[**Verse 1** ] What if in the heat of the fight I fall, And strength to rise again won’t answer my call? Led by my faults, I let You down beneath it all, Lost in a haze of sin, I turned from truth’s bright hall. If through the valley of death I slowly roam, And halfway down the road my powers leave me alone, If in the desert dunes I sink like a stone, Finding my grave beneath the sand’s pale cone— Tell me, will You hear my cry, The trembling voice that reaches Your throne on high? Will You leave Your courts, Your endless reign above, And race to me, as promised in Your word of love? Will You stand close when I begin to fall, Stretch out Your hand above the abyss so tall? Or will You leave me to the wolves to maul, Stripped of faith, with no last hope at all? Answer—please reply, For Your answer means more than the sky; I need to hear Your voice ring true, To know You’re still beside me through and through. [**Chorus** ] I will not leave you, My son, I will never forsake you; If mountains rise between us, I’ll move them for My sake, too. If your heart has turned to ice, frozen hard and blue, I’m the ice-breaker sailing under the Triune flag—so true. I won’t leave you, I won’t turn away, I’ll shift the mountains standing in our way. If your heart is frozen, locked in winter’s gray, I’m the ice-breaker under the Triune flag. [**Verse 2** ] And if, worn out by the world’s relentless pace, I come with questions gnawing deep inside my case, Seeking mercy from heaven’s court, will You embrace, Or will it be too late to save me from disgrace? What if the ones I trusted, friend and kin, Turn on me without a cause, betray within? If in their schemes they seek my life to win, And fire the fatal shot that pierces skin— If they drag me to a court where I stand lone, Condemn me to long years of wandering far from home, Call me a clown, laugh till they’re overthrown, Drive me out with no defense, no cornerstone— Tell me, where will You then be? Will Your house still stand as home and sanctuary for me? Or will You turn Your back, let darkness be, And leave me hopeless, drowning in the sea? Answer—please make it clear, For I must know that You are near; I need the shelter of Your love above, To hear Your voice where every word is love. [**Chorus** ] I will not leave you, My son, I will never forsake you; If mountains rise between us, I’ll move them for My sake, too. If your heart has turned to ice, frozen hard and blue, I’m the ice-breaker sailing under the Triune flag—so true. I won’t leave you, I won’t turn away, I’ll shift the mountains standing in our way. If your heart is frozen, locked in winter’s gray, I’m the ice-breaker under the Triune flag. [**Bridge** ] I’ll melt that ice into an ocean wide, An ocean of unmeasured love and tide. I’ll dissolve the pain of every wound you bear, Upon My Father-heart—your burdens share. [chorus] I will not leave you, My son, I will never forsake you; If mountains rise between us, I’ll move them for My sake, too. If your heart has turned to ice, frozen hard and blue, I’m the ice-breaker sailing under the Triune flag—so true. I won’t leave you, I won’t turn away, I’ll shift the mountains standing in our way. If your heart is frozen, locked in winter’s gray, I’m the ice-breaker under the Triune flag.
