LORD OF WINTER

"Wrong will be right when Aslan comes in sight.

At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more

When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death

And when he shakes his mane

We shall have spring again."

The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe.

C.S.Lewis

- image by my son Ron-

Lord of Winter

With his breath

Melts the ice

of sin and death

He sends the snow like white wool

Displaying the power of his word

When he releases his powerful command

Against the cold

Who can stand?

Jesus fulfills God's mighty law

His grace alone

Creates the thaw

When sin allures in pleasant shapes

I am protected with his grace

Repentant tears melting frost

Reflect the glory of the cross

Lord of Winter

With his breath

Melts the ice

of sin and death

North winds across me blow

I heard his voice, like falling snow

Calling me back from the north wind

I turned back to him away from sin

He wiped the tears from my face

His arms circled me with his grace

Lord of Winter

You freeze and thaw

With grace you fulfilled

The mighty law

Oh Lord Jesus with your mighty hand

You lifted me up

You helped me stand

Hail hurled at me like mighty stones

Were stopped by grace

By grace alone

Lord of Winter

With his breath

Melts the ice

Of sin and death

/j.smith 2022

"He sends his orders to the world

How swiftly his word flies!

He sends the snow like white wool;

He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes

He hurls the hail like stones

Who can stand against the freezing cold?

Then at his command it all melts

He sends his winds, and the ice thaws"

(Psalm 147: 15-18)
