Spring is a Promise - A Psalm of Praise

Preface - This is a poem I wrote in April, 2020 while I was working at a remote drive-thru as a bank teller. I felt trapped and the world felt like it was falling apart, but the blossoms of a dogwood tree in the parking lot were a reminder that God was still in control.


Nothing can stop what God has set in motion

His covenant still stands

His unfailing promise will be fulfilled

Though our plans may fail and falter away

God’s plan remains

Though our desires may be left unsatisfied

God’s will is the only thing that satisfies

His good, perfect and pleasing will


Though time feels frozen still

Like a cold winter chill

The flowers still bloom

The birds still sing

The sun still rises

The rain still falls

The seasons still change

God’s promise remains


Winter has passed, spring is here

As a reminder of God’s promise for us

We have a hope and a future

And just like the seasons

Nothing can stop what God has set in motion

His covenant still stands

His unfailing promise will be fulfilled


His word does not go out void

He spoke galaxies and wonders into existence

He breathed life into humanity

The ones he affectionately calls His children

His voice is powerful

His breath gives life

In this God I put my trust

Creator God

Faithful God

All-knowing, all-loving

Almighty God

To You alone I give my praise

In You alone I put my trust

Because when all else fades

Your promise remains
