Sprung from Thee
By: Bill Yoh
We see you peek, green shoots long months, fallow
Where did life dwell, in dark, blind from vision
Blurry return, glory kingdom – evr’one
Rested, new birth, greetings, hearty hallow
Behold tanager, cardinal, robin, sparrow
Calls and colors, lament, bright hymn begun
Anew, dawn’s light melds with our charge, dominion
For us, this land, these things we think we know
From thee, Dear God, from dust to dust translated
You say abad – to work and till and serve
Yet we contort and claim, judgy, what nerve
We take, we use, who cares, your plan not heeded
May we see our error, mind our brash tongue
To love and care, Lord dwells, sarx you have sprung
