On this July summer morning I’m going to take a guess that the temperature is very warm.  As the day progresses you may be sweltering in the heat.  If not today, then on many of the days in July. Perhaps if we picture scenes of snowy winter days, it may have a cooling effect.  I can only hope.

One of my favorite hymns expresses the thought, “White As Snow.”   The text, which speaks of forgiveness, is based on Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

White As Snow, White As Snow,
Though My Sins Were As Scarlet Lord,
I Know, Lord I Know That I’m Clean And Forgiven,
Through The Power Of Your Blood,
Through The Wonder Of Your Love;
Through Faith In You I Know
That I Can Be White As Snow.

So come, let’s rejoice in our redemption through the blood of Him who loves us unconditionally.  And while we’re at it, a few snow scenes may help too.  This rendition is sung by the Maranatha Singers.  It begins as an instrumental version, but hang in there, the singers will join in.
