Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at thy birth
Jesus Lord, at thy birth
Our affection, our devotion
Poured out on the feet of Jesus
Our affection, our devotion
Poured out on the feet of Jesus
Our affection, our devotion
Poured out on the feet of Jesus
Our affection, our devotion
Poured out on the feet of Jesus
Our affection, our devotion
Poured out on the feet of Jesus
Our affection, our devotion
Poured out on the feet of Jesus

The song "Silent Night / Jesus We Love You" by Maverick City Music is a beautiful combination of two beloved worship songs that are filled with deep meaning and a heart of adoration for Jesus. The first part of the song, "Silent Night," takes us back to the humble beginnings of Jesus' birth, depicting the peaceful and holy night when Jesus came into the world. It reflects on the calmness and brightness that surrounded the virgin Mary and the baby Jesus, as shepherds witnessed this miraculous event.
The lyrics transport us to that moment in time, where we can almost feel the awe and wonder that must have overcome the shepherds as they experienced the glory of heaven and the angelic host singing "hallelujah." The birth of Jesus, the Savior, is celebrated as the dawn of redeeming grace, bringing hope and salvation to all mankind.
The second part of the song, "Jesus We Love You," is a heartfelt declaration of affection and devotion towards Jesus. It speaks of pouring out our love and adoration at His feet, recognizing Him as the one our hearts adore. This part of the song beautifully captures the essence of our relationship with Jesus - a deep love and reverence for who He is and what He has done for us.
The combination of these two songs is powerful, as it takes us on a journey from the humble birth of Jesus to the depths of our love and devotion for Him. It reminds us of the significance of Christmas and why we celebrate this special time of year. It is not just about the presents, the decorations, or the festivities, but it is about Jesus, the Son of God, who came to earth as a baby to save us and reconcile us to the Father.
In terms of scriptural references, the song draws inspiration from the Christmas story found in the Gospel of Luke. Luke 2:8-14 describes the angel appearing to the shepherds, announcing the birth of Jesus and the heavenly host praising God. This passage captures the essence of "Silent Night", as it portrays the shepherds' reaction to the glorious news and their journey to Bethlehem.
The second part of the song, "Jesus We Love You," is a beautiful expression of our love for Jesus, which is rooted in the greatest commandment given by Jesus Himself. In Mark 12:30-31, Jesus says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." This verse encapsulates the heart behind the lyrics of this song, as we pour out our affection and devotion to Jesus, recognizing Him as the one our hearts adore.
Overall, "Silent Night / Jesus We Love You" is a powerful worship song that combines the beauty of the Christmas story with a heartfelt declaration of love and adoration for Jesus. It reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas and invites us to join in the celebration of the birth of our Savior. As we sing along to this song, may our hearts be filled with awe, gratitude, and a deep love for Jesus, the one our hearts adore.
