A Cold Winter Remedy
As believers seek always to walk
close to Christ as we can be
abiding in His inerrant holy word
meditate upon it to reverently agree
God gives to us His provision
to meet our needs whatever they are
sometimes things go so smoothly
other times it seems so slow by far
We need constantly to be in prayer
asking the Lord for more grace
so we can become so like Jesus
that others be attracted to His case
This grace doesn't do well in summer
it seems to not go down too deep
when things don't rough us up too much
our spirituality is like a wandering sheep
The best season for it to grow
is winter full of hardship and cold
there grace gets a real depth within
making sure we do as we're told
That old divine Samuel Rutherford
told it really truly so very well
grace grows indeed better in winter
then God works to make us gel

Grace grows better in winter - Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) Scottish presbyterian minister/theologian)
