Read your winter blog, and have written a little poem from a fellow wintertimer to remind us that spring inevitably follows winter, as He has promised in Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Hallelujah!
In the cold midwinter
Our soul frozen lies
Reflecting back the gloom
Of the never lightening skies
The heart seems trapped
In this season’s icy grip
The rhythms of life wind down
Like the final funereal trip
Yet hope springs eternal
As the Son bids us awake
Arise from our morbid slumber
Burdens from us He shakes
Little did we understand
That beneath the engulfing snow
His faithfulness was preparing
Abundant fruit to grow
As we recall winter’s chill
The brokenness of our lot
Now fully overwhelmed by
The bounty He has bought
So stoop we on bended knee
To lift others trodden down
And bid them rise to share
The Saviour’s golden crown!
