Father in Heaven, hear me now Hold this world when it shakes somehow Teach us mercy in fearful days Guard our homes and guide our ways We are tired, we are torn (we are torn) Still we kneel before the dawn Lift our eyes above the smoke Break the chains of fear and hate Make our wounded spirit whole Turn our anger into grace Fortify our hearts Save us from the dark Lead us through the storm Keep us from falling apart Fortify our hearts Make the broken strong Let Your holy light Bring us safely home (safely home) When the tables are set in peace When the restless hands release Let no child inherit war Let no door be closed in fear Make us builders, make us kind (make us kind) Leave the cruelty far behind Lift our eyes above the smoke Break the chains of fear and hate Make our wounded spirit whole Turn our anger into grace Fortify our hearts Save us from the dark Lead us through the storm Keep us from falling apart Fortify our hearts Make the broken strong Let Your holy light Bring us safely home (safely home) If the night comes close again If our faith feels thin and small Send Your calm through every land Stand between us and the fall (stand between us) Let the proud hearts learn to bend Let the lost come home again Fortify our hearts Save us from the dark Lead us through the storm Keep us from falling apart Fortify our hearts Make the broken strong Let Your holy light Bring us safely home (safely home) Fortify our hearts
