God raised up a horn
Our salvation born
Down from the line of kings
Who prophets spoke and angels sing
He came to save from certain death
To shine His light - His name our breath
To break the bonds that hold us back
So we might give where others lack
Unto us a child is born
To us a son is given
Dawn breaks on frozen hearts
Darkness fades the world restarts
From the warmth of that sun
Ice will melt – healing comes
And all the walls that we built
Dams torn down - the water spills
From our eyes and from our hearts
Overflows to every part
Unto us a child is born
To us a son is given
And He will be the hope of all
And He will reign forever
And of His peace will be no end
And of His grace will be no end
And of His love will be no end
And we will all be called His friends
Unto us a child is born
To us a son is given

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
