It's not the news that any of us hoped that we would hear,

It's not the road we would have chosen, no.

The only thing that we can see is darkness up ahead –



but you're asking us to lay our worry down and sing a song instead.



And I didn't know I'd find you here, in the middle of my deepest fear,

but you were drawing near, you were overwhelming me with peace.

So I lift my voice and sing: "You're gonna carry us through everything!"

You were drawing near, you're overwhelming all my fears with peace.



You say that I should come to you with everything I need.

You're asking me to thank you even when the pain is deep.

You promise that you'll come and meet us on the road ahead.

And no matter what the fear says, you give me a reason to be glad.



And I didn't know I'd find you here, in the middle of my deepest fear,

but you were drawing near me, you were overwhelming me with peace.

So I lift my voice and sing: "You're gonna carry me through everything."

You were drawing near, you're overwhelming all my fear.



Here in the middle of the lonely night, here in the middle of the losing fight,

you're here in the middle of the deep regret, here when the healing hasn't happened yet.

Here in the middle of the desert place, here in the middle when I cannot see your face,

Here in the middle with your outstretched arms, you can see my pain and it breaks your heart.



And I didn't know I'd find you here, in the middle of my deepest fear,

but you were drawing near, you were overwhelming me with peace.

So I lift my voice and sing: "You're gonna carry me through everything!"

And you were drawing near, you're overwhelming all my fears with peace.



Rejoice, rejoice! Don't have to worry about a single thing,

'Cause you were overwhelming me with peace.

Don't have to worry about a single thing! You're gonna carry us through everything.

Overwhelming peace.
