There is a battle in the distance
I see it flashing in the sky
It's gonna be a long long night
All that was holding you together
Is crumbling apart
And left you with an aching heart
Take my hand
Here I AM
Love is gonna make it right
Just hold on, just hold on
With mercy in the morning light
When you're weak, love is strong
Hold on
There is a river in the desert
I feel the wind's about to change
And you won't ever be the same
I'm gonna carry you through fire
I'm gonna hold you in the rain
You don't have to be afraid
Take My hand
Here I AM
Love is gonna make it right
Just hold on, just hold on
With mercy in the morning light
When you're weak, love is strong
Hold on
Everybody lift your eyes
Morning light has finally come
And Love is gonna make it right
Just hold on, just hold on
With mercy in the morning light
When you're weak, love is strong
Hold on
