I lifted my head to weep
From beneath a fear so deep
Why do I tire so easily
When the devil doesn’t sleep?
My heart is in a restless haze
Is this how I’ll live out my days?
Or is this madness what it takes
To know nothing can separate?
Hallelujah
"Hope in God with all your might"
Why has sorrow veiled His light?
Am I in a losing fight?
No
Hope always implies a lack of sight
We all run this race with broken bones
Praying home’s still there when we get home
But pain is just the art of passing by
Till we see our Savior in the sky
Hallelujah
When it seems this world has bested my faith
I’ll look to when I look on His face
It’s not that I don’t still feel the ache
The hurt is just incentive to cling to His grace
And I can see His kingdom coming down
Dead men bloom like lilies from the ground
Friend, don’t fear the serpent in your bed
Fear the heel that’s crushed that coward’s head
Hallelujah
And all bad things come to an end
And all that’s good lives on
A billion years from now we’ll sing,
“A billion years the pain’s been gone”
And all bad things come to an end
And all that’s good lives on
A billion years from now we’ll sing,
“A billion years Your love is still our song”
