And so we live in between
A world of pain and evil
Your presence here now
Promising a healing yet to come
The ache and the hope
The tears and the joy
Heaven within
While hell rages without
A path through Mordor
A vision of Rivendell
Anguish and trials
Yet a heart at rest
Neither fully here
Nor there either
In between
Living heaven in hell
Yet pasque flowers grow
At the edge of the snow
Blooming promise
Of summer to come
This is us, our call
To live what will be
Though winter boasts
Spring will prevail
