Perfect Reason For All Seasons...

In life’s seasons cold and dismal beauty does not change its ways

Hope still bridges hurt abysmal, dawn still brims with Mercy’s gaze

Love still keeps redemption’s promise, (nothing dis-annuls God’s Word )

In the middle of life’s winter spring is waiting undeterred

In the middle of the muddle that can vex the well-laid plan

When the ways of God befuddle the determined ways of man

Love still stands amidst the rubble like hope’s gonfalon unfurled

God is bigger than the trouble that torments this broken world

When the weight of woe would crush us but for grace that sets us free

When the ache of longing rushes like a river to the sea

Love still grants the Perfect Reason to let our spirits soar

For love gives to every season so much to be thankful for
