I’ve sung words of theology
And songs of doctrine too
But the song that I most love to sing gets personal
Much of what I’ve sung before
Seemed to be more in my head
But now I feel the difference
I’m singing in my heart singing in my heart instead
For winter has been and gone
Springtime has come
Love’s been awakened in me
And You’re the one
You’re the one
How do I put into words
What Your love is like
It’s like Father love and Mother love
All rolled into one
The lover that You are to me
The friend You have become
You’re the place I find my rest
How do I describe what is so personal
For winter has been and gone
Springtime has come
Love’s been awakened in me
Winter has been and gone
Springtime has come
Love’s been awakened in me
And You’re the one
You’re the one
Joanne Hogg
