After the Winter.....God Sends the Spring
Springtime is a season Of Hope and Joy and Cheer, There's beauty all around us To see and touch and hear... So, no matter how downhearted And discouraged we may be, New Hope is born when we behold Leaves budding on a tree... Or when we see a timid flower Push through the frozen sod And open wide in glad surprise Its petaled eyes to God... For this is just God saying-- "Lift up your eyes to Me, And the bleakness of your spirit, Like the budding springtime tree, Will lose its wintry darkness And your heavy heart will sing" -- For God never sends the Winter Without the Joy of Spring.
