New Season It's been a difficult season but we've seen it through There were times when I was beaten; I relied on you The waves were breaking over my head, I couldn't get away, I was drowning But you threw me in those waves to learn to live again Can you feel the temperature rising? It's climbing to a glorious heat It feels like spring is here and it leads to summer You've stripped my branches so that I can bear your fruit Winter was killing me but now it's just a memory And I'll be ready for autumn when she calls So take this difficult season - let it burn you, let it fire you And I'm still here - it hasn't killed me so it's made me stronger So when these waves are breaking over my head, I'm gonna stand tall, unflinching Taking challenges as compliments, I'll learn to live again Plant me in the ground and let my roots grow deep I'm ready to bear fruit - this is a new season My arms are stretching wide and I am begging you come in Let's leave the past behind, let's leave the past to die This is a new season
