This is what happens when a lovely Christmas snow descends right before the Easter weekend.

--

As I walked through town today,
I looked around my world and thought,
“The snow had melted and yet still
it falls on us as though it’d not,”
for white were black streets all,
and homes and cars and shops.
And it occurred to me:
’tis here a lesson wrought:

for though we build our towers tall
and grow our empires, crown our kings
and though we fight to keep the peace,
greet all with smiles, and share our things,
man cannot measure up.
Instead, like snow He brings,
the Lord washes us clean
and covers us with His wings.

So dead in sins – in darkness lost,
attired in shame, and slaves to pride –
our only hope was One who would,
Himself sinless, give up His life
and take our sins away.
But the tale ends not here,
for up He rose again:
He’s the Victor, He’s alive!

As I walked through town today,
I looked around, drank in the sight,
“The snow had melted and yet still
it fell on us all through the night.”
Whiter than snow we are
for we have been made right
with God our great Father
through Jesus the Christ!

That's beautiful, Ariel!

Thank you, Jaygee!

I know this is an old thread - but, good use made of inspiration from some fascinating timing! I like how you make me picture the town you are walking through - all the buildings coated in Spring snow.

Thanks, Lily! It was quite the sight and inspiration hit so fast, I composed most of the first stanza between my car and the door at work!

Got to love it when the moment's right and inspiration strikes.
