I’m pleased to share with you the premiere of my lyric video, “It Wasn’t a Silent Night After All.”
This song was a true gift. I came home from a Christmas Eve service at our church, and Something was pushing me that I recognized as a “song nudge,” so I sat down at my piano in my living room, and this song just came out.
The idea of the song is that when God chose to enter the world and become human, God didn’t choose perfect circumstances – so the song tries to capture the difficulty and the hardship of that holy night – because if God didn’t choose perfect circumstances when God came to earth, then that means God can enter into our imperfect circumstances too.
I brought the idea to my co-writer, Nancy Beaudette, and together we crafted the idea into a song that retells the Christmas Story from a different vantage point.
Maybe it can be a reminder that God didn’t come for perfect. God came in person – to real people and for all people, to show us how much He Loves us, and to save us with that Love.
