about

"Spring Will Come" may be my favorite song on the album because of the deep personal meaning the story has for me. Many years ago when my family and I lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, my wife, Della bought some daffodil and tulip bulbs to plant in her garden. She was so excited because she loved their bright colors when they bloomed in the spring after a long winter. Before she could plant them she became critically ill with an incurable condition and the doctors gave her only two months to live. God heard our prayers and she flew to Duke hospital in Durham, North Carolina for three months of experimental treatments in an attempt to save her life.

While she was at Duke, I planted the bulbs late that fall while the ground was cold and hard and everything around was gray and dying. I planted them with the hope she would see them bloom that spring when she came home; but I knew she might never come home. Our church and family prayed for the next three months that God would heal her of the fatal condition she had.

When she called me that spring and told me she was healed, I drove out to North Carolina to bring her home. On the way home I tried to encourage her that the long, hard road was over, spring was here and we could look forward to new life. When we got home and pulled into the driveway, the first tulip had bloomed and was beautiful! God gave her several more years with us and we treasured every moment as if every day was a gift from our father. Several years later after she passed away, although I was grief-stricken, I could hear her encouraging me with the same words I had given to her on our long drive back home from the hospital that "Spring will come again!"
