Hymn of Promise

3   3   4     -4  5 -4  4  3
In the bulb there is a flower;
3   3   -4   5  -5 5   -4
In the seed, an apple tree
3   3  -3   4  -4 4   -3  3
In cocoons, a hidden promise:
 3  3  4     3    4   -4   5
Butterflies will soon be free
4   -3   5   6   -6  -5  6  4
In the cold and snow of winter
   4    4   -5    -5    5   -4 4
There’s a spring that waits to be
 4 -3  -3” 4 -5  -6  4 -3 4
Unrevealed until its season,
 -4   5   -5  5 -4  -4   4
Something God alone can see.


Verse 2:
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.

Verse 3:
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.
