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!
