I'm sure "spectacular" is a gross understatement. I'd love to hear your, or any other, choir perform that song live. I'll bet my chills would multiply greatly.
One thing I don't understand though, why is that wonderful song is relegated to being only an annual favorite? It seems more like a year around song to me, even though I'm happy I don't hear it more often so the emotion it evokes can stay fresh with me.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I think I will have to do another one of these posts this year.
