lyrics

We sing hope

When the words to these songs are stuck in my throat
When my voice dries up like the dust on this broken road
When I've got splinters in my fingers from trying to scrape some faith
When I've got blistered eyes from searching out the author of grace

When faith stands by watching me choke and demanding that I sing
When hope is a game for children unafraid of what the years bring
When love rings trite and hollow and bitter and false and cold
When breath is labored and shallow, I'll find the strength to do just what you told

On this road marked with suffering and your footprints
With love and loss, scars and stones bearing witness
As your persistent light and warmth begin to melt the frost
My tired eyes and calloused hands fixed upon the cost

Till you break the silence and answer my cries
Till my pain pales before your glorious light
Till your unrelenting love strikes me dumb at last
I will give you no rest

We sing hope

Till you break the silence and answer my cries
Till my pain pales before your glorious light
Till your unrelenting love strikes me dumb at last
I will give you no rest

We sing hope

about

The Great Homesickness Ann Arbor, Michigan

That longing for everything fractured to be mended. That loss of ground and finding it again - bittersweet, brokenhearted, and dumbstruck with wonder. Love is in it all.
