To everything, there is a season
And a time, for every purpose
God has a plan, already designed
So you, gotta keep moving
Despite your past, you gotta keep smiling
Anything that be in Christ
Old things are past
So embrace your change
Live your remain
Your dry season is over
It's over
You've gotta know that it's over

Release to live life
Giving love,
receiving all that the Lord has for me
(Repeat)

I'm in a new season
Oh oh oh Oh oh

(Repeat and modulate)
