When sorrow settles at my door And I can’t bear the weight no more You whisper softly through the flame “Child, I have always known your name.” The road is long, the night is deep And still You watch while I may weep For every scar and silent cry Is held beneath Your watching eyes Though the storm may shake my soul Your faithful hands will never let me go So let me answer pain with trust And place my heart in heaven’s love For treasures fade and kingdoms fall But You remain beyond it all Until the shadows pass away And mercy turns my night to day I’ll see through every tear and trial Your kingdom’s dawn was worth the while Not every prayer will end the rain Not every loss escapes the pain But even in the darkest place Your light still finds my trembling faith And when my strength is wearing thin Your Spirit breathes new life again Reminding me this suffering Is not the end of everything One day the broken will be healed One day the hidden truth revealed And every burden that I bore Will lead me to Your golden shore So let me answer pain with trust And lift my eyes beyond the dust For time can never steal away The hope You planted deep in grace Until the shadows break and fade Beneath the light Your hands have made I’ll sing forever, unafraid Your kingdom’s dawn, eternal day
