Creation spreads its springtime bloom; Life bursts like flame from death’s cold tomb.
Words in a verse of an Easter hymn (420 in CH4) we started our service with last Sunday.
A few weeks ago at the start of Lent we spoke of the ‘little springtimes’ of our lives, those moments that light up our path and help us to see God more clearly; the moments that give us courage to continue on the journey set before us.
So easy to look down at our feet, looking for the pot holes and stumbling places and not lift our eyes to see the view in front of us.
Then this hymn reminds us that at Easter we celebrate the biggest springtime of all, Christ’s resurrection. New life bursting out and changing everything.
