We've all got our burdens, our secrets and our shames
We've all been discouraged and watched love fall in flames
And when we've hit the bottom of all we can bear
When we need you
You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night
Who looked into the void and called it light
And you're faithfully providing for the trouble that we share
When we need you you've always been there
Blessed are the poor all around the world
Your children living under war and oppression
Cause you're the man of sorrows, they whisper up their prayers
When they need you
You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night
Who looked into the void and called it light
And you're faithfully providing for the trouble that we share
When we need you you've always been there
And how do we know in the dark of the night
To call out for you, Lord, to come with your light
We were born with you hidden on our hearts
And now we need you
You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night
Who looked into the void and called it light
And you're faithfully providing for the trouble that we share
When we need you you've always been there
When we need you you've always been there
