Winter's Chill by Steve Green

Winter's Chill
by Steve Green

A glowing Christmas tree alight
The flicker of a flame
Feel strangely hollow on this night
As sorrow stakes its claim
Death has come to steal one more
And take life's breath away
Let's sit a while and grieve the wrong
Lamenting with a song

We knew this day would come
But never thought it'd be this soon
We're shaken by the sudden loss
And numbed by the news
In a moment life is gone
Our frailty feels more near
As Silent Night drifts soft and long
It mingles with our tears

Yet even in the chill of winter
Hope will not be lost
Death has been defeated by the cross
The Child of Bethlehem was born
The reign of darkness fell
Now in our deepest valley God's with us
Emmanuel
