Fall and Redemption

I love the fall. It is awesome to see the leaves all change from green to brilliant oranges, reds, yellows and then brown. I love this time of year because for some reason it always seems like a season of hope. Yes winter is coming. The cold, the ice, the snow. But it reminds me that we have forgiveness of sins from God.

The Bible says that "His mercies are new every morning." In the fall the old leaves fall to make room for the new in the spring. Winter comes and everything seems to be cleansed by the bright whiteness of it all. I thank God for His grace and mercy that He gives to us every day.

This is the song written by Fanny Crosby in 1887.

“Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they be red like crimson,
They shall be as wool!”
“Though your sins be as scarlet,
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow,
They shall be as white as snow.”

Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
He is of great compassion,
And of wondrous love;
Hear the voice that entreats you,
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
O return ye unto God!

He’ll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more;
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more;
“Look unto Me, ye people,”
Saith the Lord your God!
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more,
And remember them no more.
