We Hold You Up (Lyrics)

when the wind of change
breaks the window of pain
we will hold you up
when the midnight rain
is falling again
we will hold you up

there is candle on the altar of God
shining in the dark

we hold you up
in the heart of the night
we hold you up
when you’re tired of trying
we hold you up
to the author of life
we will be holding you up

when the shifting sands
are hard to understand
we will hold you up
when darkness falls
and the emptiness calls
we will hold you up

there is candle on the altar of God
shining in the dark

we hold you up ...

every time you listen to the rustling leaves
you celebrate the kingdom that no one has seen
Creation’s whisper to a heart in need
that walks by faith and not by sight

we hold you up ...
