Long Winters

(Verse 1) I’ve walked through the valleys where days seem so long, Searching for echoes of a forgotten song, Looking for strength in shifting sand, Reaching for someone to hold my hand. The world makes a promise then watches it fade, Leaving us lost in the debts we have paid, But there's a whisper that breaks through the night, A steadying rhythm, a flicker of light.... (Chorus) For every long winter, for every "how long?", For every heart searching for where they belong, The answers aren't scattered like dust in the wind, Or hidden in places where we’ve never been. In the face of the silence, in the midst of the fear, A resonant truth is beginning to clear, Every promise God's made, every word that He said, Is a "Yes" and "Amen" in the life that He led! (Verse 2) It’s not in the strength that I find in my chest, But the Lord's Grace that invites me to rest, When I am weary and can’t find the way, God's Word is the sunrise at the end of my day. It’s the bridge o'er the river, the hand in the dark, The flame that remains from a flickering spark, Christ doesn't falter, He doesn't think twice, His blood's my redemption, He paid the highest price..... (Bridge) It’s settled in heaven, it’s finished on earth, A love that defines what a soul is worth, No matter the distance, no matter the stain, God's truth is the healing that swallows all pain! (Chorus) For every long winter, for every "how long?", For every heart searching for where they belong, The answers aren't scattered like dust in the wind, Or hidden in places where we’ve never been. In the face of the silence, in the midst of the fear, A resonant truth is beginning to clear, Every promise God's made, every word that He said, Is a "Yes" and "Amen" in the life that He led! (Outro) So I’ll breathe assured, For God's word true, The "Yes" is for me, and the "Yes" is for you, In every heartbeat, in every breath, God's Love that is stronger than longing or death! AMEN, AMEN, GOD'S PROMISE IS TRUE, LORD MY WHOLE LIFE IS WRITTEN BY YOU.
