I know I'm getting on in years
Not many mornings left to go
I don't take any day for granted
Each is a precious gift, I know

But when another falls to shadows
It's time to grieve with those they've known
This plague has made it even harder
We bear our sadness so alone!

Chorus:
For Paradise awaits
All who sleep in You
One day we all will wake
Remade and named anew
But now we mourn,
So give us, Lord,
A chance to laugh and cry
To gather with Your people
And simply say goodbye

Darkness fell
Like nothing I'd known before
An unexpected war
Cut off my lifelines

Food and song,
Shared with beloved friends,
Came to a crashing end
Now tell me, who am I?

Chorus:
But when we go through the desert lands
You help us see
Every bloom comes from Your hands 

We were scattered to survive
Seeds sent underground alive
Will we grow, or will we die
Buried alone?

Is this strange, unknowing dark
Just a grave, or saving ark?
Will we still know who we are
In this new home?

Chorus:
Lord, give life to us, scattered far and wide
With so much uncertain, help us trust You to provide
Lord, give life to us, fill this empty time
Help our roots grow deeper into rivers of Your life

O heartless puppet king, 
You took my children to the grave
But this, my chance to mourn, 
I will not let you steal away

The pow’rful clench their fists
And our prospects start to dim
In grief God meets us mourning,
And each morning we are His

Let weeping fill the streets
Let weeping fill the streets
O comfort me no more
My children are no more

Chorus:
Return, oh Lord, and rescue my soul
Save me in Your kind, endless love

Oh Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
Be gracious to me, LORD, for I weaken;
Oh heal me, LORD, my bones suffer attack.

Pre-Chorus:
My soul is bent and bruised;
Oh Lord, oh Lord, how long?

Chorus:
Answer me quickly, Lord,
My spirit is failing
Do not hide Your face from me
Or I'll be like those in the grave
Let me hear mercy, Lord,
Lovingkindness at daybreak
In Your way won't You lead me
For I trust in You to save

Hear my prayer, oh Lord,
Give ear to my pleading
Righteous and faithful You are
So answer my entreaty
Judge me not, oh Lord,
For I am still Your servant
No one alive is righteous in Your sight

Out of despair, I cry a prayer:
Hear my voice, oh Lord!
Let Your ears be list’ning for me;
Let mercy be my reward.

 Chorus:
Oh Israel, put your hope in the Lord
For in the Lord is unfailing love
And full redemption

If You had been counting our sins,
Oh Lord, who could survive?
But You forgive again and again;
We rev’rence You, God on high

My soul is full of trouble;
I am pulled towards the grave
On the list of doomed and dying,
Weak, forsaken, like the slain

Whom You pull your hand away from
And forget like faded paths
You have put me in the deepest,
Darkest pit beneath Your wrath

Chorus:
Lord, God of my salvation,
I call both day and night
Allow my prayer before You,
Tilt Your ear to hear my cry

Refrain:
We ache and rejoice, we long and we fear
For mercy and justice to visit us here
We tremble and trust as the Day of the Lord comes near

Days of injustice drag on
Corruption and sin all around
But when He returns to make everything right,
Will anyone righteous be found?

REFRAIN

Why does the Lord seem so far
Away from our suffering and pain?
Dear children of God, hear the Spirit and hope
O trust and do not be afraid

My eyelids rise again,
Like the Lord on Easter Sunday,
But a stony silence weighs upon my heart.
The sunrise coming in
Through the window of a new day
Fails to find the valley of my dark.

Sometimes when I wake up I am
Not so sure that I want to be
Dragged into this world of pain again.
I wish that I could just roll over,
Turn my back on consequences
Of a world that’s soaking in its sin . . . its sin.

Chorus:
But even in the valley, You lead me to the pasture,
A stream running with laughter.
For You are here beside me,
To humble and to guide me,
And suddenly my eyes can see:
I will awake in my Daddy’s house
Every morning . . . every morning.

Waking up is the hardest part 
The sound of alarm is the lead of my heart
The silence seduces me back towards sleep;
Desire to have you alive comes, so selfishly

I never thought much before
About the value of your support
The knowledge that you would hold me until I cried
I cannot call up these tears
Though I'm surrounded by so many fears
The missing of your laughter leaves me cold, so cold

And I am drifting down the stream in- to a waterfall, and I am trapped beneath the froth Swimming for the surface, and reaching for the sides, and I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and I am so afraid of drowning Chorus: This is my fear, this is my cry-- Who will save me in my hour of drowning? I cannot hear, I cannot see-- Darkness and gravity are all around me Lord, hear my cry...

All that I thought that I wanted
Was to love someone
And to be loved in return
Now I find I am haunted
By the images
Of how I gave my heart… away

I am holding a razor blade,
Double-edged, within my fist
As the sharpness sinks into my skin,
My arm begins to twitch
Oh, the pain is almost unbearable,
But something's keeping me
From the self-control I must have to let go,
To set me free

Can you feel my pain?
Do you know my sorrow,
What I've given, why I feel so hollow?
Love was never meant to be like this. (x2)
