| Talk about a winter
|
| The world had never known,
|
| Talk about a silence
|
| That hardened up the soil;
|
| No more life left in Eden,
|
| But You knew the time would come…
|
| 'Cause You were growing up a family
|
| That You would call Your own,
|
| And through a fragile people
|
| The Light of Life would come,
|
| And when it seemed like we’d never see Spring,
|
| Heaven gave a King!
|
| Like an Amaryllis, blooming at Christmas,
|
| When everything was cold and dark
|
| Your love broke through and You shined
|
| With the brilliance of summer,
|
| Right in the middle of winter!
|
| You came surprising the night,
|
| Like a Christmas Amaryllis…
|
| Here I am waiting
|
| In a winter of my own
|
| If it’s gonna be this cold here
|
| Why couldn’t it just snow?
|
| At least I could say through the pain
|
| That it’s somehow beautiful…
|
| And everybody knows that the time to bloom is spring,
|
| But You’re asking me to break through the hardness of this freeze
|
| And You say that You’re with me
|
| And I can make it through anything…
|
| Like an Amaryllis, blooming at Christmas,
|
| When everything is cold and dark
|
| Your love breaks through and I shine
|
| With the brilliance of summer,
|
| Right in the middle of winter!
|
| Somehow surprising the night
|
| Like a Christmas Amaryllis…
|
| There are the rare and beautiful treasures
|
| That grow when it’s coldest
|
| When nobody’s watching…
|
| Sending a message to a sleeping world
|
| That You are here with us now
|
| And You are making all things new again…
|
| Like an Amaryllis, blooming at Christmas,
|
| When everything is cold and dark
|
| Your love breaks through and You shine!
|
| With the brilliance of summer,
|
| Right in the middle of winter!
|
| Ever surprising the night,
|
| Like a Christmas Amaryllis
|
| You’re still surprising the night
|
| Like a Christmas Amaryllis… |
