I need to go on spring break!
Pretty, beautiful flowers
everywhere, erupt!
Warm weather filling the air
About thoughts of work
I don’t particularly care
As for me, I’ve got to
Get out of here and leave!
I’m not interested in beer
Drinking alcoholic beverages
Though for some that’s popular
Florida beaches filled with bikinis
Young college girls drink martinis
Guys dance and shout all night
Participating in crazy contests
This is Florida’s Octoberfest
Fun in the sun and lots of sex
The accompanying pleasantries
Unexpected pregnancies
Drunk driving fatalities
Kids hugging their toilets
Hung over in the morning
abuse of drugs without reason.
Yet not everyone always does it
Exactly and particularly this way
Others go on a mission trip & pray
Purpose to help others in dire need
Like hurricane victims along the Gulf
Impoverished people in Latin America
Giving of yourself can be rejuvenating
Deeply soul searching and invigorating
Rich kids hop planes and go to Paris
Tour the scenic sights of lovely Europe
Cruise the breathtaking Mediterranean
If you’re on a budget, hit the Caribbean
Carnival Cruise Lines for a nonstop party
Mexico and parts of Arizona are favorites
For those kids living out in the wild west
Some say this is Spring Break at its best
Nevertheless many students happily rest
Ready to rid their minds of book overload
Get out of the four walls of the classroom
Catch a ballgame, enjoy life, just chill out
This is the main purpose of spring break.
Yet the tradition and holiday began
Long ago, when spiritual minds did know
That Jesus who was crucified rose again
Christ the Savior, the world’s best Friend
He promised to help us and come again
Fill us with His Holy Spirit to live abundantly
Conquering the cross and grave triumphantly
He did generously purchase for you and me
Freedom from guilt, shame,and gross sin
Even those you might unexpectedly let in
So this Spring Break give thought to God
The Father up above who deeply does love
Humanity for whom He sent His Son Jesus
Repent and ask for His tender forgiveness
Invite the miraculous Spirit to live big in you
to demonstrate the resurrection’s power as well!
Make Jesus your Friend the whole way through
He is merciful and mighty, but most importantly
He’s not all about condemning and critiquing you
Jesus cherishes and joyfully rejoices in you!
Created in God’s image to be in the fun family
This family of faith is welcoming you right now
Simply pray to God, no need to kneel or bow
Just open your mouth and ask Jesus to save
Your precious soul and send the Spirit He gave
To fill you to overflowing and make you whole
Restoring everything the devil from you stole
The innocence, the purity, the divine power
Ask God for it now in humble prayer.
