~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the darkness colors the midnight skies
And all your blessings seem in the past, you surmise
The ache of heart who knows nothing but lies
Listen to the story of His glory – He never dies
When the worries grow harder and you feel defeated
And all your heartfelt yearnings are uncompleted
The heavy hand of doubt causes you to feel depleted
Listen to the cross who reveals a gentle that never cheated
When your worst fears have come and you don’t understand
And all your memories seem to cast a shadow, it’s out of hand
The dread grows deeper than you would have ever planned
Listen to the One who has designed the world so grand
When the music has stopped playing for the hopes you knew
And all your dreams have scattered, leaving so very few
The doubts and dread, all the nightmares you’ll come through
Listen to the song that comes from a Savior who is so true
When the bitterness of each thought seems to reveal the wrong
And all the grace you’ve known feels like it’s saying you don’t belong
The breakthrough isn’t near and your soul just doesn’t feel strong
Listen to the voice of One who is love – He’s known you all along
When the story reveals a pain that keeps you from holding on
And nothing on earth can take away the tears that fall, you’re woebegone
The steady hand of hope can lead you from the sorrow you’ve come upon
Listen to the love that comes from One to whom your heart is drawn
When the troubles feel so close to home and nothing seems worthwhile
And you’re left mourning with a heart that feels like it’s living in exile
The wonder of His grace, the beauty of His forgiveness, brings a smile
Listen, have faith in this man who arose - His sacrifice will reconcile!
