Silent Night!
Holy Night!
Does this song speak to
you?
Or is the commotion in your world pulling you along
on its frantic, ear-splitting rush to nowhere?
Are your mind and your
heart
seeking, needing, desiring peace?
Rest now
and experience Christmas.
Bathe in the mystery
around us.
Pause and consider the reason,
and breathe in the scent of the season.
Then kneel as the sacred surrounds us.
That night - that sacred
night
was
Set apart for us to know
that the promised one had come.
Creation’s long awaited Son
has stepped from heaven’s brilliant light
to the darkness here below.
A baby cries, a woman
sighs,
and soon the world would realize
the meaning of this “Silent, Holy night.”
Peace has come to still
your heart -
God's peace within your soul.
This long awaited peace has come
to make God's children whole.
