THE KEEPER OF ALL SNOWS
O, the vast whiteness
of God's mercy
and quiet forgiveness
clean, sublime
blotting out all
sins of time
He who shapes
each snowflake
for his own
shall redeem us all
if we would only
let him
Finding ground as only he could
refining across acres and acres
of gently falling snow
from the lofty high gray clouds
sublimely claiming us
with his atoning blood
He reminds us of our blessings,
transgressions forgiven,
while reformed, saved
from the bondage of our sin,
Reclaimed, full of ransomed purity,
We are his
Praise be to the creator
and keeper of all snows
