Hard Season Matthew West

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

2 Verse:
                                                     C
I've been brought down to my knees, but I'm too weak to pray
                                        C                                                 Am
So God, I hope You can hear  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
     F
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
       F
So even in the dark, my heart will believe
   C
There is a reason for every hard season

3 Verse:
                                            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

Weeping may last for a moment,

And beauty will rise from these ashes
