How beautiful
This morning scene
The breath of spring
In hues of green
How uplifting
With voice they raise
Birds fill the air
With songs of praise
How glorious
These colors bright
And longer days
In rays of light
How inspiring
This morning here
That plant the seed
In words of prayer
Here in this morning
With warm light adorning
Come draw the first breath of spring
Here in the air
To hear it sung clear
The song returning birds sing
Here in the ground
Such beauty abounds
In the colors that new flowers bring
Here is the prayer
For all souls to share
In the new life of Christs offering
Rounding here the corner
A great surprise to bring
Announcement to proclaim
The great prophets of spring
In community gathered
A gift from the earth
The beautiful declaring
A season of rebirth
The wise to respond
To this blessed insight
To prepare our soul
And turn to the light
From daffodils to souls
Let all creation pray
The great hope of the rising
Of Christ on Easter day
With each sunrise
Outpouring of light
Each day becomes
Just a little more bright
A gaze in the field
Slight change in the scene
The pasture becomes
Just a little more green
With each passing year
Let the Spirit advise
Then we’ll become
Just a little more wise
Through our daily prayer
In the soul is shown
That Your love becomes
Just a little more known
Through winter we endured
Bulbs planted in the earth
Such joy that it would bring
To see the flowers birth
When the birds return
Warming light shines through
Trees of blossom bloom
Can’t help but think of you
For how it warmed your soul
Such joy that you’d bring
Your memory entwined
For you are of the Spring
A pain deep in my heart
One of missing you
But let your lessons shared
Brighten up our view
We’ll hang some Easter eggs
Decorations share
And we will celebrate
You joy within us here
And so you return
My friend of the Spring
Your blossoms of beauty
With joy that you bring
Another year older
A grander display
Pronouncement of joy
In your humble way
Bursting of praise
Of Creator reflect
Only His purpose
This soul affect
Soon to let go
Of season to be
Encouragement blessed
For all souls to see
Something in the air
Within this new morning
Familiar to the soul
Is the first breath of Spring
A touch upon the skin
Warms with hearts delight
Raising Spirits hope
In shift of seasons light
A tune upon the breeze
Carries one along
Stirring inner joy
That of a new birdsong
Encouragement of way
Gifts to soul instill
A rising that will be
A promise He’ll fulfill
It seems overnight
A change in the scene
Spring has matured
In fullness of green
Gone are the blossoms
That sang in the air
Echoes of joy
In heart remain there
Into the season
Of plantings of birth
One of the living
The fruit of the earth
So with our being
Of Easters joy shown
Into the sharing
Of our Lord love known
Sweet song of bird echoes
In the hollow deep
Soul at rest consuming
Pleasure of heart keep
One of celebration
Joy within our song
Blossom of tree bursting
Joins as well along
Daffodils of turning
A yellow trumpet sounds
Silent beauty whispers
Of offering abounds
Praise is our song lifting
As one we contemplate
The glory of Creator
One of love so great
