"When Winter Is Upon You"

“When Winter Is Upon You”

When winter is upon you and nothing seems to grow

And everything around you seems covered in a blanket of snow

Remember sleeping is for a season… Springtime is near

And all the seeds are growing and soon will appear

Grow high… Grow high…

and grow with me

Open your arms to the sky…

and grow with me

Our Creator is drawing night…

grow with me

Listen to the waking cry

and grow with me

When your labor seems to have no yield and your body is tired

Remember the snow-white field and the harvest is sired

Resting is for a season… then comes the joy of the dance

For every fruit there is a season… in every circumstance
