Not So Silent Night
Point of Grace's 'Not So Silent Night' is a contemporary Christmas song that reflects on the birth of Jesus and its profound meaning. The lyrics evoke the nativity scene, describing the baby in a manger as the Word of God and the hand of God with a newborn's fingers. The song emphasizes the joy and hope that Christ's arrival brings, with imagery of angels, bells, and songs ringing through the sky. It celebrates the incarnation as a moment when heaven drew near and God spoke through a child, breaking chains and offering life. The overall tone is worshipful and celebratory, capturing the wonder of Christmas.
Do you hear what I hear
On this Christmas day
Echoes from a stable long ago
Word of God, now bundled
In a manger lined with hay
Baby with a message, born to grow
Hear the sound
Of chains now broken
Love came down
God has spoken
Songs of hope
Ringing through the sky
On this not so silent night
Oh, to be an angel
On a midnight clear
Joining in a chorus of unending joy
Tell it on the mountain
Heaven has drawn near
Hand of God with fingers of a baby boy
Hear the bells
Resound with glory
Hear them tell
The age-old story
Songs of hope
Ringing through the sky
On this not so silent night
Voice of God
In a newborn cry
A Father calls
Through a gift of life
