Let Us Know You

(Where does my hope come from?)

my friends have sent me letters
I've read them all and then
I tried to make sense of the stories
but I was overwhelmed

so much anger, so much pain
we've had to go numb to survive

so I am closing my eyes
and I'm praying for those in my life
let us feel, let us love
let us be alive, let us know you

my friends have shared their secrets
and I have given mine
the anarchy of what we think
no one will ever find

in the daylight, to our suprise,
our secrets are shades of the same

so I am closing my eyes
and I'm praying for those in my life
let us feel, let us love
let us be alive, let us know you

in the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with You
You parted the seas
held up the flame in the night to guide us through
you drew in the sand
dropped the stones from violent hands
heard the cry of the crow
and set Your eyes on a faithless friend

You are who You are, and You are and You were and will be

so I am closing my eyes
and I'm praying for those in my life
let us feel, let us love
let us be alive, let us know you
