Not exactly a Christmas song

In an attempt to revive an old tradition for myself, I opted to write and and record a song all at once over Christmas break. This I successfully accomplished. However, my goal was to write a proper Christmas song. I often jest that you can turn any song into a Christmas song if you just add sleigh bells, but gosh folks, we know that ain't true.
I was trying to give it some genuine Christmas spirit, yet keep it secular. I think I wrote a Christian song, but vague enough to be secular.



Below are the lyrics, which I've already changed since recording. That's my prerogative.

'Twas the Longest Darkest Night

'Twas the longest darkest night 

Coldest oldest hopes seemed lost 

Wind blew through our bones 

Blackness of the sky was crystal clear 

Until a light beyond the din 

Became the light and all within 

Hallelujah 

I walk to you 

Hallelujah 

Life anew 

'Twas the brightest sight of grace 

Might and kindness light the likes unseen 

Heat of a breeze in shade 

Highest peaks to hearth warmed feet 

Yes, the light above the din 

Behold the light and all within. 

Hallelujah 

I never knew 

Hallelujah 

Now I do
