"Fall on your knees"
Always gets to me. Lines like Meek and mild... No crying he makes... Communicate such a soft cuddly story... But Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds had to be told to not fear.

The true story is traumatic and contains highs and lows in the most extreme possible ways.

Divorce and abandonment was avoided before, real risk of death due to a king's rage would soon follow. The barriers between realms was torn open and non human beings were appearing with messages for humanity as very God through whom all of reality was created and is sustained came in the form of a newborn baby.

To me, the line to "Fall on your knees" is a reminder of the weighty significance of the reality of the incarnation.
