One Winter's Night

Here is the song Ross wrote for Christmas this year.

How wilt thou ever find us, Love

When we will not be seen

How wilt thou find us from above

As we still hide from thee

How wilt thou save us from ourselves

When we will not let go

How wilt thou ever find us well

Unless thou make us so


If only that which is assumed

Could ever be redeemed

Then come to us within a womb

Be born and wash our feet

And not our feet alone we pray

But everything we know

That thou O Love would come and stay

And all our sorrows go


O Love, make a way

Come and find us

Search the darkness light the way

Come and guide us home

Yet thou will not be welcomed here

Still Love, please come and be

Our refuge, wipe away our tears

Though we will murder thee

For darkness only turns to day

If you become the night

And we on you our darkness lay

That it be swallowed in light


Blessed One, born today

Come and find us

Search our darkness light the way

Come and guide us home

O the sunrise seems so far away

Find us, Child of Bethlehem

Find us here the Son of Man

One winter’s night

Begins eternal summer morn

If only you are born


The gods we trusted and became

Will find no solace here

Beside his creatures low and lame

The Son of God appears

A thousand years of “progress” past

A million hearts beguiled

Now Love alone will reign and last

Within one little child

Blessed One, born today

Come and find us

Search our darkness light the way

Come and guide us home

One winter’s night

Begins eternal summer morn

If only you are born
