Seasons

In the summer when I wake
Celebration on my lips
Praising You for sweet revival,
for mountaintops, Your fingerprints.
When I see you in the sunsets,
in shallow puddles left by rain,
I pray Your joy to never leave me,
give me wonder day to day.

And in the fall when I am weary
of cold shoulders and long days
I look for You in long Octobers,
but cracking branches shake my faith.
When all I know is somehow broken,
I cling to Your words' warm embrace.
I look to You for loving comfort
to give me strength for coming days.

And as the winter brings the cold
and I am feeling so alone,
Your words freeze upon my lips
and sharing them feels like a chore.
When I've nothing good to report,
the icy roads block off my heart,
I pray for peace during the storms,
That I will always know I'm Yours.

And in the springtime, budding flowers,
I taste renewal in the air.
The aroma of forgiveness,
faithfulness, and heard prayers.
Lord, when I see a new horizon,
I pray for grace for my today.
That I'll never forget your promise,
I'll live in you every moment,
           every season,
            every day.
