THE PROMISE
Silently beneath the ground,
A seed lays still and cold;
Yet there within the tiny seed,
Is Promise yet untold.
The Promise of the springtime,
Of fragrant sweet perfume;
Is there within the tiny seed,
In the Promise of the bloom.
Silently behind the stone,
A man lays cold and still;
Yet there within the silence,
Is the Promise of God's will.
The Promise of Salvation,
For the heart of every man;
Laying there within the tomb,
Is the Promise of God's plan.
The tiny seed, the silent tomb,
The new life each will bring;
Will both burst forth in splendor,
With the Promise of the spring.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation;
old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new.
