In Every Season
As the seasons change,
Spring to summer, on to autumn
With winter closing in, just around the corner
Following close on the hills of a moment
Promising hope to those who know Him
The One who created this November
Whispered light into the sun’s glowing
And breathed joy into the snow’s silence
As the seasons break through
Each reflection of the inspirations
Soothing and beautiful, like grace peeking
Through the soul, inviting the kiss of a moment
A prayer who awakens God’s ear and gentles
The darkness with the shimmer from
Stars who know what it means to stir blessings
In the faded falling of rain showers,
Tender sighs of leaves in hues of amber
And gold – rich mahogany bursting
With the laughter from a heart who knows
His love, His grace… His way
As the seasons stir wonders,
Abiding peace and sweet promises
From the faded expressions of lost dreams
Who keep weighing heavy on the singsong moments
Beckoning through the burning passions,
The lightning fast cravings, amazing
Praising, breathless pleas for His hand
Taking away the doubts, the fears and tears
All the reasons for disillusionment
As the seasons pass – spring to summer,
Summer to fall… autumn to winter…
I can recall the moment when I first knew
The blameless hope that restores my soul
When I can’t seem to even breathe on my own,
When it takes His word, His touch, His love…
To even know the meaning of being sure, assured
Filled with the knowing that He will make a way…
Even when my heart is cold and I can’t feel the love
That I know carries me through each doubt…
And gives me the promise that He is always in control
With Jesus… I know –
The light has shattered the darkness
With a grace that survives every black thought
A love that provides more hope for this world
Than a mind can imagine or a muse can inspire
More … of what is His gift… grows wisdom
Inside the heart who believes, the soul who receives
This love that is alive – in every season, each grief
It is a love that knows and gives generously…
So we’ll never know the meaning of despair or misery
With Jesus…in every season, I know – true peace
It is His peace that brings with it… a reason to be
A reason to believe – a reason to agree…
He is everything I will ever need!
