Heaven has a way of making things white,
As it did with snow last night.
The ground which it found,
It covered with down.
Heaven has a way of making things white.

If God can do so much with a little bit of slush,
Tell me, what can He do with a soul?
The world that was gray and black and brown
(Although on these colors I do not frown)
If God can turn it white, yes whiter than down,
Tell me, what can He do to a soul?
Heaven has a way of making things bright,
Greater light by day, and lesser light by night.
Heaven is the source of all purity and light;
Let heaven into your soul.
And see what the Creator, the glorious Emancipator,
Can do for your ever-living soul. –eab, 11/71
