Little nut lying buried in the ground so forlorn
You are covered up and for now you seem gone
It looks like you’re defeated, maybe you’ve known
It’s fall in the air, the winter is coming on.

The wind through the limbs has made the leaves brown
The leaves are falling, now to the ground
A blanket, a covering, but what is shown?
Has something died, or does it live on?

You had your spring and soon summer so warm
You seemed so full of life, but now you’re gone
The fall was not bypassed, now winter seems so bold
Now you lie there seeming so cold.

Life has changed, every thing seems bare
Frozen in time, nature seems unfair
But if a seed is not planted, it cannot grow
Is that really a grave hidden by the snow?

Will this memory pass as I am told
There’s something eerie about the whiteness of snow
As we wait for the spring, time moves so slow
What is the mystery of the seeds that were sowed?

The tree that carried you will live on and on
It may look weak now, but really it is quite strong
It was before you, beneath it you will live on
You may fall to the ground and die, but there’s a germ.

And when spring comes, the sun will shine on
That germ will spring to Life, that now seems gone
Then we’ll know what tree it came from
You will grow like it, someday be strong.

Do you think you can destroy life that’s sown
In the resurrection power of Jesus Christ, God’s only Son
For nothing can be destroyed, even physics sings it’s song
It just changes form, it forever lives on.
