Still Whiter Than Snow

 

"Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord.
Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool."
Isaiah 1:18

"It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness
that we are not consumed, because His tender compassions
fail not.  They are new every morning; great and abundant
is Your stability and faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23

"Heavenward"

Yongsung Kim

What can be whiter than beautiful snow,

Coming from Heaven to earth below,

Pure and so white as it falleth light

Over this broad world of sin and of woe?

Yes, there is something still whiter;

Hearken ye weary, and know!

Tho' your sins be as scarlet red,

They shall be whiter than snow.

Jesus has died, and now all men may know

That His rich blood for the world did flow;

Saved we may be, and from sin set free,

Washed and made whiter than beautiful snow.

Yes, there is something still whiter;

Hearken ye weary, and know!

Tho' your sins be as scarlet red,

They shall be whiter than snow.

Beautiful souls of His saints here below,

What but His blood could have made them so?

All who believe shall His grace receive,

And be made purer than Heaven-born snow.

Yes, there is something still whiter;

Hearken ye weary, and know!

Tho' your sins be as scarlet red,

They shall be whiter than snow.

Come to this Savior! He surely doth know

All of your sorrow and sin and woe,

And when you sigh He will hear your cry,

Wash you more white than the beautiful snow.

Yes, there is something still whiter;

Hearken ye weary, and know!

Tho' your sins be as scarlet red,

They shall be whiter than snow.
