lyrics

joy unspeakable
joy
when i see your face again
but i have weary roads to travel
until then

how am i to walk
without
the light shining from your eyes
that now dimly lights shallow breaths
in the desert of my mind

hail to the victor
not to me
he gave his son first
willingly
but You have your son back
my arms are empty
where is the hope?
i need You to show me

how does one dry tears
without
hardness of heart
I’m sure that to soften
would be to fall apart

i lay down in a river of pain
that never will run dry
the weight of which i cannot bear
the depth of which will blind my eye

hail to the victor
not to me
but You are God
i am me
surely there’s a difference
in capacity
am i to bear it eloquently?
