Only For A Season

Only for a season will this land be barren

Only for a season will this land be dry

Only for a season will her Son's dessert her

Only for a season will her Daughters cry

Only for a Season will she stand rejected

Only for a season will she stand accused

Only for a season will she stand in rags

Only for a season hurt and used

 

Only for a season will her tears keep flowing

Only for a season will she be face down

Only for a season will the battle rage

Only for a season in every town

Only for a season will the wicked prosper

Only for a season will she them gain

Only for a season will her enemies taunt her

Only for a season missuse her name

 

Only for a season will her walls be broken

Only for season anger at her gates

Only for a season will she hear raised voices

Only for a seaon for she who waits

Only for a season will she be broken

Only for a season will she have to fend

Only for a season will all this happen

And now that season is at an end

 

From now on let this land be fertile

Fron now on she doesn't stand alone

From now on let her Daughters speak truth

From now on let her Sons come home

From now on let her stand forgiven

From now on let her be free

From now on she's clothed in Justice

From now on there's Liberty

 

From now on her tears be joyfull

From now on let her lift her head

From now on let the battle cease

From now on there's peace instead

From now on her gates be mended

From no on her walls restored

From now on her footsteps guided

From now on orderd by The Lord

 

From now on may her dreams be realised

From now on visions and signs

From now on may she speak with boldness

From now on in these times

From now on may she stand complete

From now on saved by God's grace

From now on may her name be righteous

From now on Thy dwelling place
