Seasons of the Bride of Christ
Connie Peters and Darlene Franklin

The world wears white lace
Underneath a steel gray sky
Speaking the Lord’s grace     

Icicles weave silver thread
Winter’s gown for snow-cleansed bride 

Bright colors abound
Life bursts forth in trees and fields 
Air quickens with sound

God’s love spears bridal prism
Rainbow shards contagion spread 

Earth, water and sun
New growth and activity
Labor, joy and fun

White no longer, earthen arms
Toil ‘til every tongue sings praise

Mature red orange leaves 
Beauty adrift on light wind
Patiently the ground receives

Creation slumbers, the bride
Keeps watch.  See! The King is come!
