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

I know

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 the 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

Till the barren is beautiful

And I know

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

And 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
