[instrumental—solo cello, adagio molto] God walks beside us—never far, We dwell beneath His quiet star; He knows, He loves, each breath, each scar, The nights and mornings that we are. Our errors, aching, lose their sting When carried home to heaven’s King; We lay the broken offering— And mercy teaches hope to sing. He pours the power that will part The iron clouds around the heart; Turn, trust, receive the gracious art— Come, meet the Christ: new life to start. O make us clean, translucent, clear, To follow where Your steps appear; Through doubt, through darkness, still draw near— Till faith is sight and sorrow, cheer. He pours the power that will part The iron clouds around the heart; Turn, trust, receive the gracious art— Come, meet the Christ: new life to start. Wait, listen, hold His every word, Let every heartbeat be assured; With Jesus, let the path be blurred No more—our home is heaven-ward. He pours the power that will part The iron clouds around the heart; Turn, trust, receive the gracious art— Come, meet the Christ: new life to start. He pours the power that will part The iron clouds around the heart; Turn, trust, receive the gracious art— Come, meet the Christ: new life to start.
