a
whisper
of love as night falls
the Savior of all is born
come and worship
with angels and
shepherds
a whisper of love
echos through all time
that silent and holy night
a whisper
brought time and space
into being
all creation brought to life
with His breath
a whisper placed planets in orbit
sun
moon
stars by tens of thousands
all a result of a whisper of love
mountains oceans meadows rivers plants trees
animals birds fish spoke into existence
leading up to the Three in One saying
"let us make man in our image"
with a whisper He called each evening
walking
talking
laughing
loving
until the one time no one answered His call
hidden in fear
hidden in shame
the plan of salvation set into motion
generations upon generations
born lived died
judges judged
kings ruled
prophets spoke
so often no one answered His call
a Messiah promised
yet heaven was quiet
year after year they waited
they wondered
they doubted
then
with a whisper so intimate
a young girl was told she would give birth to
King of king
Lord of lords
as the Creator entered the created
9 months passed as she whispered to her unborn
a whisper of love to the One who loved her first
a whisper
a hush
that first Christmas night
a baby born
a mother's whisper
as love boundless
lay in a manger
a whisper from heaven
wrapped in humanity
His whisper roared
His whisper sang
His whisper said come leave follow believe
some loved
some hated
all heard His whisper
for His whisper left no heart untouched
His whisper so passionate
even in death
His whisper silenced
as the enemy thought
he had won
but oh he had lost
for the dead became alive
the whisper heard again
"do not be afraid"
"peace be with you"
His whisper still echos
His whisper still calls
His whisper still whispers
to come away
leave distractions even good
come kneel
come worship
come whisper
of love all consuming
all encompassing
all surrendering
come to the manger
in stillness
in hush
and hear
His whisper as He
calls you by name
let His breath of heaven
breathe warmth
breathe peace
breathe life into hearts perhaps weary even tonight
come and worship come and worship worship Christ the
newborn King
a mother's whisper
as love boundless
lay in a manger
a whisper from heaven
wrapped in humanity
His whisper roared
His whisper sang
His whisper said come leave follow believe
some loved
some hated
all heard His whisper
for His whisper left no heart untouched
His whisper so passionate
even in death
His whisper silenced
as the enemy thought
he had won
but oh he had lost
for the dead became alive
the whisper heard again
"do not be afraid"
"peace be with you"
His whisper still echos
His whisper still calls
His whisper still whispers
to come away
leave distractions even good
come kneel
come worship
come whisper
of love all consuming
all encompassing
all surrendering
come to the manger
in stillness
in hush
and hear
His whisper as He
calls you by name
let His breath of heaven
breathe warmth
breathe peace
breathe life into hearts perhaps weary even tonight
come and worship come and worship worship Christ the
newborn King
