Take away this curse of sin.
See us in your loving kindness,
Have compassion once again.
For your mercy is unbroken,
But this shattered earth were on
Makes us wonder if you're with us
Wonder if we'll see the dawn
Christ, we're told, has slain the darkness
Called us into glorious light
Made us living who were dying
Brought us out of endless night.
But can His victory truly triumph,
When our way seems dark and cold?
God lit our paths but never promised
our sojourn roads be paved with gold
Come our Lord, shine brightly in us
Cause our weary souls to sing
Song of joy, not lamentation
Songs of hope, not suffering
Come dear Lord, come swiftly lead us
Cause our broken hearts to praise
On the road through death's dominion
On the road to endless days
