In the winter after Christmas,
the night after the lights come down
In the barrens after feasting
the silence when the music ends
This is when it really matters
this is when we need to believe
That what has come to pass in us
is stronger than January.
That daily He abides within
the dirty stable of our hearts
to wake, and live, and die with us
to go down and to rise with us.
