Springtime in my Soul By Brenda Drake

Easter-time is like springtime – everything starts new again
The air smells fresh and sweet; and new life begins.
Birds sing it seems without tire.
Trees are clothed beautifully, as the sun warms its fire.
The world has new freshness it seems in Spring;
As all creation bows before the King.
Easter-time is like springtime in my soul.
Since I met Jesus, I am new and whole
Because of His sacrifice for me,
Now my heart is able to sing.
I am warmed by His love and clothed with righteousness,
Because, of His victory over death.
“He is risen! He is risen!  He is alive,” I can shout.
He has forgiven me and has cast my shame out.
I stand before Him with faith in my eyes,
No longer disgraced and despised.
I am new and fresh, because of His love and care,
The Easter-time message with another I am able to share

Song 2:11-12
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
