Springtime
Chris Renzema's 'Springtime' is a worship song that uses seasonal imagery to celebrate spiritual renewal and resurrection. The lyrics contrast winter and death with spring and new life, emphasizing that Christ's victory over death brings hope and restoration. The song speaks of God's love as life-giving, like springtime, and expresses a longing for spiritual growth, comparing the soul to a garden that God tends. It encourages believers to sing a new song of praise, as death is defeated and life returns. The theme of resurrection is central, with clear references to Easter hope and the transformative power of God's love.
You're the resurrection
That we've waited for
You buried the night
And came with the morning
You're the King of Heaven
The praise is Yours
The longer the quiet
The louder the chorus
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
We will sing a new song
'Cause death is dead and gone with the winter
We will sing a new song
Let "Hallelujah's" flow like a river
We're coming back to life
Reaching toward the light
Your love is like springtime
You're the living water
God, we thirst for You
The dry and the barren
Will flower and bloom
You're the sun that's shining
You restore my soul
The deeper You call us
Oh, the deeper we'll go
We will sing a new song
'Cause death is dead and gone with the winter
We will sing a new song
Let "Hallelujah's" flow like a river
We're coming back to life
Reaching toward the light
Your love is like springtime
Come tend the soil
Come tend the soil of my soul
And like a garden
And like a garden I will gro-o-o-ow
I will gro-o-o-ow
Come tend the soil
Come tend the soil of my soul
And like a garden
And like a garden I will gro-o-o-ow
I will gro-o-o-ow
I will gro-o-o-ow
I will gro-o-o-ow
We will sing a new song
'Cause death is dead and gone with the winter
We will sing a new song
Let "Hallelujah's" flow like a river
We're coming back to life
Reaching toward the light
Your love is like springtime
Like springtime
