this post is completely unrelated to the fact that that it is snowing once again here in nashville, on april 6… one day after we had a beautiful 74 degree spring day… but i want to introduce you to audrey assad, a writer and artist who i recently discovered. her song “winter snow” has quickly become one of my favorite songs and i want to share it with you.
what a strikingly beautiful and intimate depiction of Christ coming to earth, our Emmanuel… God with us…
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
wow.
audrey is a client of my good friend kat at the brown book agency, and you can hear more of her beautiful music on her myspace.
