Though I?m pressed on every side

I still know I?m not abandoned

Though the ways of God aren?t mine

I still know I?m not forsaken

Take all the breath in my lungs

You?ll hear the rocks crying glory to God

Take everything that I?ve got

And you?ll see two empty hands lifted up

You may silence me

The cross forever speaks

Though I?m filled with questions why

I still know I?m not abandoned

Though I suffer in this life

I still know I?m not forsaken

Take all the breath in my lungs

You?ll hear the rocks crying glory to God

Take everything that I?ve got

And you?ll see two empty hands lifted up

You may silence me

The cross forever speaks

Forgiveness for

My enemies

Mercy and grace

I am set free

The price of love

Is paid in full

His blood poured out

How beautiful

Take all the breath in my lungs

You?ll hear the rocks crying glory to God

Take everything that I?ve got

And you?ll see two empty hands lifted up

You may silence me

The cross forever speaks
