~O Lord, I look upon this earth You have placed in front of me
-&- teardrops stain my face when I realize what I see
The beauty -&- magnificance created by Your hand
Has been turned around, upside-down, into a different land
~The world that You created is now crumbling in my hands
-&- there is an evil power greater than any mortal man
There are trials -&- tribulations I know are soon to come
-&- a battle where I must stand strong in order to be won
~Dear God, give me the strength I need to carry on
Cause now I am weak -&- fragile - soon to come undone
My mind is filled with fear but poured into my heart is love, peace, -&- understanding from a gentle God above
~Lord, You brought sight to a man who could not see
-&- with five fish -&- two loaves of bread five thousand did You feed
You have rekindled broken hearts -&- healed more than I could tell
On that cross on Calvary You saved my soul from Hell
~So when the waves of life come crashing down on me
I know that by Your hand You will calm the stormy seas
-&- in the darkest days when hope seems far from sight
Your relentless love for me will be my guiding light
~Always there to pick me up if ever I should fall
Never straying far enough to not hear me when I call
This is the promise You made to me so many years ago
When Your blood was shed upon that cross...
it was then true love was shown
