Chris Tomlin came to my boss' church last week to perform a concert. He brought a young woman with him who had written the song "Winter Snow" for her to perform. My boss has raved about this song and the words are very touching. Just think, He could have just appeared from nowhere a grown man in the midst of a crowd and shocked everyone! But, no, He came quiet, as a baby born in a stable surrounded by horses, cattle, sheep.
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 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
Oh 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
If you find the time today...please click on this link which will take you to YouTube and you can listen to this song. Amazing, fabulous, quiet. He could have came in a rushing wind, a burning bush, with trumpets blaring but he came as quiet as a winter snow.
"...the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them." Luke 2:6-7 (NLT)
