Fruit Bearing Time

 

It’s in the springtime, life returns to the dead,

The hungry and thirsty are sumptuously fed,

Heads bowed are being raised to God’s light once more,

To honour, and the Great Creator adore;

Today’s your springtime, don’t let it pass you by,

Your winter’s over, on the wings of faith fly,

A renewed, clean heart, Christ to you has given,

Revived in Spirit, bear the fruit of heaven.  

 

It’s springtime and colours are vivid and bright,

Darkness and gloom have given way to dancing light,

Furrows and worries that once marked the brow,

Have taken flight, they are not with you now;

Today’s your springtime don’t lose any of it,

Accept all that’s coming to you by the Spirit,

Resurrected life, to know God’s fruit released,   

Refreshed, to bear fruit of heaven, increased.   

Amen!
