O Holy Night

This is definitely one of my most favorite Christmas songs ever. Several years ago I heard my sister-in-law (who has one of the pretties voices I've heard) sing a version of this song and I've been in love with it ever since. It's such a powerful song, but it's peaceful at the same time. My favorite words of the song that I think about when I'm playing this solo are:

"The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger

In all our trials born to be our friend.

He know our need, to our weakness is no stranger

Behold your king

Before Him lowly bend

Behold your king

Before Him lowly bend"

Our Savior was born to bear our trials and to be our friend. He suffered everything imaginable while He was here on Earth so that He could relate to each one of us. He is no stranger to the weaknesses we have or the trials we face. He knows how to help us and He will help us. 

The night our Savior was born was truly a holy night.

Sheet Music

What Child Is This?

I've always loved the melody of "Greensleeves" and the words written for "What Child Is This?" greatly add to the beauty of the music.

"This, this is Christ the Kind,

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing

Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary."
