Spring is Coming

 When we chose this song last year for the video we made of our sweet Johnny, there was still hope in our hearts in the midst of our deep sadness.  As we are quickly coming up on his Birthday and then the day he passed, I just wanted to share with you the words of this song that spoke the words of our hope.  We ask that you keep us in prayer these next several weeks.  We are still healing, but choosing happiness when our hearts feel heavy.  We miss our little Johnny, but press forward with more hope than we thought possible.  God is carrying us, as He promised, and we do not feel alone.  Thank you all for your love, support and prayers. 

 Spring Is Coming

We planted the seed while the tears of our grief soaked the ground
The sky lost its’ sun and the world lost its’ green to lifeless brown
Now the chill in the wind has turned the Earth hard as stone
And silent the seed lies beneath ice and snow
And my heart’s heavy now, but I’m not letting go
Of this hope I have that tells me

(Chorus)
Spring is coming, Spring is coming
And all we’ve been hoping and longing for
Soon will appear
Spring is coming, Spring is coming
It won’t be long now
It’s just about here

Hear the birds start to sing
Feel the life in the breeze
Watch the ice melt away
The kids are coming out to play
Feel the sun on your skin
Growing strong and warm again
Watch the ground
There’s something moving
Something is breaking through
New life is breaking through

Repeat Chorus

Spring is coming (Out of these ashes beauty will rise)
Spring is coming (Sorrow will be turned to joy)
All we’ve been hoping and longing for (All we’ve hoped for)
Soon will appear (soon will appear)
Spring is coming (Out of the darkness beauty will shine)
Spring is coming (All Earth and Heaven rejoice)
It won’t be long now (Spring is coming soon)
It’s just about here (Spring is coming soon)
