Separation Season

Lyrics

Verse 1
thought I was being punished
I thought my world was falling apart
But God was separating me
So He could work on my heart

Everybody can’t go where I’m going
Everybody don’t deserve my trust
Sometimes God removes the people
Because He knows they’ll hold you back from becoming who you must

Pre-Chorus
What I thought was punishment
Was mercy in disguise
He was saving me from pieces
I could not survive

Chorus
He’s got me, He’s got me
Even when I don’t understand
When I’m falling, He reminds me
He’s still holding my hand
I may lose some people
But I’m gaining peace instead
What I thought was punishment
Was God protecting my steps

Verse 2
I cried over open doors closing
I grieved the names I had to let fall
But peace moved into the silence
And I could feel Him in it all

Now I see the hidden blessing
In the leaving I once feared
Every heartbreak made a clearing
And His love was drawing near

Pre-Chorus
What I thought was punishment
Was mercy in disguise
He was saving me from pieces
I could not survive

Chorus
He’s got me, He’s got me
Even when I don’t understand
When I’m falling, He reminds me
He’s still holding my hand
I may lose some people
But I’m gaining peace instead
What I thought was punishment
Was God protecting my steps

Bridge
So I’ll trust the separating
If it makes my spirit strong
I won’t curse the holy pruning
If it teaches me where I belong
You were shaping my tomorrow
With the breaking of today
And the door that had to close
Was the road You paved

Chorus
He’s got me, He’s got me
Even when I don’t understand
When I’m falling, He reminds me
He’s still holding my hand
I may lose some people
But I’m gaining peace instead
What I thought was punishment
Was God protecting my steps
