I Have Never Touched Snow

I have never touched snow
Nor seen it up close;
Felt a flake on my face;
Lived in a cold place.

Once or twice I have seen
Real snow white and clean,
Though I watched from afar;
From an airplane or car

I believe it must be
Quite awesome to see
All that pure white snow
On the ground below.

Does the star-kissed snow
Ever twinkle and glow?
Does it shimmer and shine
In the moonlight sublime?

I would like to touch
Real snow very much,
But it's not to be
At present for me.

I have never touched Jesus
Nor seen Him up close;
Seen Him face to Face;
Felt His loving embrace.

Once or twice I have seen
Heaven in a dream,
And I know it is there
But I do not know where.

I know it will be
Really awesome to see
Our Lord face to Face
In His heavenly Place.

I would love to touch
His Hand very much,
But it's not to be
At present for me.

Though I've never touched snow
It is cold, I know;
Though I've not seen our Lord
I believe in His Word.
