Saturday Songs -18- "The Winter Is Past"

"The Winter Is Past"

   
    Friends: The area in Virginia where we hiked last week, Grayson Highlands National Park, has experienced a long and cold winter.  For us, however, the weather was warm, and the winter has indeed passed.  This song is about that, recorded many years ago, and speaks to our Lord taking us through challenging seasons, but always bringing us forth into His springs.  I hope you find it encouraging.  Glen




The Winter is Past
Words and Music by Glen Davis

Sometimes the winter seems so cold and deep,
Sometimes we wonder, will there ever be a spring?
Sometimes our hearts seem so broken and grieved,
Sometimes we wonder, Is there hope for me?
Is there hope, is there hope for me?

The winter is past, the flowers appear,
the time of the singing of birds is here.
The voice of the turtledove is heard in our land,
and our Beloved is at hand.

We must trust His heart, when we cannot see His hand.
When He seems so far apart, and we cannot understand.
For beneath the frozen shroud, a seed awaits new birth,
And life will once again appear, amid the dark and dearth…
life will once again appear, amid the dark and dearth.

The voice of my Beloved speaks and calls to me,
Rise up my love and come away, My glory you shall see.
And deep within my heart, His Spirit moves in grace,
I lift my head in wonder, and look upon His face
I lift my head in wonder, and I look upon His face.

The winter is past, the flowers appear,
the time of the singing of birds is here.
The voice of the turtledove is heard in our land,
Oh beloved, I am at hand,
Oh beloved, take My hand.
