Oh Heaven-sent is this relief upon me
Though I am being tried and tested
Time and time again
Here is a drink, says the Lord
Here's a tall glass of water
In the sweet body of a song.
Here is a friend.
Here is a smile.
Melodies in harmony and all these voices
Sing
Sing for the Lord
Here's a sweet sweet retreat
From the tears of the world
Here are deep sun-born yellows
Sprinkled upon words
Of this flower
Our Savior
One green in a valley of thorns.
My bare feet
Ever moving
Upon this human field of glass
I cried out
From the pain
When this dull skin was slashed
And here I keep on moving
Though I sat today
And broke down
And I prayed
And you laid me in shade
On this paved ground
Of worship and song
And the words of my Father
Will move me along
I get up
And move on
I move on...
Sweet sweet relief
Here's a tall glass of water
A hand on your hand
And an arm 'round my shoulder
Sweet
Like a wind on a hot summers day
Or a rain after prayer
I know, God, that you're right there beside me...
Sing
And my trouble dissapears
Here's the music He's given to hear
Won't you rejoice in it?
Stand on a mountain
And let that sweet breeze of Him fill you
Dance like no one's watching
And let your eyes drip with joy...
I was lonely today
I went outside and hid from my family
Sat against that old truck in our backyard
And cried
And wrote down this long prayer
Asking God to please help me
Because I can't do this alone.
I was lonely today
Overwhelmed by these tests I've been blessed with
So much at one time
And I'm less ready than I thought
And I'm sorry, Lord
I could've handled it better
But you filled me with joy
When I didn't deserve it...
And I sing 'cause I love you
More than anything
I promise I love you
More than anything
You're my God
Always
You're my God
Always.
