Like Springtime

Like springtime, I am waiting to emerge

From winter's grip of frozen baronness

I long for sunshine once again to urge

The buds that lie within to their fullness

 


And He possesses all the strength I need

To bring forth blooms and nurture them to grow

His mercy primes and germinates the seed

Transfusing me with His life giving flow



He's washed me more completely than a flood

Then lifted me to peaks I could not climb

The awesome shedding of His precious blood

Has purchased my redemption for all time



In Him I find essential elements

That does supply my every living breath

For that, I owe Him highest reverence

Each moment of my life, and into death
