Snowdrops

 

"One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;

that I may dwell in the house of the LORD

 all the days of my life,

 to behold the beauty of the LORD, 

and to inquire in his temple" 

Psalm 27:4

"Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord”

John 20: 20

SNOWDROPS

Little white snowdrops, pure, fresh and sweet,

Cheering our hearts when their beauty we meet.

Our gracious Creator sends them to bring

A message of hope, the first sign of spring.

When everything seems so dark, cold and dead,

Snowdrops arise from their hard, frosty bed!

Ice, wind and rain, they come shining through,

When all appears lifeless, up springs life anew!

Thus too as we labour beneath life's dark skies

God causes new hope, joy and comfort to rise,

Just when it seems dark days never cease

Our sure consolation in Christ doth increase.

As we catch a new glimpse of His glory and light;

We rejoice in the Saviour, and all is made right.

If snowdrops so pretty can cheer up our hearts,

Much more the Lord Jesus true gladness imparts

Let us eagerly study the Scriptures each day,

Praying as we read them that truly we may

See the King in His beauty, and majesty bright,

Grow ever more like Him, our soul's chief delight!

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass 

the glory of the Lord, are

 changed into the same image from glory to glory, 

even as by the Spirit of the Lord

  2 Corinthians 3:8
