You 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 in an ocean to ravish our hearts;
You could've come through like a roaring flood
To wipe away the things we've scarred.
Oh, oh, but You came like a winter snow.
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.
Oh, yeah.
You came falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below.
