Winter Snow

Christ Tomlin's Christmas album was such a great blessing.  And this song was a revelation.  I've never heard of Audrey Assad before, but she sang this cut with beautiful simplicity that you couldn't help but pick it as one of the best songs of the album.

Lord, we praise you for being an example of humility.  While You could choose to come in the grandest scales, You chose to be born on a mere stable.  The King of Kings on a mere stable!  Thank You for coming to us like a winter snow.  The gentleness of Jesus Christ emanates the true strength that He possesses.  Just beautiful.  Praise be to Your Name!!

Winter Snow

by Audrey Assad

Could’ve come like a mighty storm

With all the strength of a hurricane

You could’ve come like a forrest fire

With the power of heaven in your flame

But you came like a winter snow

Quiet and soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

To the earth below

Could’ve swept in like a tidal wave

Or an ocean to ravish our hearts

You could have come through like a roaring flood

To wipe away the things we’ve scarred

But you came like a winter snow

Quiet and soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

To the earth below

No, your voice wasn’t in a bush burning

No, your voice wasn’t in a rushing wind

It was still, it was small, it was hidden

But you came like a winter snow

Quiet and soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

To the earth below
