GOD ALLOWS OUR WINTER TIMES TO DRAW US BACK TO HIM
__________________________________________________
In God’s sovereign wisdom, He allows us to go through winter times… times of difficulty, hardship, suffering. When our paths seem wrought with wrong turns, obstacles, dead ends, we remember His loving guidance. Be inspired through this song that God forever has His hand upon you. Springtime always follows winter.
Godsend
Riley Clemmons
I had added it upI had made all my plansBut the road I had paved turned into dustAnd I just didn’t understand
I prayed for You to show upI laid my weapons downSurrendered to Your loveAnd looking back now
Oh, every closed door, every single sharp thornEvery answer that didn’t make senseWhat if maybeThey were just teaching me to depend onYour strength in the dark days?All my tears got me crying out to You againWhat if maybeEvery broken place I’ve been was a godsend?
GodsendIt was a godsend
I remember being convincedThere’d never been a winter so coldTurns out spring was around the corner and YouWere turning it into gold
And when I couldn’t feel YouAnd it was hard to breathe inI realized I need YouNow I see the beauty in
Every closed door, every single sharp thornEvery answer that didn’t make senseWhat if maybeThey were just teaching me to depend onYour strength in the dark days?All my tears got me crying out to You againWhat if maybeEvery broken place I’ve been was a godsend?
GodsendIt was a godsend
God, send more mountains that I need Your help to moveGod, send me through the storm if it gets me back to YouGod, send a light to lead me when I don’t know what to doGod, send me to my knees just to bring me close to You
Every closed door, every single sharp thornEvery answer that didn’t make senseWhat if maybeThey were just teaching me to depend onYour strength in the dark days?All my tears got me crying out to You againWhat if maybeEvery broken place I’ve been was a godsend?
GodsendIt was a godsendEven if I didn’t know it thenIt was a godsendEven if I didn’t know it then
