The hour is dark
And it's hard to see
What you are doin'
Here in the ruins
And where this will lead
Oh but I know
That down through the years
I'll look on this moment
I see your hand on it
And know you were here
And I'll testify of the battles You've won
How You were my portion when there wasn't enough
And I'll testify of the seas that we crossed
The waters You parted, the waves that I walked
Oh oh oh, my God did not fail
Oh oh oh, it's the story I'll tell
Oh oh oh, I know it is well
Oh oh oh, it's the story I'll tell
Believing gets hard when options are few
When I can't see what you're doing
I know that you're proving
You're the God who comes through
Oh but I know
That over the years
I'll look back on this moment
And see your hand on it
And know You were here
And I'll testify of the battles You've won
How You were my portion when there wasn't enough
And I'll testify of the seas that we crossed
The waters You parted, the waves that I walked
Oh oh oh, my God did not fail
Oh oh oh, it's the story I'll tell
Oh oh oh, I know it is well
Oh oh oh, it's the story I'll tell
All that is left is highest praises
So sing Hallelujah to the Rock of Ages
All that is left is highest praises
So sing Hallelujah to the Rock of Ages
All that is left is highest praises
So sing Hallelujah to the Rock of Ages
All that is left is highest praises
So sing Hallelujah to the Rock of Ages
And I'll testify of the battles You've won
How You were my portion when there wasn't enough
And I'll sing the song of the seas that we crossed
The waters You parted, the waves that I walked
Oh oh oh, my God did not fail
Oh oh oh, it's the story I'll tell
Oh oh oh, I know it is well
Oh oh oh, it's the story I'll tell
It's the story I'll tell
It's the story I'll tell
