Hillsong Worship’s “Seasons” is a beautiful song that uses the metaphor of seasons to talk about faith and trusting God’s timing. The lyrics compare difficult times in life to winter, a season of coldness and dormancy. Just as a seed hidden under snow eventually sprouts in spring, the song assures us that even in challenging periods, God has a plan and our blessings will come.
The song isn’t just about waiting passively. The bridge talks about how God works in mysterious ways, referencing the birth of Jesus. Just like God chose a humble manger for such a momentous event, our own difficult times might be preparing us for something even greater. “Seasons” encourages us to hold onto faith and believe that God is working behind the scenes, even when we can’t see it.
Whether you’re facing a personal winter or simply looking for a message of hope, “Seasons” offers a comforting reminder that God’s promises hold true, and our brighter days are yet to come.

Seasons Lyrics by Hillsong Worship
VERSE 1:
Like the frost on a rose
Winter comes for us all
Oh how nature acquaints us
With the nature of patience
Like a seed in the snow
I’ve been buried to grow
For Your promise is loyal
From seed to sequoia
PRE-CHORUS:
I know
CHORUS:
Though the winter is long even richer
The harvest it brings
Though my waiting prolongs even greater
Your promise for me like a seed
I believe that my season will come
VERSE 2:
Lord I think of Your love
Like the low winter sun
As I gaze I am blinded
In the light of Your brightness
Like a fire to the snow
I’m renewed in Your warmth
Melt the ice of this wild soul
Till the barren is beautiful
BRIDGE:
I can see the promise
I can see the future
You’re the God of seasons
I’m just in the winter
If all I know of harvest
Is that it’s worth my patience
Then if You’re not done working
God I’m not done waiting
You can see my promise
Even in the winter
Cause You’re the God of greatness
Even in a manger
For all I know of seasons
Is that You take Your time
You could have saved us in a second
Instead You sent a child
TAG:
And when I finally see my tree
Still I believe there’s a season to come
VERSE 3:
Like a seed You were sown
For the sake of us all
From Bethlehem’s soil
Grew Calvary’s sequoia
