In the warmth of the Spring I emerge from my sleep.
Such beauty awakens a slumber so deep.

 It all seems so lovely; It’s easy to live.
It’s easy to smile, To be loving and give.

 But soon I will find a hot Summer day.
The beauty of Spring has faded away. 

Replaced by such heat and drought in the land;
It’s easy to cry, and I pray Summer ends.

 Though long is the Summer, soon Fall breathes its breath;
And the beauty of color escapes nature’s shelf.

 The warmth of the sun with the crisp, chilly air
Makes it easy to worship; and I know God is there.

 I walk from such splendor to winter’s dark nights.
The days seem much shorter.  I long for the light.

 The cold wraps around me with fingers of ice.
It’s easy to wonder if it’s too great a price.

 But then I’m reminded Who’s guiding my path.
I see signs of Spring and know Winter won’t last.

 It takes all the seasons to turn me again
To see God as God, and not as a man.

 For God in His wisdom brings balance to me
And takes me through seasons in patterns I need.

 He teaches me trust as I cling to his hand.
He rewards me with peace when I walk in His plan.

 So, within me He builds to be more like Christ
As I walk through seasons each year of my life.
