Hard Season

Intro:
C
Verse:
C
Been a hard season, it's been a broken road
                         
All the dreams I was dreaming, 
                                  Am
they went up in smoke
                                 F
But I keep on believing there is a reason 
                               C
for this hard season

Verse 2:
                                                     C
I've been brought down to my knees, 

but I'm too weak to pray
                                        C             
So God, I hope You can hear
                                    Am
 the words I can't say
                                      F
Do You know what I'm needing, 
                                 F                            C
are You still holding me in this hard season?

Chorus:
       F
I lift up my eyes where my help comes from
     
I fall in the arms of the only One
     C
Who knows the reason for every hard season
              F
Lord, You wrote the story that I can't see

So even in the dark, my heart will believe
   C
There is a reason for every hard season

Verse 3:
                                            C
When the tears and the trials, too many to count
                                     C
When my last bit of faith starts to give way
                                Am
 to the waves of my doubt
                                     F
It may feel like I'm drowning, 
                                     F                          C
but I know I'm not alone in this hard season

Chorus:
                                    F
Oh, I lift up my eyes where my help comes from
I fall in the arms of the only One
   C
Who knows the reason for every hard season
                 F
Lord, You wrote the story that I can't see

So even in the dark, my heart will believe
C
There is a reason for every hard season
