement to get you in the Christmas spirit. One viewer on YouTube said, “It's officially Christmas because Cimorelli has posted a Christmas song cover and released a Christmas album!!!”
Another wrote, “I always got goosebumps everytime hearing you guys singing!!”

Enjoy the nostalgic sounds of The Eagles as this bluegrass family band performs the iconic song, ‘Desperado.’
“Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow”
The Petersens are a family band from Branson, Missouri. The band consists of siblings, Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne, mom Karen, and family friend Emmett Franz.
This bluegrass ensemble has traveled all around the world sharing their musical talents, but you can normally find them at home in Branson. For ten seasons, The Petersens have performed at the Little Opry Theatre in the Branson IMAX Entertainment Complex.
Today, they’re taking on the classic Eagles song ‘Desperado’ and it’s one performance that you don’t want to miss.
“Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, you better let somebody love you before it's too late”
On YouTube, the band shared a little behind the scenes on the process of recording this song. “Ellen brought the song to the group with a pretty straightforward arrangement in October of 2021. We got caught up with Christmas music and shows and it went to the back burner until this summer.”
Once they began the process, Ellen already had quite a few songs in the works so they decided to have Katie perform lead vocals. And what an amazing choice that was!
I can’t wait to hear more from this talented family.
This is one of my Christian songs, of which I have written many over the years. I wrote this some years ago and I've recently put all of my songs together in one 'album'. I'd be really grateful for any comments, thoughts or anything else in the way of 'feedback'. Thank you and God bless.
