Seasons - My Season Will Come

Song Meaning

Hillsong Worship builds this one entirely out of one extended metaphor — a seed buried in winter, waiting through frost and snow for a harvest it can't yet see. 'Like a seed in the snow, I've been buried to grow' turns dormancy itself into part of the growth process rather than the opposite of it, which reframes waiting as productive rather than wasted time. Ecclesiastes 3:1's 'for everything there is a season' sits behind the whole structure, but the song pushes past resignation into active hope: 'I believe that my season will come.'

The final verse makes an unexpected turn, connecting personal waiting to the nativity and the cross in one image — 'from Bethlehem's soil grew Calvary's sequoia.' That's the song's real claim: if God let his own son's story begin in a manger's obscurity before it reached the scale of the cross, a season that looks small or barren now isn't evidence that nothing is growing. Galatians 6:9's promise of reaping 'in due season' if one doesn't give up is the quieter verse underneath the louder one.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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
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
Till the barren is beautiful

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 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

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
