Seasons of the Soul


It feels like the last three years have been a time of transition for me. I'm still not sure where I am or where I'm going. But...after the hot, lazy days of summer, the change in the air and the change in colors always makes me feel energized and hopeful for something. Something more. Something better. Just as I know that the seasons will change in nature, I choose to believe that life as it is now is only a season. Perhaps it is a season that will last for the rest of my life. That's okay. One day, the season will change forever, and I will be standing on the hills of home, experiencing the light of my Savior's face. What a marvelous day that will be.


As the azure skies of summer
Give way to autumn’s cold
‘Til all signs of life are buried
Under winter’s dormant cold
And the kiss of spring awakens
The hidden life it holds
So life fulfills its cycles
Such are the seasons of the soul

The season in the rain will end at last
The season full of pain will surely pass
The reason will be plain someday when love reveals its goal
Such are the seasons of the soul

Oh, you never dreamed you’d be here
Oh, you’re sure this can’t be right
And you feel you’ve been forgotten
Left alone here in the night
But the darkness hides a treasure
Forming diamonds from the cold
So pain contains a promise
Such are the seasons of the soul

The season in the rain will end at last
The season full of pain will surely pass
The reason will be plain someday when love reveals its goal
Such are the seasons of the soul
Such are the seasons of the soul

Like a child
In the womb
Like the Son of God
Concealed within the tomb
Light will come
Once again
Oh, the dark is just the middle
Not the end

The season in the rain will end at last
The season full of pain will surely pass
The reason will be plain someday when love reveals its goal
Such are the seasons of the soul

The season in the rain will end at last
The season full of pain will surely pass
The reason will be plain someday when love reveals its goal
Such are the seasons of the soul
Such are the seasons of the soul
Such are the seasons of the soul
