What do you do
When life goes on
After your world has crumbled
All around you
How do you walk on
When the landscape
Of your future
Seems forever changed
How do you awaken
When your only peace
Seems to come
During fitfully blessed sleep
Surely the world should stop
Everything has changed
In a moment, in an instant
Nothing seems as it was
This… this thing
Has clouded all else
It obscures my faith
It blots out my hope
Even though I can’t feel it
I must trust
My foundation is sure
My base is still secure
All around me
Life goes on
Despite my tragedy
Even though I’m shattered
And breath comes hard
Even though silence screams
And memories press in
I will rise
Not with strength, but resolve
Not because I am whole
But because He holds the pieces
For though I cannot see it
And though I may not feel it
God is still God
And life goes on
So will I
