Spring is Coming

We planted the seed while the tears of our grief soaked the ground
The sky lost its sun, and the world lost its green to lifeless brown.
Now the chilling wind has turned the earth hard as stone
And silently seed rise beneath ice and snow
And my heart's heavy now
But I'm not letting go of this hope I have that tells me
Spring is coming,
Spring is coming
And all we've been hoping and longing for soon will appear
Spring is coming,
Spring is coming
It won't be long now, it's just about here

Hear the birds start to sing
Feel the life in the breeze
Watch the ice melt away
The kids are coming out to play
Feel the sun on your skin
Growing strong and warm again
Watch the ground
there's something moving
Something is breaking through
New life is breaking through

Spring is coming,
Spring is coming
And all we've been hoping and longing for soon will appear
Spring is coming,
Spring is coming
And it won't be long now, it's just about here

Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
Sorrow will be turned to joy
All we hoped for soon will appear
Out of the dark clouds, beauty will shine
All above in heaven, rejoice
Spring is coming soon
Spring is coming soon.

Isn't this beautiful?
Steven Curtis Chapman speaks truth yet again.
It's so easy to wallow, think there's nothing to hope for, see no light in front of you. But let me tell you, spring is coming. Spring is coming soon.
