about

A lament and prayer for the people of Ukraine.

lyrics

And when the winter's coming on
And all the colors start to fade
Remember all that you have known
The cycle turns and life goes on
And you will feel the sun again

And when your world is torn apart
And all is taken from your hands
Cling to the faith that you have known
And the love that makes you whole
And He will fill your heart again

Love goes on, like a river flows
Faith holds strong, even as the horror grows
Lord look down, and hear Your children's cries
Keep them safe, and hold them in Your light

And as the world is looking on
Thinking that we can feel your pain
Remember all that you have known
The cycle turns and life goes on
And you will feel the sun again

Love goes on, like a river flows
Faith holds strong, even as the horror grows
Lord look down, and hear Your children's cries
Keep them safe, and hold them in Your light
Please keep them safe, and hold them in Your light
