Quiet and soft and slow.

This past Sunday at church, my friend from choir and her young voice student performed an unbelievably beautiful (better than the original, in my opinion) rendition of this song by contemporary Christian artist Audrey Assad. I am VERY picky about pop-y/contemporary religious music, but I think this is just gorgeous. Here's the best recording I could find, accompanied by someone's weird homemade video.

Lyrics:


"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

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

Falling, oh yeah, to the earth below
You came falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below"
