The Harvest after the Fire by Eduardo_Javier - Zona

Lyrics

Verse 1

Spent years in the furnace, sleeping next to fear,

felt the weight of every failure whisper, “You won’t make it here.”[youtube +1]

Dreams turned into ashes, plans burned to the ground,

standing in the smoke, I thought I’d never turn it around.[youtube +1]

Verse 2

But every time the flames rose higher, something in me wouldn’t break,

learned the language of surrender, learned the courage it would take.[worshiponline +1]

I was pressed and I was tested, I was stripped of all my pride,

’til the only thing left standing was my soul and stubborn life.[open.spotify +1]

Pre-Chorus

Now I see the fire wasn’t sent to kill my name,

it was there to melt the chains and forge me in the flame.[youtube +1]

Chorus

Now it’s harvest after fire,

after all those sleepless nights.[holysojourners +1]

What I planted in the darkness,

I’m collecting in the light.[thepioneerwoman +1]

Every tear that hit the soil,

every “no” and every loss,

was a seed beneath the surface

that is breaking through the frost.[grizzlyrose +1]

I’ve been tempered, I’ve been tried,

I’m still standing, still alive—

now it’s harvest after fire.[open.spotify +1]

Verse 3

Spent years asking “What’s the reason?” with my face against the ground,

till I realized in the struggle that my purpose had been found.[youtube +1]

Now I walk back through the places that once nearly took me out,

with my hands full of compassion and a voice that’s learned to shout.[holysojourners +1]

Pre-Chorus

’Cause if the pain was just for me, then what was all the pain for?

I was never meant to keep this—this is overflow to pour.[lyricsondemand +1]

Chorus

Now it’s harvest after fire,

and the fields are turning gold.[thepioneerwoman +1]

What was heavy on my shoulders

has become the strength I hold.[youtube +1]

I will love like I was rescued,

I will give like I’ve been spared,

I will tell the ones still burning

there’s a season coming there.[worshiponline +1]

I’ve been tempered, I’ve been tried,

I’m still standing, still alive—

now it’s harvest after fire.[youtube +1]

Bridge

This is for the ones in winter

who can’t see the coming spring,

for the hearts that feel forgotten

in the middle of their grief.[youtube +1]

Hold on to the hand that held you

when the flames were at your feet,

one day you’ll look back and whisper,

“Every trial watered me.”[worshiponline +1]

Final Chorus

Now it’s harvest after fire,

I’m done hiding from my scars.[holysojourners +1]

They’re the proof that I survived it,

they’re the map to where you are.[seventeen +1]

I was planted in the shadows,

but I’m rising in the sun,

and the love I’m spreading now

comes from everything I’ve done.[thepioneerwoman +1]

I’ve been tempered, I’ve been tried,

I’m still standing, still alive—

now it’s harvest after fire.[youtube +1]

Outro

The season of just sowing

has given way to open skies,

now the reason for my journey

is to help you rise.
