[Verse 1] Late-night street, hush in the glow Faithful faces fading like radio snow Paper-thin vows, mirror-bright lies Double-heart whispers under violet skies [Pre-Chorus] But You hear the fragile sighs Of the small and the sore, and You rise [Chorus] Your words—silver in the furnace, seven times refined Cut through the static and settle my mind Keep us, keep us, from this drifting generation Hold us close in Your preservation [Verse 2] Tongues build thrones with a casual grin “Who will rule us?” they boast in their skin But promises polished by holy fire Outlast the smoke of our proud desires [Pre-Chorus] You lift the needy from the night Say, “Now I arise,” and set things right [Chorus] Your words—silver in the furnace, seven times refined Cut through the static and settle my mind Keep us, keep us, from this drifting generation Hold us close in Your preservation [Bridge] When the cheap shines bright and the vile walks tall When the empty gets the loudest applause Your voice stays warm like a midnight light Steady and pure in the long, long night [Chorus] Your words—silver in the furnace, seven times refined Cut through the static and settle my mind Keep us, keep us, from this drifting generation Hold us close in Your preservation [Outro] Guard us, keep us—every side, every hour In the quiet, Your pure words flower
