The hour is dark and it's hard to see
What you are doing here in the ruins
And where this will lead
Oh but I know that down through the years
I'll look 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 en ough
I'll testify of the seas that we've crossed
The waters you've parted the waves that I've walked
Singing oh my God did not fail
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
Singing oh I know it is well
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 en ough
I'll testify of the seas that we've crossed
The waters you've parted the waves that I've walked
Singing oh my God did not fail
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
Singing oh I know it is well
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
And all that is left is highest praises
So sing hallelujah to the rock of ages
And all that is left is highest praises
So sing hallelujah to the rock of ages
Singing oh my God did not fail
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
Singing oh I know it is well
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
And I'll testify of the battles you've won
How you were my portion when there wasn't en ough
I'll testify of the seas that we've crossed
The waters you've parted the waves that I've walked
