VERSE 1
all the broken, all the pained
He calls us now, calls by name
light is breathed into a darkened soul
oh God hear the tired call
CHORUS
You make new and soon this love will cover it all F Am G/B C Em D/F# Here you are above You rule over it all We are new
VERSE 2
all the weary, all the strained
let us love now because He gave
hope is breathed into the anxious soul oh God,
calm the anxious soul
BRIDGE
the door is open come and feast
sup with me beside the least
and those you’ve loved along the way
can say I’ve found this missing peace
The earth and heavens soon remade
But here my heart is new today
in You despair has gone
and left a hopeful song there in its place
ache is here, but soon we’ll know
how all the painful chapters close
And those that call upon the Son,
will Spirit seal and Father hold
death and sin have lost it’s true
you call to those that turned from You
If we were buried with a king
then we will rise and sing then too
