Everything I ever loved, I ever treasured,

Everything I ever used to measure blessing in my life and how much you love me,

It all fell away. It crumbled slowly.

Disillusionment enfold me; I had gone out full, but I came back empty.

I couldn’t see through broken dreams but I believe,

You took my hands and you emptied them

So you could fill them up with your presence, God.

You took my heart and you broke it in your hands

So you could sew it up with your cords of love.

This journey started in the darkness,

But something keeps my feet upon this road; I know the dawn soon is coming.

This seed of hope is small and feeble,

But in your hands I know that it will grow until the birds have a place to nest

here.

If I never see what you can see, still I’ll believe,

You took my hands and you emptied them

So you could fill them up with your presence, God.

You took my heart and you broke it in your hands

So you could sew it up with your cords of love.

There’s a song in my heart.

There’s a song in my heart now that you are good.

3x

You took my hands and you emptied them

So you could fill them up with your presence, God.

You took my heart and you broke it in your hands

So you could sew it up with your cords of love.

With your cords of love

Your cords of love
