April
Yes this is the April of our lives.
For a purpose we are given this moment, again and again.
For what purpose you may ask.
Look around. Have things not been dead and buried for a season?
Now it's time for those things to arise from the earth to bloom in
green and brilliant color.
It's time for the angels to roll the stone from the tomb.
What emerges is the birth of our salvation, beyond the beauty of
risen flowers that God has laid before our feet.
God has given life through death, if only we believe. How many
Aprils must we be shown these things, before there are none left to
us?
Hear the message, feel it in your soul.
Give God his due: accept life beyond death he has offered.
Savor the April gift of salvation. Arise with the Christ from the
tomb.
Yes, this is the April of our lives.
Yes this is the April of our lives.
For a purpose we are given this moment, again and again.
For what purpose you may ask.

Savor the April gift of salvation. Arise with the Christ from the
tomb.
Yes, this is the April of our lives.
