The Spirit of God moves over the face

Of the troubled waters of our age

And new life stirs in time and space

E'en where the dance of death may rage!

Stripped of all security,

We stand and our spirits strain

Bereft of all we thought life should be

God is all that remains!

 

For the answers we seek

And the words that we speak

Can never satisfy

The answer that finds us

Serves to remind us

That the light of redemption draws nigh!

 

For a greater darkness than this world has seen

The light of life laid down to die-

The sun was blotted out on that day

Darkness coudn't cover His forsaken cry!

But out of that ultimate darkness so deep

The most staggering light has shown forth

For the darkness could not comprehend it

But to us Truth has been made known

 

Though the darkness may reign

In hearts of pride and of pain

We will see a day when its done

When even blind men realize

Though you gouge out your eyes

You cannot escape the rising of the Son!
