A hard look at our ideals today, and a plea to find grace. |
Challenges 11 & 12 combined. To write a parody of a Christmas song that is meaningful. Silent night Holy night All is calm all is bright 'Round yon virgin Mother and Child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia; Christ the Savior is born; Christ the Savior is born. Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth; Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x This is what our world has deteriorated to, today. We need to rediscover kinship and brotherhood. Silent night, tearful night All is calm, not a soul in sight 'Round yon corner comes gunfire wild In today’s world there’s no room for the mild Seek far and low for peace Seek far and low for peace Silent night, tearful night All denizens quake at the sight. death streams from heavens afar, that shining light is not the star; By senseless wars our earth is torn; By senseless wars our earth is torn; Silent night, tearful night Let’s embrace, love's pure light. Let’s wear friendship upon our face, with the dawn of redeeming grace, Peace Lord, at Thy re-birth; Peace Lord, at Thy re-birth. |
