Holy hush on the hillside
Shepherds and sheep
Stunned
Gazed
In stillness
A suddenly visitation
A holy angel announces
And heaven’s vast angelic army confirms in song
Oh the Brightness of their light
Illuminated
Into and overtook
The night
Displaying and announcing
The ONE Who Is LIGHT
Is born
Has come
NOW
Suddenly
Brightness of the Army’s Light
Can we even grasp
This
Brilliance of Glory Realm
Resounding
With
The True Sound of Silence
Heaven’s Stillness
Heaven’s Hush
Visiting the Shepherds
And their sheep
In a hidden place
Not announced in the market square
Nor in the temple
BUT
To the simple shepherds
About their daily tasks
Watching over their flocks
In the night
Where nothing competed with their senses
No distractions
A hillside with sheep
THE GREAT SHEPHERD
Is announced
Holy Announcers from Heaven
Caused them to enter into
Stunned adoration & awe!
Overtaken by
Holy Light & Holy Sound
In Heaven’s Stillness & Rest

Holy deposits of revelatory Truth
Into their hearts and beings
LIGHT permeated
Overtook darkness & shadowlands of their souls
And caused a response –

They BECAME
Seekers of TRUTH
And when they found
THE PROMISED ONE
WHO is TRUTH
With Radiant Light
In His Eyes
The same Light
That visited them on the hillside,
Eternal Realm of Holy Light & Holy Love & Holy Life

They bowed
Before the KING
In reverence
In stillness
In the hush of Heaven’s Birthing of
THE PROMISE

In that stillness
They were overtaken
With His Reality
GOD WITH US
IMMANUEL

They arose and humbly departed
NOW
On a heavenly mission
They BECAME
Heaven’s holy announcers
On earth

The SILENCE is NOW pierced
With Revelation’s Sound & Eternal Decree
The Savior has come
The Light of the World
Darkness has been pierced
The True Radiance
Of Heaven’s Glory
Is with us

O come let us
ADORE
In
Holy wonder & awe

The True Sound of Silence
O holy night
A suddenly
As we
WAIT
In His Stillness
With Him
And
For Him
Filling our hearts afresh
To BECOME His announcers
Behold the Light of the World
Has come!
