  • Though He adds and subtracts, He remains constant.
  • He is good regardless of human experience.
  • He is faithful.

2. How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture?

Yes, yes it does.

Lyrics posted with permission.*

This song does not contain a Verse/Chorus/Bridge structure.Ā  Therefore, I assigned stanzas for each paragraph.

[Stanza 1]

You give and you take

As stated by Job in Job 1:21.

But You stay the same

God does not change (Numbers 23:19, Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8, and James 1:17).

You are so, so good
In seasons of plenty
In seasons of pain

God is good regardless of our circumstances (1 Chronicles 16:34, Psalm 23:6, Psalm 27:13, Psalm 31:19-20, Psalm 34:8, Psalm 86:5, Psalm 100:5, Psalm 106:1, Psalm 119:68, Psalm 135:3, Psalm 136:1, Psalm 145:9, Lamentations 3:25, Nahum 1:7, Matthew 19:17, Mark 10:18, and Luke 18:19).

You are so, so good

Repeats line 3.

[Stanza 2]

Oh Father, You have been so faithful

God is trustworthy (Numbers 23:19, Deuteronomy 7:9, Psalm 33:4, Psalm 91:4, Psalms 119:90, Lamentations 3:22-23, 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, 2 Timothy 2:13, Hebrews 10:23, 2 Peter 3:9, and 1 John 1:9).Ā  Also, it contains a call to Casper the friendly ghost.

Constant, and so stable

See Stanza 1, line 2.

I will trust Your hand
In every season

Canyon Hills Worship remains steadfast in their faith in all circumstances (1 Corinthians 16:13, 2 Corinthians 1:24, Ephesians 6:11, Philippians 1:27, Philippians 4:1, Colossians 1:23, 2 Thessalonians 2:15, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14, Hebrews 4:14, Hebrews 6:11, Hebrews 10:23, and 1 Peter 5:9 ).

You have never made a promise
You will not accomplish

God keeps all His promises (Numbers 23:19, Joshua 21:45, Joshua 23:14, 1 Kings 8:56, Romans 4:21, 2 Corinthians 1:20, 1 Thessalonians 5:24, Hebrews 10:23, and 2 Peter 3:9).

I will trust Your hand
In every season

Repeats lines 3 and 4.

[Stanza 3]

When my heart is at peace
And my soul is at rest
You are so, so good

You are still so good

[Stanza 6]

Thereā€™s a heavenly storehouse
Of favor and love
And it never runs out
It goes on and on and on

That is, God’s unending and undeserved favor bestowed upon His people (Luke 18:9-14, Acts 13:39, Romans 3:20-30, Romans 4:1-7, Romans 8:3, Romans 9:16, Romans 9:31-32, Romans 11:6, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21, Galatians 3:10-12, Galatians 3:21, Galatians 5:2-4, Ephesians 2:8-9, Philippians 3:3-9, 2 Timothy 1:9, Hebrews 6:1-2, and James 2:10-11).

In want and in plenty
I have all I need

Canyon Hills Worship has discovered Paul’s secret to contentment whether in want or in riches (Philippians 4:12).

No matter the season
Bring a harvest out of me

A prayer offered to God that through Him, Canyon Hills Worship will bear fruit (Matthew 5:16, John 15:1-11, 1 Corinthians 3:9, 2 Corinthians 5:17, 2 Corinthians 9:8, Galatians 5:16-26, Ephesians 1:4, Ephesians 2:10, Ephesians 4:1, Philippians 1:6, Philippians 2:13, Colossians 1:10, 2 Thessalonians 2:17, 1 Timothy 2:10, 1 Timothy 6:18, 2 Timothy 2:21, 2 Timothy 3:17, Titus 2:7, Titus 2:14, Titus 3:1, Titus 3:8, Titus 3:14, Hebrews 10:19-25, 1 Peter 2:12, 1 John 1:7, and 1 John 2:6).

Closing Comments

Canyon Hills Worship’s Every Season is great.Ā  Our Heavenly Father is a good and gracious God who abounds in lovingkindness.Ā  He keeps all His promises, is constantly faithful, and provides undeserved favor for His people.Ā  In response, we trust Him in all that He does, praying that He will make us fruitful in all that we do.Ā  These glorify God.Ā  Unbelievers should have little to no issues interpreting similarly.

I highly recommend this song for corporate worship.

Final Score: 10/10
