Had a hard year
Done more believing than seeing
Had a hard year
Beat down, somehow I'm still breathing
If I'm feeling low
It's 'cause I need somebody to lift me
And if I feel alone
It's 'cause I don't remember You with me
But You're with me
And the lilies have closed
The river still flows
And the Sun's still shining
The strength in my bones
And breath in my lungs
Ooh, there's songs worth singing
Even the darkest night
Is bursting in diamond lights
The lilies have closed
The river still flows
And the Sun's still shining
The struggle is real
But my faith will bloom in this valley
Even right here
I'm fine and graced for the journey
The promise of Your peace
Will weather every storm that's within me, mmh
One day I will see
Until then, I believe that You're with me
Yeah, You're with me, oh
The lilies have closed
The river still flows
And the Sun's still shining
The strength in my bones
And breath in my lungs
Ooh, there's songs worth singing
Even the darkest night
Is bursting with diamond lights
The lilies have closed
The river still flows
And the Sun's still shining
If I feel alone
If I feel alone
Saying bye to my
Saying bye to my fears
Saying bye to my
Saying bye to my fears
Hello, good morning
I can see the light
I got brand-new eyes
Time to say goodbye
Saying bye to my
Saying bye to my fears
Saying bye to my
Saying bye to my fears
Hello, good morning
I can see the light
I got brand-new eyes
It's time to say goodbye
Saying bye to my
Saying bye to my fears
Saying bye to my
Bye to my fears
Hello, good morning
I can see the light
I got brand-new eyes
Time to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
