Song Meaning of “O Holy Night” by Shoshana Bean
O Holy Night, a classic carol, is a song of profound reverence and worship of the Lord our God. Its timeless and timelessly beautiful melody has been arranged hundreds of times by different artists in all different kinds of styles. Shoshana Bean’s version is an incredibly soulful rendition, with her powerful vocal performance and heart-felt emotion truly bringing the lyrics to life.
As the song begins, the first verse speaks about the awesomeness of the Lord and His awesome power and glory. It invokes imagery of the star-filled sky and the sacred night that falls in its glory. We are then given a powerful declaration of faith and love for God, whose name is above every name. The chorus repeats this sentiment even louder, with her voice rising in strength as she sings “O holy night, the stars are brightly shining!”
The second verse ensues with the beautiful imagery of the Lord coming down from heaven, and entering the world in the form of a little baby. We can feel Shoshana Bean’s earnest emotions with her passionate vocal delivery, as she expresses her belief in the power of His love, and its ability to transform the world. Finally, the doors of heaven open and the third verse speaks joy, singing with pure delight about Jesus and the glorious promise of hope, peace, and life that He brings to us.
