Like the turning colors of the leaves

I accept my seasons;

Knowing God gave me joy, despair

All for His perfect reasons.

And just like the sun will shine

It must surely set;

Rainbows in the sky

Help me not to forget

That storms will often rise

But if I place my faith in Thee;

My seasons , the sun’s shining and setting

It’s all part of His harmony.

So I embrace my joy with gladness

And know tears are not in vain;

Like the turning colors of the leaves

It’s all done in His name.
