AS THE SPRING - Hannes Zegement Grove

AS THE SPRING

As the spring brings forth new blossoms
My heart and soul seeketh for happier songs
As nature begins to show her beautiful face
On my knees I fall begging the Lord for more grace
For this year only, winter and sorrow I kindly embraced

As spring makes the flowers sparkling and ready to glow
I only feel my heavy heart making warm tears on my face flow
These tears and pain is all that my weakened soul know
Now, that my Elijah is gone …
My soul wants this agony of the cruel winter undone

As the spring cometh so near very near
My body is aching more more of coming tears to bear
I can see my Lord, nature surrounding me exalting Thee
Please Lord have mercy upon me
I’ll still drink the cup Thou gavest me willingly
