O Holy Night...
When we walk daily
with our God,
our Savior, Jesus,
every day
can
be
holy...
every moment
is
holy...
Though we often don't understand
the details of our lives
and why "things" happen
the way they do,
and when they do,
and how they do...
God understands.
He is in each moment
with us.
Because our Creator
knows and understands us,
He knows the end from the beginning,
He knows each moment
is holy...
He longs to dwell within us
and He desires to reveal
the holiness of every moment;
the holiness of sunrise and sunset,
the holiness of birth, of life, of death...
the holiness of really loving those around us,
the holiness of marriage and becoming one,
the holiness of the humble dailiness of this life we live...
the holiness of this Christmas season...
the holiness of living in this manger-like world,
so simple, so gutsy, so real...
The son of God was birthed in love, upon the hay...
a gift delivered from heaven through Mary, as she lay
trusting in the words from God,
delivered through an angel's visitation,
followed by songs of praise and adoration
for a God who'd come to earth
to live as a man, his blood poured out
so we'd experience rebirth,
A holy night, to bring about
transformation, heavenly
to fulfill our destiny,
God's plan unfolding, perfectly.

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend!
He knows our need—to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend!
He knows our need—to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
