First Day of Spring



I wanted to share one of my favorite all time Christian songs. "Every Season" by Nichole Nordeman is one of the most beautiful songs. Just like the words in the song...even as God is changing the season...he is also changing us. Such a beautiful thought :)
[The song should be playing on my playlist at the bottom of the page.]

Every Season

By Nichole Nordeman

Every evening sky, an invitation

To trace the patterned stars

And early in July, a celebration

or freedom that is ours


And I notice You In children’s games I

n those who watch them from the shade

Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder

You are summer


And even when the trees have just surrendered

To the harvest time

Forfeiting their leaves in late September

And sending us inside


Still I notice You when change begins

And I am braced for colder winds

I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come

You are autumn


And everything in time and under heaven

Finally falls asleep

Wrapped in blankets white, all creation

Shivers underneath


And still I notice you

When branches crack

And in my breath on frosted glass

Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter

You are winter


And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced

Teaching us to breathe

What was frozen through is newly purposed

Turning all things green


So it is with You

And how You make me new

With every season’s change

And so it will be

As You are re-creating me

Summer, autumn, winter, spring


Warmest,
