It’s Sunday once again
The silence feels so near
I drown in heavy thoughts
Because I can’t be with you
This distance between us
That seems impossible to break
It pulls me down
There’s nothing I can do for us

If only we could take (some steps)
And meet (halfway)
Hope can drive the (darkness out)
So healing can (begin)
If we could reach out (our hands)
So this pain would fade (away)
That a new time may (find us)
And the beauty of love (prevail)

We’re standing far apart
And hear so many stories
Of a God of mercy
Searched for since forever
But if we feel the same Spirit
That surrounds us all
How can it be that we lose
Ourselves in hate
The answer lies so near

[ ( Women Choir singing ) ]

If only we could take (some steps)
And meet (halfway)
Hope can drive the (darkness out)
So healing can (begin)
If we could reach out (our hands)
So this pain would fade (away)
That a new time may (find us)
And the beauty of love (prevail)

I know it’s so very hard
To ask for forgiveness
And to say what we need
Why are we so merciless
Every word of the other
Feels wrong
Yet truth has many sides
Why are we so merciless
Trapped in bitter strife

When will we finally be ready

We can take these (steps)
And meet (halfway)
Hope can drive the darkness (out)
And healing will begin)
Now we reach out our (hands)
So this pain will fade (away)
That a new time may (find us)
And the beauty of love (prevail)

We can take these (steps)
And meet (halfway)
Hope can drive the darkness (out)
And healing will begin)
Now we reach out our (hands)
So this pain will fade (away)
That a new time may (find us)
And the beauty of love (prevail)
