William Murphy - Its Working - This is My Season For Grace For Favor Lyrics
Lyrics
This is my season for grace for favor
This is my season to reap what I have sown
This is my season for grace for favor yeah
This is my season to reap what I have sown
See I haven't been perfect, but I sure been faithful
See God's got a purpose yes and I know He's able
I've got a seed in the ground, that
He's blessing no more stressing
I've got a seed in the ground, now I know Him I can show Him
This is my season for grace for favor
This is my season to reap what I have sown
This is my season for grace for favor yeah
This is my season to reap what I have sown
Listen everything is working together for my good.
Everything is working (DON'T FEEL GOOD) together for my good.
Everything is working together for my good.
It's good Its working for my good.
It's good (Repeat)
Its working for my good.
It's real good, it's working together for my good.
This is my season for grace for favor yeah
This is my season to reap what I have sown
God is leaning in my direction,
He's leaning in my direction.
This is my season for grace for favor yeah
This is my season to reap what I have sown
I've got a seed in the ground, I've got a seed in the ground
(And I don't care what your circumstance says, it's already getting better).

IT'S WORKING
Meaning & Inspiration
William Murphy’s powerful anthem, "Its Working - This is My Season For Grace For Favor," released on November 8, 2014, stands as a profound declaration of faith and divine alignment. At its core, the song articulates a deeply held belief in God's active involvement in the life of a believer, marking a specific period as one designated for blessings and harvest. It’s an embrace of a prophetic season where grace, unmerited divine assistance, and favor, divine approval and goodwill, are actively manifesting, underscoring the spiritual principle of receiving the fruits of one's past spiritual investments.
The narrative of the song is one of perseverance and unwavering trust, even in the face of human imperfections. Murphy acknowledges, "I haven't been perfect, but I sure been faithful," a sentiment deeply resonant with biblical truth, reminding us that while "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), God’s faithfulness remains steadfast even when we falter (2 Timothy 2:13). This admission grounds the song in relatable honesty, highlighting that the coming season of grace and favor isn't earned through flawless conduct but through sustained faith and persistent effort. It reiterates the Christian understanding that God operates according to His divine purpose and ability, an encouraging reminder that He "is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20).
Central to the song's message is the metaphor of the "seed in the ground." This represents the prayers prayed, the acts of obedience, the tithes sown, the faithful service rendered, and even the trials endured with integrity. It speaks to the spiritual law of sowing and reaping, as found in Galatians 6:7-9, which assures us that if we do not give up in doing good, we will, at the proper time, reap a harvest. The declaration "no more stressing" that accompanies this imagery powerfully conveys a release of anxiety, moving into a posture of peace and confident expectation that God is actively blessing what has been planted. This echoes Philippians 4:6-7, which calls believers to cast their anxieties upon God, trusting in His peace that transcends understanding.
The repeated, emphatic declaration, "Everything is working together for my good," forms the spiritual bedrock of the entire piece, directly quoting and affirming Romans 8:28. This isn't a naive optimism disconnected from reality, but a profound statement of faith that asserts God's sovereign hand is orchestrating every detail, even those moments that "DON'T FEEL GOOD," as the song pointedly acknowledges. It teaches a transformational perspective where adversity is seen not as an end, but as a component of a larger, divinely purposed plan. This transformative outlook reassures that every experience, positive or challenging, is being woven into a tapestry of ultimate benefit for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
Furthermore, the song’s assertion that "God is leaning in my direction" paints a vivid picture of divine attentiveness and active engagement. It’s an intimate portrayal of a God who is not distant but intimately involved, inclining His ear to the cries and declarations of His children, much like Psalm 116:2 describes. This imagery fosters a sense of personal connection and profound reassurance that the Creator of the universe is personally invested in the journey of each individual. The concluding lines, "And I don't care what your circumstance says, it's already getting better," powerfully cement the song's essence as a prophetic declaration. It encourages listeners to elevate their faith above their immediate circumstances, speaking into existence what they believe to be true in the spiritual realm, thereby activating the promise of Mark 11:24: "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." William Murphy delivers not just a song, but a powerful, biblically-rooted affirmation designed to stir faith, cultivate hope, and empower believers to confidently step into their season of divine grace and favor.
