You would think only so much can go wrong
Calamity only strikes once
And you $$#ume this one has suffered her share

Life will be kinder from here
Oh, but sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night

When will it clear?

But our Hope endures the worst of conditions

It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged


How do we comprehend peace within pain?
Or joy at a good man's wake?

Walk a mile with the woman whose body is torn
With illness, but she marches on.
Oh, 'cause sometimes the sun stays hidden for years

Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?


But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake

Our Hope is unchanged

Emmanuel, God is with us

El Shaddai, all sufficient
We never walk alone
And this is our hope


But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism

Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged
