A blanket of white lies over the land
It drifts down from the Masters Hand
Through the woods and over the trails
Out in the pasture and into the dales

Covering the roads with it's flakes
It also falls into the ponds and the lakes
Makes everything look fresh and new
As you look from every angle of view

Tree branches laden and hangin' low
Holding their part of the falling snow
The ball field is covered, no practice today
The kids are at home and will ride on their sleigh

Out in the road the deer turn and look
Startled they jump and run toward the brook
But the eye of my camera caught them just right
Before they took off in a frightened flight

I stand here in this beautiful world of white
My heart is filled with wonder and delight
A time and place where I've never been
But I know for sure I'll come here again

Romans 5: 8-9
But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his
blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
