Lyrics
There is silence around me
In the peaceful winter night
From the church down in the valley
I can see the candle light
And I stopped for a moment
In this winter paradise,
When I heard a choir singing
Through the darkness and the ice
And the rays from the lights behind
The window's vaulted frames
Have united the souls in hope
That something great is waiting
And I know that those who have left us here
Had the same thoughts as I
We are like flames in the darkness
And stars up in the sky
And I can see how they sparkle,
As they fade before my eyes
And the truth is coming closer
Like a wonder in disguise.
We are caught here for a moment
Like an imprint of a hand
On an old and frosted window
Or a footprint in the sand
For a while, I'm eternal
That's the only thing I know
I am here and we share our dreams
About our destinations
It is cold out here, the snow is white
But I am warm deep inside,
I am warm cause I know that
My faith will be my guide
Now there is silence around me
I have heard those words again
In a hymn of grace and glory,
Saying nothing is in vain
I can sing and I believe it,
Let the message reach the sky
Oh silent night, let your promise never die
And I long for the others,
It is peaceful in the church,
He was born for a purpose,
And that's why we're here together
Holy night, I feel like a child inside,
And believe he was sent
So I'm lighting a candle
each Sunday in Advent
