To give my gratefulness to you?
You rise between myself and me
With a wise persistency;

But by your grace, still I am whole.”

“There's a new sun rising
From a lost horizon
And the heat that it brings
Melts away all the things
That has made me stand still
Been a long time coming
So tired of running
I believe there's a reason
I came through the season again
It's my resurrection.”
