I'm a pretty "traditional" Christmas carol kinda person. I don't normally like new Christmas songs, I don't like listening to new songs, thanks, I'll stick to the ones I know... I've been trying to branch out, but I find myself gravitating to the ones I know. But sometimes one just jumps out at me (mostly because it is sandwiched between songs on an album and I end up "accidentally" listening to it).
This song speaks to me on a level I'm not sure I want to acknowledge. As I think back, I have had so many silent nights. Nights where my broken heart is crying, often without words, out for hope, for love... for someone to find me. The reassurance that in those silent nights heaven hears my cry. That love will come to find me in those hurting paces. "There is no distance the Prince of Peace won't go, from manger low to Calvary's hill, when your pain runs deep, His love runs deeper still." What a message. What a promise this is.
May you find peace, and hope, in the midst of your silent nights...
All is calm and all is bright
Everywhere but in your heart tonight
They're singing carols of joy and peace
But you feel too far gone and too far out of reach
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
From Heaven's height to manger low
There is no distance the Prince of Peace won't go
From manger low to Calvary's hill
When your pain runs deep, His love runs deeper still
He has always loved you, child
And He always will
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
Lift your head, lift your heart
Emmanuel will meet you where you are
He knows your hurt, He knows your name
And you're the very reason that He came
