Silent Night...NOT!


Mary was a mother giving birth to her first child,
And Jesus as a newborn, I don’t see him meek and mild.
There were angels in the pasture singing with all their might,
No matter what the song says, it was not a silent night.

It was peace on Earth and goodwill towards men,
But the fact remains there’s no room in the inn.
Everyone and his brother had come back into town,
And I can’t figure how they got them all to settle down.

Angels came to shepherds while there flocks they tried to keep.
The Bible says the men were scared, but what about the sheep?
Hundreds of bleating animals, running streaks of white,
I wonder why they ever thought it was a silent night.

Too many in our world today choose to believe the song,
But God, I’m sure thinks we have been silent for too long.
God came to Earth to save all man on that holy night,
And that’s the song we need to sing, and sing with all our might.
