let all the Church be part of it!
The world has changed,
and God is at the heart of it!
New light, new day,
new colour after winter grey.
New light, new day--
the spring has come,
let all the Church be part of it!
2 The sun is warm,
let all God's children play in it!
The world expands,
let's spread the Gospel way in it!
New leaf, new thrust,
new greening for the love of Christ.
New leaf, new thrust,
the sun is warm,
let all God's children play in it!
3 The spring has come,
new people are the flowers of it.
Through wind and rain,
new life is in the showers of it.
New bud, new shoot,
new hope will bear the Spirit's fruit.
New bud, new shoot,
the spring has come,
new people are the flowers of it. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Gospel Call; Spring Used With Tune: VERVACITY
