Spring is Coming
by Steven Curtis Chapman

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

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

Spring is coming
Spring is coming
And all we've been hoping and longing for
Soon will appear
Spring is coming
Spring is coming
And it won't be long now
It's just about here

Spring is coming
(Out of these ashes, beauty will rise)
Spring is coming
(Sorrow will be turned to joy)
And all we've been hoping and longing for
(All we long for)
Soon will appear
(Soon will appear)
Spring is coming
(Out of the darkness, beauty will shine)
Spring is coming
(All above in heaven, rejoice)
It won't be long now
(Spring is coming soon)
It's just about here
(Spring is coming soon)
