[verse1] The river cracks, the ice gives way, the winter yields to brighter day. We hear the song of water's run, the promise that the spring's begun. [verse2] The thaw will free both root and seed, to stretch again and meet their need. The buds will swell, the grass will grow, and life return where cold winds blow. [chorus] O Thaw's Promise, so pure and true, the world awakes to welcome you. The frozen earth will breathe again, and green will rise where white has been.
