another day, a better place

O Lord, You know I love You

That I’d never cause You pain

That I’ll follow You forever

Through hell, through death, through shame

Yes, I’ve made my resolution

To always stand up tall

But the rooster crowed this evening

And night began to fall

And I knew that I’d been called out

So hold me now when only hopelessness is found
And love me when my brokenness is all around
Kiss me in the dead of night, the lonely ache
And tell me now that I will see another day,
A better place

O You know I didn’t mean to

That I am crying for Your pain

That I don’t deserve to follow

I deserve Your scorn, Your shame

But I look across the courtyard

And I’m struck full by Your gaze

And I know what You are saying

You know me deeply in this place

And You adore me just the same

So hold me now when only hopelessness is found

And love me when my brokenness is all around

Kiss me in the dead of night, the lonely ache

And tell me now that I will see another day,

A better place
