Voice as Big as the Sea

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
(Do You Hear What I Hear?) 

This one phrase - voice as big as the sea - just spoke to me this morning as I was listening to this song on the road to Carthage, MO.  The song is referring to the angels singing to the shepherds as the announcement of Jesus birth!  What a night that must have been to be a shepherd hearing the voices of angels sing and honor this baby which was born.  Their voices were so strong their voices must have filled the air in an amazing ways.  

I thought then of the first cry of baby Jesus.  That first breath and that first cry out must have been a sound in the heavens that every angel and every spiritual being must have been amazed at the reality of Jesus voice first being heard on earth!  Voice as big as the sea!

Christmas changes everything!
