Here in the Midst with Us
(Psalm 56)
God,
When we are lowly,
When we are like Job,
You are here in the midst with us.
When we are hurting,
When our soul is weeping,
You are here in the midst with us.
And God, You say that You keep track of all our sorrows,
That You collect all our tears in Your bottle;
You are here in the midst with us.
And when we cry out,
God, You hear us,
You are here in the midst with us.
And when the battle is too hard,
When our strength is all but gone,
You are here in the midst with us.
Lord Of All That Is And That Is To Come,
Mighty Warrior,
Everlasting Redeemer,
You are here in the midst with us.
When we have nothing left,
You are still Holy,
And you will fight for us.
Praise be the Name of God!
The Everlasting Father who fights for us.
King of Love,
King of Glory,
You fight for us!
And who can stand against You, Lord?
All creation bows at Your feet.
You,
Lord Almighty,
You fight for us!
Oh,
What love is this?
Our breath cannot but sing praises to Your Holy Name.
