i've always loved the song "O Holy Night," but i am just now starting to see the depth to some of the lyrics... when you sing something all your life it tends to turn into empty words. i am starting to see the profound statements in this song. especially this verse:
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.
this sounds like the lyrics of a song you would hear written today; it emphasizes the kind of revolution Jesus stirred up in that time... that rather than violence and hunger for power, there was a much better way to live... the way we were created to live: in peace with one another and experiencing life to the fullest.
