Advent Challenge 2017 Day 9 - Delight

Write about a great delight.

I wasn’t sure what to write about or take a photo of for this day’s theme. There are many things in life that are ‘delightful’. I have or will write about a few of them in this project that relate to my journey over the last 9 years. Since those will be covered, I decided to focus on what gives me ‘great delight’ at Christmas time. There’s nothing greater, nothing more delightful, than music this time of year. Here are some of my favourite songs. The first one is very traditional and I love the images presented with the videos. It's, by far, my favourite Christmas song.

The next two are newer songs that I just adore, most especially the song Noel. ‘Come and see what God has done.’ ‘The story of amazing love. The light of the world given for us. Noel’

And lastly a new song I'd never heard before and I offer it to all of you who are hurting this Christmas, all of you who aren't sure where you belong, how you will survive, where to find your joy and hope. Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried and Jesus' love has come to find you.

"Somewhere In Your Silent Night" All is calm and all is bright Everywhere but in your heart tonight They're singing carols of joy and peace But you feel too far gone and too far out of reach Somewhere in your silent night Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried Hope is here, just lift your head For love has come to find you Somewhere in your silent night From heaven's height to manger low There is no distance the Prince of Peace won't go From manger low to Calvary's hill When your pain runs deep His love runs deeper still He has always loved you, child And He always will Somewhere in your silent night Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried Hope is here, just lift your head For love has come to find you Somewhere in your silent night Lift your head Lift your heart Emmanuel will meet you where you are He knows your hurt He knows your name And you're the very reason that He came Somewhere in your silent night Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried Hope is here, just lift your head For love has come to find you Somewhere in your silent night Love will find you Love will find you Love will find you
