Nature – HOPE Refined

While Spring is just awaking
Above the frozen ground
And leaves are slightly breaking
Through buds that kept them bound

While birds are all returning
To sing their happy songs
The earth is gently turning
To where its course belongs

While flower bulbs are showing
Their green above the earth
And everything is growing
To offer hope’s rebirth

Our hearts can join the praises
And lift a joyful song
Which all creation raises
To God so wise and strong

Let’s take some time renewing
Our hope and joy in God
In faith and love reviewing
His beauty spread abroad

Is there an idea, theme, or Bible verse you’d like me to share a poem on? Tell me in the comments!

Every drop of water, every grain of sand,

Every ray of sunshine shows God’s mighty hand.

Every cricket’s chirping, every icicle,

Everything around us shows He’s beautiful.

Every cloud and rainbow, every butterfly,

Every tree and flower sings to God on high.

Every tiny creature, every mountain peak,

Everything around us leads our hearts to seek

One who formed each snowflake, made each fingerprint.

Mighty yet so tender – this is His imprint.
