My faith is strong, it rests on high
In Him who hears my every cry
When every breath turns to a sigh
I know that in His arms I’ll lie.

There is none besides our God
The one who wipes away our tears
I know because it’s Him I fear
That I will always hence rejoice.

From that day when my heart changed,
Not on my own, but by His grace,
I’ll serve Him now day by day
Lord, let your name be proclaimed.

There is none besides our God
The one who wipes away our tears
I know because it’s Him I fear
That I will always hence rejoice.

I will not fear of death or pain
Despite this rocky, rough terrain,
Because in God I will remain.
I know that life will come with rain.
A hymn of faith and commitment.

The thunder's growling at me and I don't know how to respond;
I've got the same problem as he:
The sky's rubbing me the wrong way,
And if I could yell like the clouds then I would.
But I don't have the strength.

When you let the pain linger
And feel everything take effect,
A thousand satellites shiver
At that one song your tears respect

When you long for what’s past
You know happiness could be obtained
If you’d just let your mind relax.
But your shelter’s in this sad refrain.

So you let the music’s swell increase
In a way no words could e’er describe
But maybe when the lyrics cease
You could once again take up the fight.

Let your eyes open to me.
Let the furrows of your heart smooth when you see me.
Forget all the things that are ruined completely.
I do not wish
for you to hide
so finally.

Let me run my hands over your bruises
Let our souls become paired by the pace of our sighs.
I’m familiar to the sound your chest makes when it fuses.
But still l can see
when the soft light
pries.

If you will just let our faint ghosts meet
Then I will let your thin fingers touch mine
Don’t let your blood lose its beautiful beat,
But instead let’s lock eyes
and I’m sure
we’ll be fine.

— The End —
