Not Our Way

Though the world comes crashing down
Though the worst that can happen actually does
Though it all looks bleak, like evil wins
Still you stand unshaken

Not indifferent to our pain
Not unfeeling to our loss
No, below it all you hold us
Silently whispering love's assurance

Beyond our understanding
Beyond what we imagine
You arrive behind the scenes
Turning red to green and our darkness to light

So we will wait in the pain
So we will watch for the light
Not in the way we expect
Nor in the time we would hope

In your way and in your time
You will turn our mourning into laughter
You will heal our wounds
You will set things right
