  • There is strength within the sorrow
    There is beauty in our tears
    And You meet us in our mourning
    With a love that casts out fear
    You are working in our waiting
    You're sanctifying us
    When beyond our understanding
    You're teaching us to trust

    Your plans are still to prosper
    You have not forgotten us
    You're with us in the fire and the flood
    You're faithful forever
    Perfect in love
    You are sovereign over us

    You are wisdom unimagined
    Who could understand Your ways
    Reigning high above the Heavens
    Reaching down in endless grace
    You're the lifter of the lowly
    Compassionate and kind
    You surround and You uphold me
    And Your promises are my delight

    Your plans are still to prosper
    You have not forgotten us
    You're with us in the fire and the flood
    You're faithful forever
    Perfect in love
    You are sovereign over us

    Your plans are still to prosper
    You have not forgotten us
    You're with us in the fire and the flood
    You're faithful forever
    Perfect in love
    You are sovereign over us

    Even what the enemy means for evil
    You turn it for our good
    You turn it for our good and for Your glory
    Even in the valley, You are faithful
    You're working for our good
    You're working for our good and for Your glory

    Even what the enemy means for evil
    You turn it for our good
    You turn it for our good and for Your glory
    Even in the valley, You are faithful
    You're working for our good
    You're working for our good and for Your glory

    Your plans are still to prosper
    You have not forgotten us
    You're with us in the fire and the flood
    You're faithful forever
    Perfect in love
    You are sovereign over us

    You're faithful forever
    Perfect in love
    You are sovereign over us Writer/s: Aaron Keyes, Bryan Brown, Jack Mooring
