When spring arrives with rays of hope,
we look to times of change.
As winter wains and melts away
flowers begin to bloom along the lanes.

We can feel it when that time has come
to tenderly ply the ground.
For God has placed within our hearts
the need to nurture the world around.

We're off to choose the perfect seeds
for just the perfect place.
Just as God plants seeds within
that will grow our lasting faith.

He waters them with loving care.
He showers them with grace.
Storms come and bring the needed rain
in just the perfect place.

Just as others took the time
to plant His seeds of faith in us.
He watches as we spread the seeds
carefully with love.

For if no seeds are planted
when the heart is ready to receive.
The chance will pass, the moment gone
missing the time they were ready to believe.

So, take a moment, gather seeds.
Spread them to the waiting hearts of spring.
Then pray and watch what God will do
as glorious, blooming faith He brings.

Plant Seeds of Faith!
