Spring of Sod and Soul (Happy March!)

Okay, in Ontario we are not quite 

at the verses below yet,

but here's hoping, soon! 

See! The winter is past;

the rains are over and gone.

Flowers appear on the earth;

the season of singing has come,

Song of Solomon 2:11-12

 

Just as the warmth of sun can melt cold winter from earth’s slope 

Thus, the kind grace of God can pierce soul’s dark with Light of hope 

And just as spring brings back bud-beauty of the blossomed limb 

So too God replenishes gladness when we trust in Him 

And just as spring whispers deep in the chill of dormant sod 

So too, the heart is reawakened ‘neath the touch of God
