We’ve all got our burdens, our secrets and our shames   We’ve all been discouraged and watched love fall in flames   And when we’ve hit the bottom of all we can bear   When we need you      You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night   Who looked into the void and called it light   And you’re faithfully providing for the trouble that we share   When we need you you’ve always been there      Blessed are the poor all around the world   Your children living under war and oppression   Cause you’re the man of sorrows, they whisper up their prayers   When they need you      You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night   Who looked into the void and called it light   And you’re faithfully providing for the trouble that we share   When we need you you’ve always been there      And how do we know in the dark of the night   To call out for you, Lord, to come with your light   We were born with you hidden on our hearts   And now we need you      You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night   Who looked into the void and called it light   And you’re faithfully providing for the trouble that we share   When we need you you’ve always been there   When we need you you’ve always been there
