The Morning Follows
How many times?
How many days to walk this secret mission,
To stumble in the dark, praying for vision?
To strain with every step, trying to listen...
How many times?
How often must my heart suddenly shatter,
To wait for unseen Hands to piece together
This puzzle that no longer seems to matter
Chorus:
The sky is burned black, but the starlight persists
I cannot turn back,
When I've seen the morning follow so many nights like this
Oh, I've seen the morning follow so many nights like this...
Oh Shepherd King,
How many fallen sheep do You reach out to,
Who know Your gentle hand, but still won't trust You,
The stubborn, frightened flock that I belong to...
CHORUS
(bridge)
Oh, lay me down in the meadows of soft and green grass
Guide me and shelter my soul in Your perfect path
Tell me what I ought to know--that my broken past
Is healed and transformed in Your house
Chorus 2:
The night is turned back
By the dawn's early mists
My joy knows no lack
I can see the morning follows on every night like this
Oh, I've seen the morning follow so many nights like this
