Audrey Assad's 'Winter Snow' is a contemplative Christmas song that reflects on the gentle, humble arrival of Jesus. The lyrics contrast the quietness of a snowfall with the dramatic power of storms or fires, suggesting that God chose to come softly rather than forcefully. The song draws on the biblical theme of God speaking in a still, small voice, as in 1 Kings 19. It emphasizes the humility and tenderness of the incarnation, inviting listeners to appreciate the peaceful, unexpected way God entered the world.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
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
Oh 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 that 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
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
(But) 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
