Because of Who You Are

Words and music by David MacDonald © 2004

There’s a child reaching out tonight
I see him standing in your Holy Light
With his brother standing by his side
Got a fire burning deep inside
There are families that are torn apart
Trying to find the pieces of their broken hearts
Lord have mercy as we call on your name

We are weak, but You are strong
As we weep you give us what we need to carry on
Who are we that you would pour out your love
It’s because of who You are

There’s a river running through the field
Giving life to the farmer’s seed
There’s a River running through the pain
Giving hope so we can start again
There’s a Light shining in the dark
So we can find the pieces of our broken hearts
Lord have mercy as we call on your Name

We are weak, but You are strong
As we weep(on our knees) you give us what we need to carry on
Who are we that you would pour out your love
It’s because of who You are

Some things in life are hard to understand
Only in the depths of your love is there an answer
To the questions hidden deep inside our hearts
Where we can find hope to make a brand new start
