In Every Season

It seems that with every trial I face in life, the Lord always provides me with a song of comfort. The following is one that I clung to after a very up-and-down couple of years - moving away from Athens and the dear friends I had there, the death of my brother and my uncle within a week of each other, completing my Child Life internship and graduating from UGA, the start of a new relationship and eventually the demise of that relationship. Through it all, God is still God - He is still on the throne. He is sovereign. Therefore, as the song's bridge says, "All of my life, in every season, You are still God. I have a reason to sing. I have a reason to worship."

 "Desert Song" by Hillsong

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've recieved I will sow
