In all of life’s seasons

by Bettina Van Vaerenbergh

God created us for Himself, He redeemed us and set us apart;
That we might love and praise Him, with a thankful heart.
Out of the darkness, into the Light, He has called us to be holy -
To shine in a fallen world, so our lives will bring Him glory.
When all is going well for us, praising God comes easy…
On Sunday mornings we sing along, confident and breezy.
God is with us, we can feel it, there's not a shadow on our mind;
He has blessed us in abundance, and life is good, we find.
But when we suffer misfortune, and eat adversity for bread;
When God hides His face - soon doubt rears its ugly head.
When the winds are contrary, and storm after storm is brewing;
Will we still thank God then, and trust in what He's doing?
God gives all things in love, even heavy crosses on our way;
All His plans are for our good, and we'll know the why, some day.
It's important to be thankful, there's always so many reasons -
Praising God lifts our spirits, in all of life's seasons.
We belong to Jesus Christ, we are heirs of God, and holy;
In every circumstance therefore, let us give Him glory.
In sickness or in health, for richer or poorer, let's raise our voice;
Let us choose to praise the Lord, let's make a joyful noise!
