In the Bleak Midwinter

The picture this carol conveys real thoughts of frost biting hard with snow fallen all around just like a festive Christmas card Paints a picture God’s great far larger than earth so majestic but humbled came to a stable became man proving it all prophetic This is God who cherubim’s worship incessantly they do with no interruption but this Lord willingly lowered Himself not seeking man’s approval nor admiration When I sing this beautiful carol my mind considers God’s wondrous grace of turning my bleak midwinter life into glory desiring only His lovely face This is the one who’s my saviour who came here leaving heaven’s glory for my salvation becoming my substitute truly making my redemption story (‘In the Bleak Midwinter - written by Christina Georgina Rossetti.)
