There’s a particular stillness to a cold winter’s night — the kind where the air itself seems to be holding its breath, waiting.
My new Christmas song, In the Piercing Cold of Night, was born from that stillness. It’s a cinematic Christmas-pop carol that follows the road to Bethlehem: shepherds keeping watch under an open sky, startled by sudden glory; wise men leaving everything behind to follow a star across the miles; and at the end of the road, the quietest scene of all — no throne, no palace, only Mary, Joseph, and a manger.
Distant bells, delicate piano, sweeping strings, and a choir that carries the final chorus like good news shouted across the fields. And at its center, a tender invitation: come and see the little Child, kneel beside His bed, hear Him breathing. In the stillness of the stable, God has drawn so near.
In the Piercing Cold of Night releases November 11 on all streaming platforms, with a second version, A Christmas Carol, following on November 16. 🎄
