| You would think only so much can go wrong
|
| Calamity only strikes once
|
| And you assume this one has suffered her share
|
| Life will be kinder from here
|
| Oh, but sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
|
| Sometimes the sky rains night after night
|
| When will it clear?
|
| But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
|
| It’s more than our optimism
|
| Let the earth quake
|
| Our Hope is unchanged
|
| How do we comprehend peace within pain?
|
| Or joy at a good man’s wake?
|
| Walk a mile with the woman whose body is racked
|
| With illness, oh how can she laugh?
|
| Oh, 'cause sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
|
| Sometimes the sky rains night after night
|
| When will it clear?
|
| But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
|
| It’s more than our optimism
|
| Let the earth quake
|
| Our Hope is unchanged
|
| Emmanuel, God is with us
|
| El Shaddai, all sufficient
|
| We never walk alone
|
| And this is our hope
|
| But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
|
| It’s more than our optimism
|
| Let the earth quake
|
| Our Hope is unchanged |
