Have you given some thought to the lyrics of “O Holy Night“? It has been my favorite for years. The words ring and resound with hope, rest and freedom from slavery. If you take it a step further, the slavery can mean anything that someone is kept in bondage to. A stronghold they can’t seem to get away from, and that has control over them in some way. There is hope for these among us. And we can share it.
This final verse is especially powerful:
“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”
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”
Let the words of this hymn fill your heart. And bring you into a space and time of pure praise.
“A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new glorious morn…”
For yonder breaks a new glorious morn…”
