Written by This is just a short poem I wrote. It’s inspired by some recent conversations that I have been apart of and also by the song by Casting Crowns. It’s simple I suppose. But it means a lot to me; even deeper than I am able to convey. I hope you can read between the lines and understand where this is coming from. Merry Christmas from above the noise.
Above the noise
This is about the season and the song
It’s Christmas time and I have to say
Give me some peace and quiet time
Decrease noise, so we can reflect and pray
I climb higher to the sacred ground
Where I can hover above the noise
To me this is where we should be
All about the Son and songs, not toys
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Not the ones heard begging for things
But bells celebrating our Lord’s birth
When children and angels all sing
Their old familiar carols play
Sounds so divine, not for show
We sing, as one with the words
Faith to some, but you and I know
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
The message heard but too often ignored
Melodies dance from the tips of tongues
These words celebrate the birth of our Lord
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Most defy somehow each day
Peace means quiet and tranquility
Let there be peace, here, let us stay
