HARD SEASON - Matthew West

HARD SEASON
Matthew West

BEEN A HARD SEASON 

BEEN A BROKEN ROAD  

ALL THE DREAMS I WAS DREAMING  

THEY WENT UP IN SMOKE  

BUT I KEEP ON BELIEVING  

THERE IS A REASON  

FOR THIS HARD SEASON  

 

BEEN BROUGHT DOWN TO MY KNEES 

BUT I’M TOO WEAK TO PRAY  

SO, GOD, I HOPE YOU CAN HEAR  

THE WORDS I CAN’T SAY  

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I’M NEEDING  

ARE YOU STILL HOLDING ME IN  

THIS HARD SEASON  

 

I LIFT UP MY EYES 

WHERE MY HELP COMES FROM  

I FALL IN THE ARMS OF THE ONLY ONE 

WHO KNOWS THE REASON  

FOR EVERY HARD SEASON 

LORD, YOU WROTE 

THE STORY THAT I CAN’T SEE 

SO EVEN IN THE DARK 

MY HEART WILL BELIEVE 

THERE IS A REASON  

FOR EVERY HARD SEASON  

 

WHEN THE TEARS AND THE TRIALS  

ARE TOO MANY TO COUNT 

WHEN MY LAST BIT OF FAITH 

STARTS TO GIVE WAY  

TO WAVES OF MY DOUBT  

IT MAY FEEL LIKE I’M DROWNING 

BUT I KNOW I’M NOT ALONE IN 

THIS HARD SEASON 

 

OH, I LIFT UP MY EYES 

WHERE MY HELP COMES FROM  

I FALL IN THE ARMS OF THE ONLY ONE 

WHO KNOWS THE REASON  

FOR EVERY HARD SEASON 

LORD, YOU WROTE 

THE STORY THAT I CAN’T SEE 

SO EVEN IN THE DARK 

MY HEART WILL BELIEVE 

THERE IS A REASON  

FOR EVERY HARD SEASON  

  

WEEPING MAY LAST FOR A MOMENT 

BUT JOY’S GONNA 

COME IN THE MORNING  

BLESSINGS WILL FLOW 

FROM THESE BATTLES 

AND BEAUTY WILL 

RISE FROM THESE ASHES 

 

OH, WEEPING MAY LAST FOR A MOMENT 

BUT JOY’S GONNA 

COME IN THE MORNING  

BLESSINGS WILL FLOW 

FROM THESE BATTLES 

AND BEAUTY WILL 

RISE FROM THESE ASHES 

 

WEEPING MAY LAST FOR A MOMENT 

BUT JOY’S GONNA 

COME IN THE MORNING  

BLESSINGS WILL FLOW 

FROM THESE BATTLES 

AND BEAUTY WILL 

RISE FROM THESE ASHES 

I LIFT UP MY EYES 

WHERE MY HELP COMES FROM  

I FALL IN THE ARMS OF THE ONLY ONE 

WHO KNOWS THE REASON  

FOR EVERY HARD SEASON 

LORD, YOU WROTE 

THE STORY THAT I CAN’T SEE 

SO EVEN IN THE DARK 

MY HEART WILL BELIEVE 

THERE IS A REASON  

FOR EVERY HARD SEASON
