Every Christmas I listen to Amy Grant's song about Mary, wondering why she had been chosen to carry the son of God and wondering if it is a mistake on God's part, but then she gives into the breath of heaven and asks for this breath to lighten her darkness. Who doesn't need that? Light in a dark place.
Now I see she has a new kind of Christmas song…Better than a Hallelujah…it might not be a Christmas song to everyone but it is to me…to me it says sitting in a church and raising hands doesn't say who we really are, and God cares who we really are.
"Honest cries of a breaking heart
Are better than a hallelujah sometimes.
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are…"
You can listen to the whole song here
