I believe these might be what you're looking for:

1.
In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree;
In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter there's a spring that waits to be,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

2.
There's a song in every silence, seeking word and melody;
There's a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

3.
In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;
In our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity,
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

Hope this is it. God bless!
Steve

Bless you, Steve, this is the right one! I think I want that one sung at my funeral. M.

This first time our choir sang this song I fell in love with the words and the music. My mother wants this sung at her memorial and I want it sung at mine. This song speaks to me. Edie
