Hope & Sorrow
[Verse 1]
Your water moves, it ebbs and flows
It burns like fire in my soul
It shakes in ways I can't control
And can't even explain
Oh the love of God is deep and wide
The heart of God, beauty defined
The love of man's a fickle tide
Why do you love us so?
[Chorus]
Oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
[Verse 2]
I wish I knew my father well
Maybe one day we'll sit a spell
Stare deep into that holy well
Of eyes so blue and gray
Your demons are the same as mine
And in choosing words you take your time
You are a poem that doesn’t rhyme
It is beautiful that way
[Chorus]
Oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
[Verse 3]
My brother is a lonesome man
On whom the shadows did descend
But brother, I will be your Samaritan
Oh I would walk through fire for you
The sky may fall, the earth may quake
The rafters and the walls may shake
But it's the little things which separate
A brother from his own
[Outro]
And oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
And oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
Your water moves, it ebbs and flows
It burns like fire in my soul
It shakes in ways I can't control
And can't even explain
Oh the love of God is deep and wide
The heart of God, beauty defined
The love of man's a fickle tide
Why do you love us so?
[Chorus]
Oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
[Verse 2]
I wish I knew my father well
Maybe one day we'll sit a spell
Stare deep into that holy well
Of eyes so blue and gray
Your demons are the same as mine
And in choosing words you take your time
You are a poem that doesn’t rhyme
It is beautiful that way
[Chorus]
Oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
[Verse 3]
My brother is a lonesome man
On whom the shadows did descend
But brother, I will be your Samaritan
Oh I would walk through fire for you
The sky may fall, the earth may quake
The rafters and the walls may shake
But it's the little things which separate
A brother from his own
[Outro]
And oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
And oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
