In the previous entry, I journaled about Jesus’s teaching about watching for signs of the seasons’ change. This song captures some of the beauty of God working through nature and how God works similarly in our own lives. The lyrics are below the video; scroll down and read those instead of watching the stock video. Though beautifully edited, the words are much more powerful.
Every Season
Every evening sky
An invitation
To trace the pattern stars
And early in July
A celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice You
In childrens games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are summer
And even when the trees
Have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves
In late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and whats to come
You are autumn
And every thing in time
And under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white
All creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice You when branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death You open doors for life to enter
You are winter
And every thing thats new
Has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
And what was frozen through
Is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every seasons change
And so it will be
as You are recreating me
Summer Autumn Winter Spring
