O Winter! You who have blanketed the land in snow, Locking away life in slumber. You who have locked the land in chill, Slowing the growth of all. I come to you now, Come to send you to your deserved rest. I come to you now, And bring forth the brilliance of new birth. O Spring! Come forth, who color the flower! O Spring! Come forth, who unfurl the leaf! O Spring! Come rushing back to this land, and may all be in awe of its splendor!

I dove into the deepest sea, and on the floor, your love was still there. I climbed the highest mountain, gazed to the sky, and your love was still there. I sunk to the lowest hell, consorted with the devil, and your love was there. I rose to heaven itself, sung glories with the angels, and your love was there. The deepest dark, your love is there. The brightest light, your life is there. Wherever I go, your love is there. May your love forever be there, Like manna in the desert And nourish my very soul.

I feel the earth tremble. I don't even have a chance to flinch. I feel my core get soaked through. I feel you pour our all your love Right on to me. Oh, how it makes me feel alive.

I long to keep soaring Dodge the clouds Soak up the sun I long to keep holding Feel your heart Hear your voice To hear your voice As mine echos yours "I love you"

Wind battered me Rain washed my face Blurred my vision I struggled against this Trying to forge my way through life. The mud stuck to my shoes They sucked at my body Tried to pull me under Tried to consume me And I thought all was lost to me. But then I felt a presence A presence that called to me I looked up and I saw your face You reached out to me Told me to take your hand And together we've taken flight And, I pray with everything I have, That we will never stop flying. I want to fly with you, forever. I want to see every sight in my life, with you. I want to experience everything, with you. I want the flame burning i

The world around seems dark as I sit in a chair. What once was precious is tarnished and rusted. The stone and file rest awkward in my hand and I begin to work. strike strike strike The pieces of rust they are flecks on the earth. A little light comes through enough to encourage but not enough for glory. Strike Strike Strike The stone and file are more familiar now I wield them with ease as more rust falls And my precious thing it begins to shine A few come to the light' and watch mildly amazed at the sight and it fills me with hope as I continue to work.

I had released my bird in the world And she did not return I was afraid she was gone forever She would never sing for me again But lo, what is this? In my darkest hour, what is this? Song fills my ear The flutter of wing And twitter of song My bird has returned to me I hope you stay with me forever I hope you stay and sing forever
