seasons
Hillsong Worship Lyrics

Like the frost on a rose
As winter comes for everyone, like frost on a rose, challenges are inevitable in life.

Winter comes for us all
No one can escape the challenges that winter or adversity brings in life.

Oh how nature acquaints us
Nature teaches us how to be patient even in times of difficulties and challenges.

With the nature of patience
Nature shows us how to exhibit calm, endurance and perseverance as we wait on our season to come.

Like a seed in the snow
Just like a seed that's buried in the snow to grow, hidden potentials can be discovered in the midst of challenges.

I've been buried to grow
In life, growth can come from the depths of the very thing meant to limit or stop us.

For Your promise is loyal
God's promises of blessings in our lives are unchanging and dependable.

From seed to sequoia
Just as a small seed can grow and become a sequoia tree, our hidden potentials can become great if we are patient and trust in God's promises.

I know
Even during the most difficult times, we can still trust and believe in the promises of God.

Though the winter is long even richer
Despite the prolonged hardships, difficulties can make us stronger, more resilient, and more appreciative of blessings that may come later.

The harvest it brings
Even in times of delay and difficulty, we can still reap a harvest or experience fulfillment at the right time.

Though my waiting prolongs even greater
Even when we are at the peak of our endurance, our reward is sometimes even greater with more patience and waiting.

Your promise for me like a seed
Just as a seed has the potential to become a great sequoia, we too can have greatness within us as we trust God's promises.

I believe that my season will come
Having faith in the timing of God brings hope that our promised season will eventually come.

Lord I think of Your love
Through the help of God, we can face our trials with strength and love.

Like the low winter sun
God's presence can serve as a guide for us in tough times, just like the winter sun pointing the way.

And as I gaze I am blinded
The closer we move towards God's light or guidance, the better our sight becomes, but the more we are also humbled or blinded in our awe.

In the light of Your brightness
Basking in God's light, warmth, and love can uplift us even in the darkest and coldest winter times.

And like a fire to the snow
God's warmth can melt away our coldness and negativity, leading to renewed energy and purpose in our lives.

I'm renewed in Your warmth
As we get closer to God and feel the warmth of His love, we become renewed and refreshed.

Melt the ice of this wild soul
God can melt away the coldness or unforgiveness of our hearts and help us find calmness and peace.

'Til the barren is beautiful
Even the most barren or hopeless situations can become beautiful and fruitful when we lean on God.

You're the God of seasons
God controls the seasons, but He also controls when we experience certain seasons of our lives.

And I'm just in the winter
Sometimes we may feel stuck in the winter or delay periods of our lives, but we can trust that it's a season that will pass.

If all I know of harvest
Even if we only have a small idea of what blessings are or how they come, we can still have faith in eventual good times.

Is that it's worth my patience
Even if the wait is long, the blessings that eventually come as a result are always worth the hardships.

Then if You're not done working
We can trust that God is always at work, even during the hardest or most seemingly stagnant times of our lives.

God I'm not done waiting
Even when we are tired of waiting, we can still have faith in God's timing and purposes for our lives.

You can see my promise
God knows the promises and potential that He has placed within us, even if we cannot see them at present.

Even in the winter
Even during the most difficult or prolonged periods like winter, God still knows and has a plan for our lives.

'Cause You're the God of greatness
God is all-powerful and has the ability to lift us up out of despair or hardship, and lead us to greatness.

Even in a manger
God can use the most humble of circumstances to achieve great things, such as bringing forth the Savior of the world from a manger.

For all I know of seasons
Even though we may not understand much about the seasons of life, we can still trust in God's timing.

Is that You take Your time
God has a specific plan and timing for everything in our lives, so we can rely on Him to do things in His time.

You could have saved us in a second
Just as God could have easily saved us at any time, He also has the power to direct every aspect of our lives in the best direction for us.

Instead You sent a child, oh
God chose to save us through a humble child, which reveals that even the smallest things in life can hold great worth and power.

And when I finally see my tree
Eventually, we can reap the rewards of our hard work and patience, manifested in the growth of a metaphorical tree.

Still I believe there's a season to come
No matter how great our blessings may be, we can still have faith in God's future promises, and hope for continued growth and flourishing.

Like a seed You were sown
Just as a seed is planted in the ground, Jesus was also planted in our lives to bring forth new life and growth.

For the sake of us all
Jesus came specifically for our salvation, but He also did so for the sake of bringing humanity closer to God.

From Bethlehem's soil
Jesus' birthplace signifies that He came from humble beginnings, just like many of us.

Grew Calvary's sequoia
Jesus' sacrifice on the cross allows for us to grow into greatness, just as a sequoia tree grows from a small seed.
