Warender

Why do you hide your face?
Why are you so far away when wicked men
Bend low to press their will with thrones?
Why don't you intercede?
Why don't you come with speed
To wreck the tyrant's scheme?

You lift me up from the darkest hollow
You took the weight around my neck
That was keeping me down
You pull me up to see your empire
Where wars expire
And your kingdom knows rest

I'm at the end of my rope
I'm at the end of all hope
Darkness rushes me with fearless mockery
Pretension, my old friend, vying for recompense
Messiah come descend!
You lift me up from the darkest hollow
You took the weight around my neck
That was keeping me down
You pull me up to see your empire
Where wars expire
And your kingdom knows rest

I found rest in your border
Uncovered peace in your kingdom

You lift me up from the darkest hollow
(I found rest in your border)
You took the weight around my neck
(Endowed with peace in your kingdom)
That was keeping me down
You pull me up to see your empire
(I've found rest in your borders)
Where wars expire
And your kingdom knows rest
(Endowed peace in your kingdom)

You lift me up from the darkest hollow
You took the weight around my neck
That was keeping me down
You pull me up to see your empire
Where wars expire
And your kingdom knows rest
