the pain is an ocean

You have led me to the sadness
I have carried this pain
All my back bruised and nearly broken
I'm crying out to You

I will sing of Your mercy
that leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy

When death like a gypsy, Comes to steal what I love
I will still look to the heavens, I will still seek your face

But I fear you aren't listening, because there are no words
Just the stillness and the hunger for a faith that is yours

I will sing of Your mercy
that leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy

While we wait for rescue with our eyes tightly shut
Face to the ground using our hands to cover the fatal cut

Though the pain is an ocean
Tossing us around, around, around
You have calmed greater waters
Higher mountains have come down

I will sing of your mercy
that leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy

yeah...
