I thought the sky would split in two

The day I called Your name

I thought the storm would lose its teeth

And fire would lose its flame

But the house still shook at night

And fear still knew my name

I kept looking up for hands

But nothing really changed

I heard people say

“You never leave”

So where were You

When I couldn’t breathe?

Over and over again

The light went out

Over and over again

I filled with doubt

I watched good hearts break

I watched strong people bend

And I kept asking why

Over and over again

I watched laughter fade away

From faces once alive

Watched the strongest people I knew

Barely even survive

I prayed with shaking hands

Like a child lost in the rain

But heaven stayed so quiet

Over and over again

Still something pulled me close

When I should’ve walked away

Something kept whispering

“Just survive today”

Over and over again

The waves came down

Over and over again

We nearly drowned

I watched the world take

More than it should’ve taken

Still I heard Your voice

In the middle of the breaking

Over and over again

Maybe faith ain’t thunder

Maybe it’s the flame

That somehow keeps burning

When everything has changed

Maybe You were there

In the silence and the pain

Holding what was left of me

Over and over again

(Over and over again) over and over again

I almost let go

Over and over again

But something wouldn’t let me fold

Now I don’t need the sky

To open up and descend

‘Cause somehow You stayed near

Over and over again

Over and over again

The night still comes

But now I know

I don’t face it alone
