Josh Turner's "King Size Manger" Tells the Prophecy of Jesus' Birth and Its Fulfilment
Veteran country music singer Josh Turner has never been shy about his faith. Today, he gets a chance to sing about Jesus and how he has come to change our lives in his brand new seasonal single "King Size Manger." This single is the first release from Turner's Christmas album, King Size Manger which you can pre-order here. The new album will be released globally on CD and digital October 8, 2021 on MCA Nashville.
"King Size Manger" tells the prophecy and story of Jesus' birth powerfully delivered through simple words and amplified by Turner's ardent and honest delivery. The lyrics include:
There in the hills of Bethlehem
No one had any room for them
They knew that child was a real-life changer
Lying there in a king size manger
"I ended up with three originals on this record of mine but if I would have picked one out of all of those it would still be King Size Manger," says Turner. "That really kind of tells the story about how there had been so many prophesies of a Messiah coming and being born and so He fulfilled all the prophesies and then some. It obviously made an impact, we set our calendar by it, and it's hope in a hopeless world that God would send his only son for us to set an example and show us a new way. It's about belief, it's about grace, it's about hope, it's about love, and I'm proud that the title track of this record tells that story to some extent and that to me is the reason for the season."
In support of the album, Turner will embark on a 17-city Holiday & The Hits Tour, culminating at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, where the album will come to life alongside Turner's most notable hits.
