Five Golden Carols

          

            My favorite Disney princess movie has always been Sleeping Beauty, but among the ones which came out more recently in the 2000's I'd have to say my favorite is Tangled. The songs are the best, and well, the horse steals the show. However, my favorite scene in the movie is where Rapunzel and Flynn are out on the lake singing "At Last I See The Light" with the lanterns floating overhead. Not only is it so beautiful and for me the epitome of a romantic date, but I love the duet. What each one claims is that the other has made life meaningful to him at last; that, "At Last I see the light, now that I see you." Isn't that so sweet?

            Anyhow, my point is that just like out there on the lake with the sky ablaze with lanterns Flynn and Rapunzel realized that their lights were not actually floating up above them but sitting right across from them, so too, as the sky went ablaze with light and Angels burst upon the scene proclaiming good news, we realize that the light in the sky was pointing not vertically but horizontally to the true light come down to us.

          We only truly see the light when we gaze upon the face of God's glorious Son.

        So today as you listen to this stirring song, "The Birthday of A King," think on the true light, the light in us who shines beautifully in a dark world.

    This version mixes in O Holy Night as well, but i think it's fitting...Anyhow, I like it best when Steve Green sings it.
