Amaryllis Story Renewed - Christy Nockels Lyrics

Talk about a winter the world had never known
And talk about a silence that hardened up the soul
No more life left in Eden, but You knew the time would come
Cause You were grown' up a family that You would call Your own
And through a fragile people, the Light of Life would come
When it seemed like we'd never see spring, heaven gave a king
And like an amaryllis
Bloomin' at Christmas
When everything was cold and dark
Your love broke through and You shine, oh, how You shine
With the brilliance of summer
Right in the middle of winter
You came surprising the night like a Christmas amaryllis
So here I am waiting in a winter of my own
If it's gonna be this cold here, why couldn't it just snow
Well, 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
And like an amaryllis
Bloomin' at Christmas
When everything is cold and dark
Your love breaks through and I shine
I shine for You, with the brilliance of summer
Right in the middle of winter
Somehow surprising the night like a Christmas amaryllis
Oh, there are the rare and beautiful treasures that grow when it's coldest
When nobody's watching, is sending a message
To a sinkin' world that You are here with us now
And You are makin' all things new again
Like an amaryllis
Bloomin' at Christmas
When everything is cold and dark
Your love breaks through and You shine
Oh, how You shine, with the brilliance of summer
Right in the middle of winter
Ever surprising the night like a Christmas amaryllis
Cause You're still surprising the night like a Christmas amaryllis
