Searching through the ashes of eternity
Desperate to know I'm still alive
Is the world still turning?
Are the trees still blooming?
Or has all breathing stopped like the beating of my heart?
Crawling through the fragments of my broken soul
Desperate to find something real
Do you still love me?
Can you ever forgive me?
Or has your heart turned to stone because of my sins?

Somehow this blindfold is lifted off my eyes.
The contrast of sparkling snow and emerald grass
is finally visible.
For a moment i notice a small red stain
Destroying the ice crystals' purity.
A single tear freezes on my cheek
And the warmth of someone's love melts it off.
Snowflakes keep cascading down and swirling all around me
But He wraps His arms around my shoulders, blocking out the cold.
Glancing down I realize that the blood is almost gone
And suddenly He breaks the silence
As He whispers in my ear
"I love you," He kisses my cheek
"I forgive you," He hugs me tighter
"I love you"
And the snow has silently washed away my sins.
I break free and play in the frozen yard
As Jesus stands smiling at me
And I know in my heart that once again
I am whole.
