From babies hidden in the shadows To the cities shining bright There are captives weeping Far from sight For every doorway has a story And some are holding back the cries But there is one who hears at the night Great God Wrap your arms around this world tonight Around the world tonight And when you hear our cries Sing through the night So we can join in your song And sing along yeah, We'll sing along From the farthest corners of the earth Still his mercy reaches Even to the pain we cannot see And even through the darkness There's a promise that will keep us There is one who came to set us free Great God Wrap Your arms around this world tonight Around the world tonight And when you hear our cries Sing through the night So we can join in your song And sing along, yeah We'll sing along So let your song rise And fill up the earth Let your hope ring out Let your heart be heard So let your song rise And fill up the earth Let your hope ring out Let your heart be heard Oh, great God Wrap Your arms around this world tonight Around the world tonight And when you hear our cries Sing through the night And we will join in your song And sing along, yeah We'll sing along We'll sing along We'll sing along We'll sing along We'll sing along We'll sing along We'll sing along Great God Wrap your arms around this world tonight Around the world tonight And when you hear our cries Sing through the night And we will join in your song And sing along We'll sing along Great God Wrap your arms around this world tonight Around the world tonight And when you hear our cries Sing through the night And we will join in your song And sing along We'll sing along Yeah We'll sing along We'll sing along We'll sing along We'll sing along
