Spring Renewal

Song of Solomon 2:10-12

Rise up O my love and come away with me,
The winter is past and weather not gloomy;
The flowers bloom as the birds are singing,
At night the sound of the bullfrogs voicing;
Spring comes throughout this land of ours,
Let us rejoice and praise God for hours.
This is truly a beautiful time of the year,
When the sun melts each and every fear;
Thawing of a frozen ground for to grow,
All of God's vegetation in a radiant glow;
A time of love and our faith have rebirth,
As color returns to the face of the earth;
A time for renewing strength and spirit,
Crawling out of places where we inhabit;
The time of year that we see all anew,
As God keeps His promise for to renew;
A time of year to restore joy and peace,
As the hostile emotions begin to decrease;
As the weather has changed for the good,
Still remember the Lord as you should.
