"The Majesty of the Snow"

The majesty of a Savior who can take all our sins away
I saw You, God, in every snowflake that fell this beautiful day!!

The majesty of the new fallen snow as far as the eye could see
Oh, but a reminder of God's purity, revealed to you and me

He can take the ugliness of this world and paint it with His loving hand
The whiteness of God's beautiful snow is shown to every single man.

Oh, that I had wings to soar, like the dove that sits close by
Does the dove possess God's love as it flies across the sky?

"I saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove". (John 1:31)
This falling descending snow, compares with my Savior's love

His love descends down to us and measures every single taker
Only God, can explain the beauty that descends from our heavenly Maker

May we ever realize the beauty of the pure white snow,
Soon it will be gone away to places we can never know

The majesty of it all flows through each and every part of me
"Thank You, Precious Lord from the heights of heaven to the deepest sea!"
Thank You, Lord, for the inspiration to write. I give You the Praise!
