Thank God For The Promise of Springtime.

Coming home yesterday from town my hubby pointed out to me a bare spot over there by the huge snow bank..

.............................and what did my two eyes see????  Nope no tiny reindeer.......but GREEN yes below that frozen snow look what appears

Thank you Jesus

   THANK GOD FOR SPRING lyrics.......sing on Cynthia Clawson sing on....

     The sky seems gray above me

      And I can't see the light of day

      There's a ray breaking through the shadows

       And the smile can't be far away

            (chrs.)

       Thank God for the promise of springtime

        Once again my heart will sing

        There's a brand new day a-dawning

         Thank God for the promise of spring

         Though the earth looks bleak and barren

          And the seeds they're brown and dead

           But the promise of life grows within them

           And I know spring is just ahead

Gifts given

Green so thankful for the color green

dirt how great it is...

tiny little blades of grass

water... Oh Lord what would we do with out you and all your many blessings...Thank you

God is good all the time

All the time God is good..

================================================================================woke and in my mind I was  singing this song ....

WHY 

We rode into town the other day
Just me and my Daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man
That my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said "Daddy, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows
Daddy, please can't you do something?
He looks as though He's gonna cry
you said he was stronger than all of those guys
addy, please tell me why
Why does everyone want him to die?"

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And Daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide

So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for My robe?
This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it shows
Father, please can't You do something?
I know that You must hear My cry
I thought I could handle the cross of this size
Father, remind Me why
Why does everyone want Me to die?
When will I understand why?"

"My precious Son, I hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe You in robes of My own
Jesus, this hurts Me much more than You know
But this dark hour I must do nothing
Though I've heard Your unbearable cry
The power in Your blood destroys all of the lies
Soon You'll see past their unmerciful eyes 

Look there below, see the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell You why
She is why You must die
