Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics
Blanket of Stars: Silent Might
At the first glimpse of Jesus, we wondered
Did He know we had waited so long?
That the Father was writing a melody,
Word enfleshed, whose whole life was a song?
As the first angel chorus proclaimed it
Did they realize God made a choice,
To reveal Heaven’s pow’r in an infant
For which carols still join, ev’ry voice
So in awe, he spoke not, good St. Joseph
Humming sweetly, our lady wrapped him tight
Jesus, comfort and joy born at Christmas
Smiling swaddled, Son of God,
Silent might!
Can we travel in prayer to the manger
To the night of “no room in the inn”?
Hold our tongues, in amazement we witness
The beginning of the end of our sin…
But tonight we continue to know Him
As the infinite Love, came so small
Somehow dumbfounded, yet we’re adoring
Holy Baby who will save one and all!
(Repeat Chorus: SO IN AWE . . .)
See some deep, quiet time on this Christmas
Take a moment, contemplate His Worth
Put to rest noise and all loud distraction
Let us take a ‘pregnant pause’ at His birth
(Repeat Chorus: SO IN AWE . . .)
