Confession

I have a confession to make... Today I was listening to my ipod on shuffle (as I usually do... Too many songs to just focus on one or two playlists so I play it on shuffle to get the best random sampling of my favorite songs.) when a Christmas song came on... Rather then skip it as I normally do, I let it play through... Not only did I let to play through, I pushed repeat to listen to it again. What can I say? I am a sucker for great lyrics and a key that I can sing in...

O Holy Night
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear Saviour'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 world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees! Oh hear the angel voices!
Oh night divine! Oh night when Christ was born!
Oh night divine! Oh night! Oh night divine!

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. Oh praise his name forever!
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born!
Oh night divine, Oh holy night, Oh night divine!
