Seasons

Like the frost on a rose, winter comes for us all
 Oh, how nature acquaints us with the nature of patience
 Like a seed in the snow, I've been buried to grow
 For Your promise is loyal, from seed to sequoia
 ♪
 Though the winter is long, even richer
 The harvest it brings
 Though my waiting prolongs even greater
 Your promise for me like a seed
 I believe that my season will come
 ♪
 Lord, I think of Your love like a low winter sun
 And as I gaze, I am blinded in the light of Your brightness
 And like a fire to the snow, I'm renewed in Your warmth
 Melt the ice of this wild soul 'til the barren is beautiful
 ♪
 And though the winter is long, even richer
 The harvest it brings
 Though my waiting prolongs even greater
 Your promise for me like a seed
 I believe that my season will come
 ♪
 I can see the promise, I can see the future
 You're the God of seasons, I'm just in the winter
 If all I know of harvest is that it's worth my patience
 Then if You're not done working, God, I'm not done waiting
 You can see my promise even in the winter
 'Cause You're the God of greatness even in a manger
 For all I know of seasons is that You take Your time
 You could have saved us in a second, instead, You sent a Child...
 Though the winter is long, even richer
 The harvest it brings
 Though my waiting prolongs even greater
 Your promise for me like a seed
 I believe that my season will come
 And when I finally see my tree
 Still, I believe there's a season to come
 ♪
 Like a seed You were sown
 For the sake of us all
 From Bethlehem's soil
 Grew Calvary's sequoia
