I remember the first time i ever saw snow.. it was like 2 and a half years back i think.. in Tasmania.. winter was actually over, but surprisingly there was still snow in certain parts of Tasmania.. It was a wonderful surprise!! Certainly made things a whole lot more interesting! Anyway, it was beautiful.. so white and bright.. when the light shines on it, i can't help but squint my eyes coz it's just so bright! Taking a photo in the day is like a photo in heaven.. everything just becomes so bright.. But you know, the snow there was horridly dirty.. coz of the cars and people etc.. when u look real close, it's not nice at all.. but still was gd enough for me.. i cna't imagine the snow u find on a mountain top without the pollution.. must be even 'whiter' than what i saw. Anyway, weeks later i came across a verse in the Psalms about being cleansed whiter than snow.. and i was like... wow! whiter than snow!! That's incredible!! How could i ever be like that.. with all my faults and errors and sin. But that's how clean Jesus' blood makes me.. and i was inspired to write this song..
Whiter than Snow
I was drowning in my sin
In the pleasures of this world
And I found myself in sinking sand
Yet You took me in Your arms
Despite everything I've done
I'm in love with You my Jesus
And in awe of You I sing
Holy are You
The Lord God Almighty
I bow to You
I'm here by Your mercy
Holy You came
The Lamb that was slain
Lord Your blood has made me clean
I'm whiter than snow
I join with the angels in giving You praise
I stand in wonder, such wonderful grace
In Your sweet presence, I've nothing to fear
You are my Saviour, my hope is in You
