Mercy Me’s “I heard the bells on Christmas Day”

“Suddenly a great company of heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.'”  ~Luke 2:13-14

This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs!  I am not sure why the song hits such a tender spot in my heart.  Maybe it is that longing for God’s peace in this world when sometimes it seems so hard to find.  It could be the line “God is not dead nor does He sleep” that makes me want to smile and sing it to all.  Or maybe, just maybe, it is the moments where I find God’s grace touching my very soul in a way that causes me to “hear” and feel a peace I cannot describe.  I am not fully sure, but I do know that I love it and wanted to share it.  All you have to do is have your sound on and click the arrow in the middle of the video screen.  I hope you enjoy!

“And He will be their peace.”  ~Micah 5:5

“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.  In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart!  I have overcome the world.”  ~John 16:33
