As we sang “Oh Holy Night” at church on Christmas Eve, the words jumped out in a new way. Again emphasizing the Life that Jesus birth brought. I wrote a few days ago that this season God has been drawing me to Christ’s humanness. To the fact that there were many years between Christmas and Easter.
I invite you, these days after Christmas, to linger longer. May the light of Christ, the thrill of hope, speak to us through the lyrics:
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt it’s worth.
A thrill of Hope, the weary world rejoices.
Chains he shall break
In his name all oppression shall cease.
I love it when words sang over and over again through out the years suddenly jump off the page and the Holy Spirit breaths fresh meaning to them. It is happening more frequently lately.
