As I sit at the dining room table, the expected snow has begun to fall. It is not enough to cover the ground…yet. But it is the beginning of the first white Christmas we have had in 10 years. Amongst all the craziness, Father, thank You for the gift of something special…something out of the norm. For that is what You are all about, things that are special and out of the norm. Praise to You, Heavenly Father.

This week has not been one of normal writings. Lord Jesus, I have felt drawn to thoughts of You as we once again celebrate Your birth…Your coming to be our Emmanuel, our God with us.

As we do so, I came across a new song. Last spring, when a majority of our country was in some sort of lockdown or another, a father-daughter duo posted a song online as something they could do together. They both had a great love for music and great talent to boot. It quickly went viral and they have gone to share many more songs and have even released a CD.

In one of their latest releases, Mat and Savanna Shaw have joined with Peter Hollens, another online powerhouse to release a Peter Hollens original for this Christmas season.

The song does not name God or Jesus, but They are easily seen in the “love” and the “light”. I am not writing much but letting the song speak for itself. Have a Blessed Christmas for truly “all we need this Christmas is love…more love”.

LET THE LIGHT IN

Verse 1:                                                     Verse 2:

Lights aglow                                              What is life
Stockings by the chimney                         If we don’t have each other
A tree shines in the dark                           Only living for ourselves
Through a frosty window pane                 Divided we will fall

We sing of hope                                       So give your heart
The joy of the season                               Stand with one another
But it’s hard to feel that way                    Letting go of hate
With the pain of yesterday                       Don’t repeat our past mistakes

Pre-Chorus:                                               Pre-Chorus:

I look for the answers                               I hope for all children
When I’m crying on my knees                  When I’m down on my knees
But I can’t find the reasons why               That in the darkness they’ll choose light

Chorus:                                                     Chorus 

So I don’t have a Christmas List               Chorus
All I pray for                                            
All I wish is                                               Outro:
Love                                                        
It’s all I’m thinking of                               If you let the light in
That every girl and every boy                  Hearts will open
Everyone would know the joy                 
Of love                                                     *Repeat*
All we need this Christmas                      
Is love, love
More love, love
*mmmm (adlib)*
