Springtime: A Time for Growing
by Deborah Smith Plemmons

There was a time and a reason,
Why God made the four seasons.
In His time, He made everything;
Even the season we call spring.

Lo, winter is over and now is past.
The snow has come and gone at last.
It is time for the sun to be glowing.
Now is the time for things to be growing.

Awake! little flowers from your rest.
Awake! little birdies in your nest.
Grow little blooms on the trees so fine.
Grow little grapes, the fruit of the vine.

There was a time and a wonderful plan,
Why God made a living soul, man.
God walked in the garden with man each day,
But man fell into sin and went his own way.

Lo, God sent His Son to die on the cross,
That mankind would not be eternally lost.
Jesus paid the price; just repent and believe,
And the full pardon of sin you will receive.

Awake! little Christian, and be thou blessed,
For in your heavenly Father, you'll find rest.
Grow little Christian, and you'll do fine;
Just bring forth fruit for the true Vine.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2; Song of Solomon 2:12-13; John 15:1&5.
