Bridge 1
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
Am 
waiting
Bridge 2
You can see my
promise even in the
winter
‘Cause You’re the God of greatness
even in a
Am 
manger
For all I know of
seasons is that You take Your
time
You could have saved us in a
second in
G/B 
stead
You sent a
Am 
child
