“No death was not my plan” God said 
When Adam chose the names for beasts 
When I in secret fashioned Eve 
While He lay fast asleep 

Now when Spring seems far away 
And under snow the garden sleeps 
Remember that in frozen ground 
The Tulip’s promise keeps 

For as the last frost leaves the earth 
The flower finds its way 
And just as Jesus rose from death 
It breaks through to sunny day!

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
