I shall from now until Christmas, occasionally post the Youtube video and lyrics to a Christmas song that I like. The songs will hopefully be ones with which you are not overly familiar, and ones that will you give you something to think about or something to smile about, or both.
Here's Derek Webb, singing Andrew Peterson's Deliver Us
Deliver Us
Our enemy, our captor is no pharaoh on the Nile
Our toil is neither mud nor brick nor sand
Our ankles bear no calluses from chains, yet Lord, we're bound
Imprisoned here, we dwell in our own land
Deliver us, deliver us Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
And gather us beneath your wings tonight
Our sins they are more numerous than all the lambs we slay
These shackles they were made with our own hands
Our toil is our atonement and our freedom yours to give
So Yahweh, break your silence if you can
'Jerusalem, Jerusalem How often I have longed To gather you beneath my gentle wings'
