Darlene Zschech - O Holy Night

Hillsong Christmas (2001)

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, O hear the angels' voices

O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night when Christ was born

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains He shall break for the slave is our brother 

And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
With all our hearts we praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord and we shall ever praise Thee
His power and glory ever more proclaim

O night divine, O night when Christ was born

God of Wonders

Greetings LoveMusic! listeners.

In the year 2000, the song Open the Eyes of My Heart came out, and churches all across the world sang it for the next 15 years and still counting. As a result, Paul Baloche, now an Integrity Music worship leader, became known by many from his home in Lindale, Texas.

A year later in 2001 he introduced to Christian contemporary music followers, and worship leaders across America, the next wonderful song to be added to churches' popular song lists - God of Wonders. Being a subscriber to Integrity Music's Hosanna! Music, and as worship leader myself, it was soon added to my song list for Sunday morning.

What a great song. Thank you Paul!

Sing along as you did back then, and rejoice that we serve the Almighty God, the God of all wonders!

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

P.S. And after you have listened to God of Wonders, listen to this one too! Jesus You Are (written by Paul Baloche.)

God of Wonders

Lyrics

Lord of all creation
Of the water, earth and sky
The Heavens are Your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high

God of wonders, beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth

So Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
And as I stumble into darkness (I will call Your name by night)
I will call Your name by night

God of wonders, beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of Heaven and Earth (Lord of Heaven and Earth)
Lord of Heaven and Earth (Lord of Heaven and Earth)

Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth

Sing God of wonders
