Driving to meeting this morning, Wayne I were talking about how pretty the light green hills of spring were this lovely Lord's day. Then he said, "Every one of those leaves are brand new, they've never been here before." I do love that man! And his comment prompted me to think on and write these lines.
A NEW LIFE
Gentle green hangs on the breeze
Floating softly through the trees;
Branches bathed in budding light
Bring to Spring their lovely sight.
Every leaf is shiny, new
Moist with gentle rain and dew –
Tender growth lately alive
Breaking out, with Joy revived.
Resurrection, Praise His name!
Here on earth His power proclaims
Once again with gilding ray
Winter’s night has turned to day.
Gentle green is born again
Hope and glory grandly reign;
Singing forth, sweet blooms and birds
Declare their anthems without words.
Beauties wrought by His design
Mark afresh that place in time
Where life returns again to bless
His world in Grace and Righteousness.
Gentle green whispers of Love
Spread in mercy from Above –
A timely summons gently borne
On wings of Spring for everyone!
See now the promise of the Lord
Believe and trust his Precious Word,
As surely as these gentle greens
Our souls will prosper – born again.
Not just in seasons come and gone,
Not here upon this plane alone –
We’ll find eternal life and bliss
In Heav’nly Light greater than this.
