Who is watching this in 2021? This song talks to my soul.

And the voice was just as calm as nature
Can't stop listening to the song

So yesterday the first thing I did in the office was to look up sequoia. Thought it was only a car. Then I saw a text of the story behind this song and now the video of the story behind the song. It speaks to me so much. I just can't stop listening. I get up at 3am to morning just to soak it in. Awesome loving God

My fav singer and songwriter by far! The Lord has truly gifted him to aid in ushering us all in to the Lord’s presence through music.

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

Just finished playing the song not up to an hour ago.. So powerful, so touching, and the voice polished it so well. Thank you Mr Ben

[@ritaf2366]

Thank you for such a wonderful piece. since a few days ago I came across "Seasons" I play if for most of the time I am home. It has been a great reminder of God's faithfulness.

[@lindsayromaine1755]

Absolutely beautifully said. Love the song so much! Such meaningful lyrics. It just makes me think of all the beauty in the world. And yes, the sequoias and redwoods are spectacular!

[@simbarashekatsande1823]

This song is so touching. God bless you.

[@aembewe]

The song is very touching indeed, it's amazing, and beautiful, and peaceful. But the official video they released ruined everything.
