Does my soul know it's worth?

As we sang O'Holy Night at church, I caught the line "Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth," I was caught by the wonder of this verse.

Does my soul feel His worth? 

If my soul does feel His worth then my soul has felt its worth.

Christmas is my favorite time because so many will pause to enjoy the wonder and be in awe of what God has done. I have to smile inside because even the most vile cannot resist a baby. Well, unless they have a heart like Herod. 

Do you get it? 

Knowing His worth brings hope! A weary world rejoices! 

Please pause long enough to just let the lyrics penetrate you so you know His worth and your own. 

May this Christmas awaken hope in you. Much love! Tara

O holy night! the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared 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!
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 pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!
O night divine! O night, O night divine!
Merry Christmas, y'all!
