Melody's Songs for Every Season - Melody Teo
One of my favourite things about songs is that lyrics often put to words the feelings, aching and longings in my heart that I often don’t know how to utter with my own articulations. Music helps give voice and expression to the things that are already happening inside my heart, and with every season that I walk through, I’ve found that there’s usually a song or two that helps get me through.
With that, I’ve compiled some songs that I hope will speak to you and resonate with you through the seasons of life that you may be going through. For some of these songs, there were specific portions of the song that I felt resonated with me through some of these seasons; it may have just been one line or one verse or just the bridge or it may have been the entire song.. Regardless, I pray that if you’re going through any of these seasons, that these songs will help you vulnerably and honestly put to words before God what you are feeling. I hope the songs will remind you that God remains the same despite our changing seasons, and I pray these songs leave you filled and encouraged.
