A few days back my Pause for Prayer centered on needing some warmth in this season of snow and ice. A faithful reader connected me to a song I'd not heard before, "Hymn of Promise." For those of us looking for the promise of spring in the dead of winter, this is a beautiful song, perfect for pausing for prayer today...
| Hymn of Promise - by Natalie Allyn Wakeley Sleeth |
In the bulb
there is a
flower; in the
seed, an apple
tree;
In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be, Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody; There’s a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; In our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity, In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. |
