Like the frost on a rose Winter comes for us all Oh, how nature acquaints us With the nature of patience So 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 Is the harvest it brings And though my waiting prolongs, even greater Is Your promise for me, like a seed I believe that my season will come Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm So like the low winter sun So it is with Your love As I gaze, I am blinded In the light of Your brightness So like a fire to the snow I'm renewed in Your warmth Oh, melt the ice of this wild soul Till the barren is beautiful And I know Though the winter is long, even richer Is the harvest it brings And though my waiting prolongs, even greater Is 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 workin', God, I'm not done waiting Well, 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 Is the harvest it brings And though my waiting prolongs, even greater Is Your promise for me, like a seed I believe that my season will come For one day, I'll see my tree 'Cause I believe there's a season to come Like a seed You were sown For the sake of us all And from Bethlehem's soil Grew Calvary's sequoia, ooh-ooh-ooh
