I was approached by Sam Rosenthal to pick a song and record at his studio a Christ mass song. I was so excited I knew without any thought that I wanted to do "O HOLY NIGHT". This to me is the best Chr
...
ist mass song ever. It was my mothers favorite and it still always brings me to tears. To me, this was a historical day. I asked Eric Clayton of Savour Machine if he would do a duet with me. I always admired his voice and felt this was the best opportunity to have us together vocally expressing our love for Christ.
Now I know this is taboo in an era where everyone seems to have fun hating Christ, a man who has done nothing to them and He said: "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." I'm not scared...
This song is for the heart to feel. In love, for love, real love, to the human world that needs to heal.
In him,
Merry CHRIST MASS!

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from the Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to our weaknesses no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
