Winter Snow

I love Christmas.  One of my favorite parts of Christmas are the songs because they really allow me to focus on the meaning of Christmas.  Their words have meaning and the reflection in them can be powerful.  My favorite traditional song is "Oh Holy Night".  My favorite modern song is probably "Winter Snow".  The words just remind me of how the birth of Jesus was so humble and simple.  He didn't want to have a grandiose entrance.  He came in a barn, with his earthly mom and dad there.  That's it.  His birth is truly a gift.  Not just for His future death but for all it represents.  Isn't He amazing in His perfect plan?

Winter Snow by Chris Tomlin

Could've come like a mighty storm

With all the strength of a hurricane

You could've come like a forest 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

You 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, yes, You did

You were quiet, You were soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

To the earth below

Ooh 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

Oh, You came like a winter snow

Quiet and soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

To the earth below

Falling, oh yeah, to the earth below

You came falling from the sky in the night

To the earth below
