[Jeremy Camp:]
No I don't have to be afraid
Oh, when this storm is in a rage
You won't though, be around, get your minds on the ground
When I seek You, You alone know my strengths
Earth shakes, hearts break, things change
Life fades away, but You don't, You don't, You don't
Oh-oh, days and stars burn out like kings died
But You don't, You don't, You don't
Oh, oh...
The world is pulling me apart
When I am treading in the dark
When my feet feel abound
When I need to be found, that's when I'll remember who You are
Earth shakes, hearts break, things change
Life fades away, but You don't, You don't, You don't
Oh-oh, days and stars burn out like kings died
But You don't, You don't, You don't
Oh, oh...
[Marty:]
Yeah, You're the King of Kings in control of everything
My sin doesn't make You afraid, Your love doesn't change
I spent most of my life just tryin' to run away (Uh)
But You never gave up and quit that's why I'm here today (Yeah)
And every day I get it wrong, I need all of Your grace
You took the shackles off my feet, I'm no longer a slave
[Fern:]
Stop protectin' what's hurtin', you can't heal if you run (Stop)
I'm getting better every day when I rest in Your love (Uh-huh)
And I'm moving at the pace that You're gracefully
Used to be ashamed, but You took all the blame for me
When the storms came You covered me from the raging sea
Inside of the secret place You made for me, You stayed with me
[Jeremy Camp:]
Earth shakes, hearts break, things change
Life fades away, but You don't (You never change, You stay the same)
You don't, You don't
Oh-oh, days and stars burn out like kings died
But You don't, You don't, You don't
Oh, oh
I know You don't...
Oh, oh...
You don't
