In the shadow where fear walks loud,
And the skies are torn and gray,
We stood trembling, hearts unbowed,
As the night stole light away.
Smoke and sorrow, cries of flame,
Echo through the ruined land—
But in the ashes, still we name
The One who holds our hand.
O God, we thank You through the fire,
You stood beside us in the storm.
When all the world fell to the mire,
You kept our spirits warm.
Though terror tried to break our song,
Still we rise and still we pray—
For in Your grace, we’re ever strong,
And dawn shall light our way.
We have seen the wrath of hate,
Heard the silence of the d**d,
But You, O Lord, did not forsake—
You wept where angels tread.
When the towers turned to dust,
And hope was hard to see,
We found our courage, found our trust
In what You called us to be.
O God, we thank You through the fire,
You stood beside us in the storm.
When all the world fell to the mire,
You kept our spirits warm.
Though terror tried to break our song,
Still we rise and still we pray—
For in Your grace, we’re ever strong,
And dawn shall light our way
:
Let justice roll, let mercy speak,
Let hearts be mended, strong not weak.
We do not kneel to fear or foe—
With You, we rise from all below.
O God, we thank You through the fire,
You stood beside us in the storm.
When all the world fell to the mire,
You kept our spirits warm.
Now let the anthem ring above,
A song of sorrow turned to praise—
You are our fortress, hope, and love,
Forever and always.
