In the dark night 
Is there a shelter or a rescue light? 
Is there a fire burning up the plight  
that plagues my shallow heart? 

Because lately, I swear this world is just a maze to me 
My eyes are blinded by the things I see 
That are tearing us all apart 

So God of the universe 
Do You hear the cries that pour out from all the earth? 
Can Your hands of glory reach down and heal the hurt of the broken? 

For so long, the hands of hunger held an empty song 
Under the burden that they don't belong 
It's the poverty of the soul 

But the weight of, the weight of glory can still rise above 
Capture the captives on the wings of love 
And carry us to our home 

So God of the universe 
Do You hear the cries that pour out from all the earth, 
Can Your hands of glory reach down and heal the hurt of the broken? 

And God of eternal things 
Will You give us eyes to see all the light You bring? 
Will You be the voice that causes our hearts to sing for the broken? 

Can we fall in love again for the first time? 
We wanna fall in love again just like the first time 
Can we fall in love again? 

God of the universe 
When we hear the cries that pour out from all the earth 
Will You give us hands to reach out and heal the hurt of the broken? 

And God over everything 
Will You give us eyes to see all the light You bring 
Will You be the voice that causes our hearts to sing for the broken?
