You Will Be There and There You Will Remain

From the rubble I ran to your feet
From my dispair, I found you there
When all that I knew brought me shame
you looked upon me gently and gave me a name
when arrows came down upon me and pierced the pain
your sheild covered and stayed
you were there, and there you remain

When the rivers rose
and humility came
your branches reached out and saved
no tide could take me, no mighty wave
for your love lifted and stayed
you were there and there you remain

Nights came and brought the cold
no body for warmth, no hand to hold
walls enclosed the silence
where pictures once spoke
you visited me and softly spoke
you are not alone
Peace you came not understood
you were there and there you remain

In midst of the darkest shadows, where you can't find your feet
and the chains pull you deeper
like sinking weight
faith, hope, peace defeat
Requests lift and angels meet

you are there, there you remain
you were there, there you will be

When the clouds break and ruin gives way
and all that was lost is remade
when faith rises and heartbreak ceases
you will be there and there you will remain
