Song

White as the Snow

ForgivenessGraceGuiltShame

A wintry gospel confession that looks at scars, ashes, and self-made ruin—and then watches grace fall. It does not promise that we can shovel our way out of who we have been; it leads us to stand in the falling mercy of God and receive the new creation He gives.

"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
Isaiah 1:18

A song for the road you're on.

White as the Snow

[Verse 1]
I been carrying winter in the marrow of my bones
Walking every mile like I made it on my own
Every little scar was a story I rehearsed
Till the cold came clean and it buried all the worse

[Chorus]
Whatever I was, it ain't what I am
Scarlet went white when the cold rolled in
Lay me down low, cover me slow
Make me brand new, white as the snow

[Verse 2]
I was counting all the ashes of the fires I had lit
Trading every promise for another counterfeit
Then the sky broke open like a hand across the land
And it settled on the ruins till I couldn't see the sand

[Chorus]
Whatever I was, it ain't what I am
Scarlet went white when the cold rolled in
Lay me down low, cover me slow
Make me brand new, white as the snow

[Bridge]
You don't shovel your way out of who you've been
You just stand in the falling and let it win
Every field looks holy under one clean sheet
Even mine, even mine

[Final Chorus]
Whatever I was, it ain't what I am
Scarlet went white when You rolled in
Lay me down low, cover me slow
You made me brand new, white as the snow

[Outro]
White as the snow... white as the snow
