Like the frost on a rose
Winter comes for us all
Oh, how nature acquaints us
With the nature of patience
And 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
Like the low winter sun
So it is with Your love
And as I gaze I am blinded
In the light of Your brightness
Like a fire to the snow
I'm renewed in Your warmth
Melt the ice of this wild soul
'Til the barren is beautiful
And I know
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
And 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
And when I finally see my tree
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
