Verse 1

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

Verse 2

'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

Chorus 1

Like an Amaryllis
Blooming at Christmas
When everything was cold and dark
Your love broke through
And You shined
Oh how You shined

Chorus 2

With the brilliance of Summer
Right in the middle of Winter
You came surprising the night
Like a Christmas Amaryllis

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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

Chorus 1

Like an Amaryllis
Blooming at Christmas
When everything is cold and dark
Your love breaks through
And I shine
Oh I shine for You

Chorus 2

With the brilliance of Summer
Right in the middle of Winter
Somehow surprising the night
Like a Christmas Amaryllis

Bridge

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

Chorus 1

Like an Amaryllis
Blooming at Christmas
When everything is cold and dark
Your love breaks through
And You shine
Oh how You shine

Chorus 2

With the brilliance of Summer
Right in the middle of Winter
Ever surprising the night
Like a Christmas Amaryllis

Tag

You're still surprising the night
Like a Christmas Amaryllis
