O holy night the stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
The soul felt its worth
The soul felt its worth
The soul felt its worth
How?
When this story whispered | SHOUTED | sungggggg
That salvation for the world can be nurtured in the belly of an unmarried teenager
That towns-often-mocked might inspire choruses that endure for centuries (like Basingstoke?)
That angels will put on a show for the smelliest and most socially awkward (Glorrrriaaaaa - imagine friend dressed in sequins and fairy lights singing this)
That Zoroastrian mystics were invited to the party by a message . from . space …. ?
...Because the planets were communicating, galaxy choirs singing, stars spinning sparking sparkling in delight, and LIGHT, all that bright and beamy light, bursting burning spitting firing light - all in honour of the Lord of Light - descending like morning dew after a long long long night
