Wintry Winds, Wondrous Word

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-Card!)

 

The wintry winds arrive

With forces swift and cold

The winds speak of cycles

Of patterns dating to old

 

 Spring, summer, soft and sweet

Have now come and passed

The season of endings has

Arrived here at last

 

Burying the earth in white

Nipping life with the freeze

What can we hear in her voice

The sound of the winter breeze?

 

For although the cold does brace

And the frost does sting

What is it in the winter

That makes the heart sing?

 

Sovereignty of God

In the patterns He does create

The cycles of spring to winter

Do never one year abate

 

And the world covered

With blankets deep and white

A picture of perfect purity

They do make for the sight

 

So in this season

Which buries grasses and flowers

God’s wondrous Word touches us

 In dancing flakes of snow showers

 

Just as Life came in Christ’s death

And new birth from burial deep

God whispers in the winter winds

Of precious Promises He does keep

 

So when the winter winds

Arrive and fiercely blow

We see promises of new life

In dancing wind drifts of snow

 

For God transforms the cold

And, to the dead, life He brings

So let us sing in the winter winds

Of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings
