Easter is soon here! What a blessed day. Through it, we gain life as we repent and give ourselves to him! Praise to his name!

A GREAT DEEP CHASM

In me is a great deep chasm,
darkness showing only death.
In it lives no God of glory,
only that which is of earth.

But the God of all creation
looked on earth, then he chose me.
out of love he touched my heart,
saved me and he set me free.

Someday soon that blessed Savior
comes again to take me home,
taking out the sin and evil
causing me from him to roam.

Filling up the great deep cavern
with his life and righteousness,
I will ever in his presence,
praise him for his holiness.

THE ICE STORM

snow, Uncategorized, winter, , ,

Winter is here with its cold and snow. Well, not so much snow this year, just lots of cold. I am reminded of a time many years ago of experiencing my first ice storm. I remember how beautiful it was, with everything coated in ice. It was not fun to be out there in the danger of tree branches giving way and ice threatening every step. My thought was: stay home and drink a hot cup of cocoa.

THE ICE STORM

Snow falls, the trees wear their blanket of white.
Rooftops are covered in canopy bright.

How lovely the sight of the new fallen snow.
Everything’s white and so clean. How it glows.

Winter winds blow; there’s a chill in the air.
Look all around; there’s ice everywhere!

Tree branches creak at their cold, icy guest.
The air cracks, the limb falls. They could not resist.

Roads glow with dark patches of glass no one sees
Until it’s too late. Drivers skid on the freeze.

Houses and cars become icicle farms,
Plying the world with diamond-like charms.

Sit back and relax as the snow keeps you home.
There’s nothing to do for once more winter’s come.
