When hope lies broken

and tears water desert ground,

are You here?

When hurt envelopes

and love’s nowhere to be found

are You here?

When questions overwhelm

and doubt assails soft faith

are You here?

When loneliness abides

and words leave wounds, not grace

are You here?

When all is judged wrong

and truth is restrained by pride

are You here?

When trust has fled far

and honesty must hide

are You here?

Are You here?

Lord, lift my eyes to see Your face,

let Your voice be all I hear.

Fill every dark and empty space

with Your life that casts out fear.

Help me know peace beyond all reason.

Help me love just as You love.

May I forgive each failing, freely

And learn that grace is more than enough.

You are my joy, my strength, my fortress,

the lamp that lights my blackest night.

Your goodness, still, has never wavered –

You won’t grow weary in this fight.

Be glorified, be lifted high.

May Your glory be my only aim.

King of kings, Lord of lords,

my hope rests only in Your Name.
