There is strength within the sorrow There is beauty in our tears And You meet us in our mourning With a love that casts out fear You are working in our waiting You're sanctifying us When beyond our understanding You're teaching us to trust  Your plans are still to prosper You have not forgotten us You're with us in the fire and the flood You're faithful forever Perfect in love You are sovereign over us  You are wisdom unimagined Who could understand Your ways Reigning high above the Heavens Reaching down in endless grace You're the lifter of the lowly Compassionate and kind You surround and You uphold me And Your promises are my delight  Your plans are still to prosper You have not forgotten us You're with us in the fire and the flood You're faithful forever Perfect in love You are sovereign over us  Your plans are still to prosper You have not forgotten us You're with us in the fire and the flood You're faithful forever Perfect in love You are sovereign over us  Even what the enemy means for evil You turn it for our good You turn it for our good and for Your glory Even in the valley, You are faithful You're working for our good You're working for our good and for Your glory  Even what the enemy means for evil You turn it for our good You turn it for our good and for Your glory Even in the valley, You are faithful You're working for our good You're working for our good and for Your glory  Your plans are still to prosper You have not forgotten us You're with us in the fire and the flood You're faithful forever Perfect in love You are sovereign over us  You're faithful forever Perfect in love You are sovereign over us
