Let It Snow

“Come, now, let us reason together,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow...” (Isaiah 1:18)

Let It Snow

Let it snow, O God.

I love the snow, 

   especially when I don't have to drive.

The snow is beautiful as it covers the ground, 

   the trees, 

      the bushes.

The pure whiteness of a freshly-fallen snow 

   stirs my heart with awe and wonder 

   at your majesty and glory.

The light of the sun is magnified tenfold 

   when the snow reflects it; 

   its brilliance is stunning.

Let it snow, O God.

Let it snow on my heart.

Cover my sins with a blanket of purity.

Make my heart beautiful as the freshly-fallen snow.

Take my life, 

   and make me into someone 

   who reflects your light to the world around me.

Let it snow on my heart.

Let it snow, O God.
