When we're born, You sustain us
And at the start of each day
Morning turns into evening
And You have not gone away
And when the enemy rises against us
As we know it will every day
You show us, Lord, Your comforting greatness
You deserve every word of our praise
You deserve every word of our praise

If we speak like angels
Or in all languages pray
But we don't love like You, Lord,
We're just a din on display
Without You, Lord, we're a pointless noise
But in You we sing new songs every day
You protect us, so Lord we rejoice
You deserve every word of our praise
You deserve every word of our praise

We will make our home
Wherever the Lord may lead
Serving Christ alone,
We’ll live as a family 
There is hope in the place of catastrophe,
In what we choose this day 

How I miss the color of her smile
The living light she'd pour into my day
A breathing of the air again, a whisper to my trusted friend,
A gathering of life upon her face

Chorus:
I want to say this to the children:
Life is harder than you ever thought it would be
But in the darkness of the pain,
Standing on the edge of hell,
What is true may still be hidden,
Like a book high on a shelf
Persevere in love, my sons and daughters,
Do not leave the well
You will find the living water
When you serve someone besides yourself
