When Autumn Comes

When something leaves my life
It ain’t always loss or pain
Sometimes it’s God reminding me
I don’t have to wear these chains
Nature never misses time
It knows just when to rest
A tree lets go of autumn leaves
Trusting Him with what comes next

Some folks take another road
Some seasons learn to end
Some things stop fitting right
No matter how we bend
Yeah, it hurts to close a door
That once felt safe and warm
But staying where I don’t belong
Can do a deeper harm

When autumn comes
I don’t hold what falls away
If the wind is moving it
It wasn’t meant to stay
It’s not loss, it’s God’s hand
It’s not failure, it’s His plan
What He takes out of my life
Makes room for what comes next

Letting go ain’t giving up
It’s learning how to trust
Every road I didn’t choose
Still led me where I must
I didn’t lose a part of me
I just laid old burdens down
Some things weigh too heavy
For the faith I’m walking now

When autumn comes
I don’t hold what falls away
If the wind is moving it
It wasn’t meant to stay
It’s not loss, it’s God’s hand
It’s not failure, it’s His plan
What He takes out of my life
Makes room for what comes next

Every ending holds a seed
Even buried in the ground
God is working in the silence
Long before the sound
Empty spaces turn to paths
I couldn’t see before
If He cleared this room in me
There’s something better at the door

When autumn comes
I release it, let it go
What He removes from my life
Wasn’t mine to hold
It’s not loss, it’s God’s grace
Leading me to a better place
When something leaves my life
It’s because He’s not done yet
