Spring
Blissfully the breeze
Dances through my hair
The smell of flowers
Fills the warm air
Leaves do sway
And sunshine streams
A spring day unfolds
As in radiant dreams
Such a gift from God
To see this Spring day
To experience the beauty
Of the world at play
The winter can be
Bitter and cold
Enthusiasm dwindles
Visions grow old
But then a taste
Of Spring appears
To renew our hopes
And allay our fears
Sweeter Spring is
Because winter came first
Water is sweeter
When in parched thirst
So too is salvation
When this we embrace
Sweet and triumphant
After all we did face
The contrast of Spring
With Winter before
Enhances its beauty
Yes, all the more
Spiritual birth glories
Beyond radiant Spring
Communing with God
Of this we do sing
As the breezes caress
And the sunlight warms
We celebrate God’s gifts
In all their forms
Most beautiful of all
Is the gift of His Son
The gift of true Life
For us He has won
Sing now the bird
And dance now the flower
I join God’s creation
Praising His power
So blessed am I
And you, sister and brother
Let’s praise our God
And uplift one another
Let Spring remind us
Of God’s Light and Love
Fixing our eyes on Him
And on His throne Above
