White as Snow

The world I awoke to
Full of fear and despair,
Held hostage our hopes,
It seemed with no care.

Then the snow that fell gently,
Told what Christ has done,
How God covered our sins
With the blood of his Son.

You see snow fell this morning
And covered the dirt,
It covered the earth,
Like Christ’s blood covers hurt.

But there ends the analogy,
For snow melts away,
The dirt still lies hiding,
To see the next day.

But our sin is erased,
Disappeared for all ages,
We can all start afresh,
Like a book’s crisp new pages.

This year we can see
Our new story unfold,
It will be a new start,
Not with patterns of old.

Those days are forgotten,
When we ask Jesus in,
He forgives all the past,
He covers over our sin.

We cannot predict,
What this year has planned,
But with God as our Father,
We are safe in his hands.

So call out to Jesus,
Ask him into your heart,
Make this new year,
Full of joy from the start.

  1. Today Friday September 15th 2023 (in the hebrew calendar 1 Tishrei 5784)
    which is Rosh HaShanah i.e. the Jewish New Year for Messianic Christian Jews,
    also known as The Festival of Trumpets.

    In the Bible the Old Testament tell us:
    Leviticus 23:23-25 NIV
    23 The Lord said to Moses,
    24 “Say to the Israelites:
    ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of sabbath rest,
    a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.
    25 Do no regular work, but present a food offering to the Lord.’”

    If you would like to know more about why Christian Messianic Jews celebrate today
    as their New Year, a good starting point for information is
