Then I hear the music

Then I hear the music

by Joel Howard, a song

Darkness weighs upon us

Everlasting, it seems

Puzzle pieces scattered

We are stumbling,

"Woe is me, woe is me"

I never could believe 

What good this all could bring...

Then I hear the music

Come to life inside this broken land

"So long," all you sadness

All I see is gladness now emerge

Now I see God's goodness

In a land that is living

What was once a mystery

Makes sense to me,

When I hear the music

Do not underestimate

the beauty held within

Or the possibilities of paper and a pen

For when every person brings 
His part, her instrument

Louder than the ocean we will sing...

Then I hear the music

Come to life inside this broken land

"So long," all you sadness

All I see is gladness now emerge

Now I see God's goodness

In a land that is living

What was once a mystery

Makes sense to me,

When I hear the music
