"All is Well"

Today I wanted to share one of my favorite Christmas songs.  It isn't your typical Christmas carol, but a beautiful piece that really speaks to me about the true meaning of Christmas.

All is Well by By Michael W. Smith

I was introduced to this song when my voice teacher asked me to sing the solo at the beginning of the song at the Christmas Eve Vigil Mass when I was 12.  It was the first real solo I had ever sung, and I was sooooooooo nervous.  Honestly, when singing it, I was so caught up in my nervousness that I didn't really pay much attention to the words.  I wasn't until I stumbled upon it flipping through my old music the Christmas after we lost Luca, that I began to really understand and appreciate the words.  The first four lines, with the words "darkness fell into the dawn of love's light" is something I sing over and over in my head on hard days, reminding myself to let the darkness I feel fall away and let it be replaced with Gods love.

All is Well by By Michael W. Smith

All is well all is well

Angels and men rejoice

For tonight darkness fell

Into the dawn of love's light

Sing A-le, Sing Alleluia

All is well all is well

Let there be peace on earth

Christ is come go and tell

That He is in the manger

Sing A-le, Sing Alleluia

All is well all is well

Lift up your voices and sing

Born is now Emmanuel

Born is our Lord and Savior

Sing Alleluia

Sing Alleluia

All is well
