Sorrow came to visit us today
Was the longest day, was the loneliest day
Sorrow came to steal our hope away
Only tears can tell of this holy hour
This mountain’s high, too high for us
Sorrow came quicker than a fire
Was the longest day, was the loneliest day
I feel Your hand, the warmth, sweetest smile
But You slipped away, through the great divide
Your ways are high, too high for us x4
Only You, only You, can pull me over it x2
Pull me, drag me, hold me, keep me, want me
While You pull me over it
Take me, heal me, make me, break me, love me
While You pull me over it X2
