joy to the world
the Lord has come
let earth receive her King
and yet
despite the well-wishes
and cheeriness
and joy that comes with December
Christmas is one of the most
hectic
times of the year
for me it's wonderful because
i love the crazy
the bright lights and Christmas carols
but I have seen how
wild
the holidays can be
yet still
even amidst the
insanity
that comes with the Christmas season
there seems to be a
special hush
that lies over the world
on the night of Christmas Eve
like the world is holding
its breath
remembering what happened
so many nights ago
the night that the angels danced
in the starry night sky
unable to contain their joy
the night our Savior King was born
the earth itself
seems to want to sing
on the night of Christmas Eve
and tell us
angels we did hear that night
sweetly singing o'er the plains
gloria, gloria
because of the night our Savior King was born
the household buzzes on the night before Christmas
some of us can't sleep
because the excitement is too palpable
but maybe
maybe
if we are still and just
listen
for a moment
maybe we'll hear the angels singing
joy to the world
the Lord has come
let earth receive her King
