Verso 1

Winter will fade away
Days they will lengthen
Carried on the song
That awakes the spring
Laughter will fill the air
Round the table
Where we’ll feast
Like the flowers after heavy rain

Coro 1

When joy comes in the morning
Don’t despise the tears that fell
They were no less holy
Sacred is our lament

Verso 2

He’s found in the wilderness
Where crows pick amongst the bones
That once stood proud
Now to dust return
Places of desolation
Every ruined city
He has not forgotten
He can build again

Coro 2

Wake wake the sleepers
Time to rise up from the dead
When deep darkness covers you
Reach out for hope again

Verso 3

Winter will come again
Strip the fruit we worked to grow
Such are the seasons we must endure
Take heart don’t lose yourself
Whatever comes you’re not alone
Love that’s stronger than death abides

Coro 3

Come bitter grief
Come joy to the full
There’s one who weeps
And laughs with you
No season that He doesn’t know
Rest now and trust in Him
