O Holy Night With Gratitude
Selah's rendition of "O Holy Night" blends the classic Christmas carol with a contemporary worship bridge, expressing gratitude and praise. The song celebrates the birth of Christ, the hope He brings to a weary world, and the peace and love He teaches. The added lyrics acknowledge human limitations in expressing thanks, offering a heartfelt "hallelujah" as the only fitting response to God's greatness. It's a worshipful reflection on the incarnation and the believer's response of praise.
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
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angels' voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
All my words fall short
I've got nothing new
How could I express all my gratitude
I could sing these songs
As I often do
But every song must end
And You never do
So I throw up my hands and praise You again and again
Cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah
And I know it's not much but I've nothing else fit for a king
Except for a heart singing hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
