[Verse 1] I kept my lips shut tight in the crowd, Swallowed the spark as it flickered loud. Heat in my chest like a slow sunrise, “Teach me my end,” I say under sighs. Count out my days like lines on a hand, All that I stack slips out like sand. [Pre-Chorus] I chase the shimmer, it fades so fast, Hands full of air I cannot grasp. [Chorus] You—You are my hope tonight. Pull me from the wrong I hide. Wash me in the quiet light. You—You are my hope tonight. [Verse 2] So I went still; I would not speak, Knowing Your touch humbles the weak. When You correct, my glimmer thins, Like cloth unwound to the fraying ends. What we call gold turns dust in the beam, Breath on a mirror, gone in the steam. [Pre-Chorus] I chase the shimmer, it fades so fast, Hands full of air I cannot grasp. [Chorus] You—You are my hope tonight. Pull me from the wrong I hide. Wash me in the quiet light. You—You are my hope tonight. [Bridge] Hear my small prayer, notice my tears; I’m just a guest passing through years. Turn Your gaze soft—let me smile once more, Before I slip beyond the door. [Chorus] You—You are my hope tonight. Pull me from the wrong I hide. Wash me in the quiet light. You—You are my hope tonight. [Outro] Mere breath, mere breath—still I sing, Sojourner steps, and I cling to the King.
