Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:
1 When all you see is here and now ....

But God is, God is,
Greater than the fear you're facing
Greater than the storm that's raging
God is, God is,
With you when you cry, so cry out His name
‘Cause God is greater than the pain

2 He knows the trials His children face

But don't you dare let go now, don't let the candle blow out

3 His love is strong, so just hold on

He is mighty, more than able ...
.... He's a refuge and a Saviour, a Saviour.

See more ...


KEEP IN CASE ORIGINAL IS REMOVED, BUT DO NOT DISPLAY
When all you see is here and now
When everything is crumbling, falling to the ground

This is just a moment, this is not forever
I know it seems impossible when all your hope is gone

But God is, God is,
Greater than the fear you're facing
Greater than the storm that's raging
God is, God is,
With you when you cry, so cry out His name

‘Cause God is greater than the pain

He knows the trials His children face
He knows the tears that fall that we all have to taste

But don't you dare let go now, don't let the candle blow out

His love is strong, so just hold on
‘Cause He is with you through it all

He is mighty, more than able
To rescue and restore the ones He loves
He's a refuge and a Saviour, a Saviour.
