[Verse 1] Naomi came with empty arms And dust upon her shoes The road was one she'd walked before The grief was something new She named herself the things she'd lost And wore them like a name But mercy walked beside her still Though nothing looked the same [Pre-Chorus] You meet us in the longest night And hear this honest prayer [Chorus] Bring good from here, bring life from loss You know the road; You bore the cross Jesus, work beyond my sight Through the pieces of this life I don't have to call it easy I don't have to call it fair I can trust the heart that holds me Jesus, bring good from here [Verse 2] Ruth gathered grain along the edge And chose another day To walk beside a weary heart When she could walk away You worked inside the ordinary Beyond what they could see A child, a king, a Savior's line A hope that reaches me [Pre-Chorus] The love that worked across the years Is working even here [Chorus] Bring good from here, bring life from loss You know the road; You bore the cross Jesus, work beyond my sight Through the pieces of this life I don't have to call it easy I don't have to call it fair I can trust the heart that holds me Jesus, bring good from here [Bridge - quiet, then building] I don't ask You for a story Where no tears have ever been I am asking for Your mercy In the life I'm living in Make me more like You through sorrow Keep my heart from turning cold Jesus, use what I would bury For a good I can't yet know [Final Chorus] Bring good from here, bring life from loss You know the road; You bore the cross Jesus, work beyond my sight Through the pieces of this life I don't have to call it easy I don't have to call it fair I can trust the heart that holds me Jesus, bring good from here [Outro] Not one page beyond Your mercy Not one night beyond Your care
