Singer and songwriter, Lynn Geyer, presents uplifting music for use in Christian settings. Lynn develops youth programs, such as her nationally recognized Journey to Forgiveness, an examination of conscience which includes a full length 17 song CD. Much of her ministry is devoted to the power of prayer in forgiveness and healing. Her easy alto lends itself to quiet services using traditional or contemporary music as well as charismatic prayer meetings. Lynn has recorded three albums.

Story behind the song
Night of Silence was written to be performed with Silent Night. I love the imagery created in this beautiful song about the night Jesus came into the world. The blending with Silent Night only adds to the gentle sweetness of this expression of this great birth.
Lyrics
Night of Silence Cold are the people, winter of life We tremble in shadows this cold endless night Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping Flowers that will echo the sunrise Fire of hope is our only warmth Weary its flame will be dying soon. Voice in the distance, call in the night On wind you enfold us you speak of the light Gentle on the ear you whisper softly Rumors of a dawn so embracing Breathless love awaits darkened souls Soon will we know of the morning. Spirit among us shine like the star Your light that guides shepherds and kings from afar Shimmer in the sky so empty, lonely, Rising in the warmth of your Son’s love Star unknowing of night and day Spirit we wait for your loving Son. Silent Night Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child Holy infoant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night holy night, shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing alleluia Christ the savior is born, Christ the savior is born Silent night holy night, Son of God, love’s pure light. Radiant beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus Lord at thy birth, Jesus Lord, at thy birth.
