Hard Season
by Matthew West

Album: My Story Your Glory

Verse 1
Been a hard season, it's 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

Verse 2
I've 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?

Chorus
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

Verse 3
When the tears and the trials, too many to count
When my last bit of faith starts to give way to the waves of my doubt
It may feel like I'm drowning, but I know I'm not alone in this hard season

Chorus
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

Bridge
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

Chorus
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
