Alanis Morissette has been enjoying renewed fame lately, touring across the country this year following the hit Broadway show Jagged Little Pill, which is based on her music. So, it was a pleasant surprise at first when she released her version of a classic and cherished Christmas carol, “O Holy Night.” But in the second part of her version of the song, Morissette blasphemously misgenders Jesus as “she,” all in the name of “peace and healing.”
You Oughta Know, Morissette, so we’re here to remind you of the mess you made when you trashed this beloved song and insulted Christians who love and worship the God of the Bible.
The song actually starts off lovely, and it’s surprising to hear her sing about “our dear Savior’s birth.” It lulls you into thinking she’s actually going to be respectful of Christianity, despite her feminist, woke history, including her playing "God" in the 1999 Kevin Smith movie Dogma.
She sings the first verse and chorus quite beautifully:
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy night, O night divine!
However, when she sings the third verse (skipping the second) at minute 2:00 in the video, she begins referring to Jesus as “she”:
Truly she taught us to love one another;
Her law is love and her gospel is peace.
Chains shall she break for the slave is our brother;
And in her name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise her holy name.
If Jesus had been transgender (female to male), Morissette would likely consider it offensive if anyone referred to Him as “she.” I thought the woke left was supposed to respect how someone “identifies" and was all about using their preferred pronouns.
The artist posted an announcement of her version of the song on X, writing, “Happy and healing holidays to you and yours”:

There's nothing happy or healing about twisting the sacred beliefs of billions of Christians around the world and disrespecting their God.
Jesus was a man. Plain and simple. To blaspheme Him and trash such a beautiful, classic song that’s been around since 1843 (especially with the line, “Let all within us praise her holy name”) during one of the holiest times of the year for Christians is just complete and utter disrespect to God and all who worship Him.
