This is now a favorite carol of mine.
I really like Allison Krauss and Yo Yo Ma...
and the Irish melody soothes, while evoking a tear at the same time.
But, the true beauty lies in the lyrics...
Good people all, this Christmas time,
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done,
In sending His beloved Son.
With Mary [gratefully we] pray
To God with love this Christmas Day;
In Bethlehem upon the morn
There was a blessed Messiah born.
In the last minute, frantic rush to prepare
for the excitement, laughter and chaos
of tomorrow morning...
take a moment to listen
and consider the ultimate sacrificial gift...
Jesus...Messiah...Christ the LORD.
May we ponder like Mary and respond like the shepherds!
Merry Christmas and may God bless us...everyone!
