YOU HOLD THE BROKEN-HEARTED
You stand beside the weak
You go to those in darkness
And so must we
Your heart is for the outcast
For those we call the least
You lift the broken spirit
And so must we
God of hope
God of futures
You can take a broken heart and make it sing
God of life
New tomorrows
You can shine the light that changes everything
You go to those forgotten
The faces we don’t see
You give Your life to save them
And so must we
A God who speaks, opens graves
With one word our God saves!(x2)
James Gregory & Guy Bastable
