Eternal Spring
As the tree looks almost dead
in winter months, I know instead,
it holds a secret—yet unseen.
When comes the spring, its life has been
holed up inside and waiting for
the call of God—leaves to restore.
To break the hold of winter’s grasp,
God brings forth life, as springtime laughs.
So too, will I laugh and rejoice!
When I am gone, I’ll raise my voice
to praise My Savior, lift His name—
who for His love for sinners came
to live on earth, to die for us,
to resurrect! In Him I trust.
This dead tree, full of selfishness,
is cleansed and free! I must confess—
He kept His promise of new life! ¹
Through faith in Him, I’m done with strife.
Just as the Savior rose from death,
I’ll do so—after my last breath. ²
Spring’s reminder, Easter morn,
gives hope to all who are reborn. ³
Eternal spring—my destined way,
I’ll see no more, a winter day!
