In every season, You are still God...

I am not one that believes that it is okay to replace meditating on God's powerful scripture with worship songs, but I do find worship songs inspiring, encouraging and challenging in my journey with God. Last Sunday Jenny and I sang a song by Hillsong entitled Desert Song. Life has been tough here lately. May I never forget that all of my life, in every season..even now, He is still God..therefore.. I have reason to worship! The lyrics are..

This is my prayer in the desert, When all that's within me feels dry, This is my prayer in my hunger and need, My God is the God who provides,
-VERSE 2-
And this is my prayer in the fire, In weakness, or trial, or pain, There is a faith proved more worth than gold, So refine me Lord through the flame,
-CHORUS-
I will bring praise, I will bring praise, No weapon formed against me shall remain, I will rejoice, I will declare, God is my victory and He is here,
-VERSE 3-
This is my prayer in the battle, When triumph is still on its way, I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ, So firm on his promise I'll stand, (repeat Chorus)
-REFRAIN-
All of my life, in every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship, (repeat Chorus)
-VERSE 4- And this is my prayer in the harvest, When favour and providence flow, I know I'm filled to be emptied again, The seed I receive I will sow
