New strength He gives to bear every burden

Some trees are stripped of their leaves at present

Parts of the gardens look bleak and bare

But it’s good to know that whatever the season

The Heavenly garden is always there.

Detecting each change within your life

Tells you to cast upon Him each care.

New strength He gives to bear every burden

And loves you beyond all compare.

As each season holds its own special beauty

Joy we can find amidst life’s pain,

Let’s make the best of the day we are given

Mindful we won’t pass this way again.

Hold on when things for you look different

And accept the things you cannot change,

Never fear or fathom what lies ahead

Or try to reach beyond your range.
