[Intro]
In the pews we find our names in the quiet light
Hands held like fireflies, guiding through the night
[Verse 1]
I come with broken pieces, worn and weathered small
But hands reach out in mercy, and love collects us all
Buttons of the old hymn glow, a compass for my heart
We lift each other higher when the road falls apart
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stumble in the gravel, your laughter clears the way
Faith anchors the sunrise, turning night to brighter day
[Chorus]
We rise in the mercy of a forgiving dawn
Brothers and sisters, we’re never alone
Hope is a river that carries us home
We sing until the heavy fear is gone
[Verse 2]
Some days the shadows whisper doubts along the stairs
Still we gather in the bell’s deep chime, and there we pray and share
Redemption isn’t distant, it lives in every praise
In the chorus of the faithful, we rewrite the days
[Pre-Chorus]
When the weight feels endless, your truth becomes my air
We mend the broken places with love that stays and cares
[Chorus]
We rise in the mercy of a forgiving dawn
Brothers and sisters, we’re never alone
Hope is a river that carries us home
We sing until the heavy fear is gone
[Bridge]
If a neighbor falls behind, we lift them with our hands
If a dream seems distant, we walk the stretch that stands
Together we remember, we anchor what's been shown
That mercy multiplies when every heart is known
[Chorus]
We rise in the mercy of a forgiving dawn
Brothers and sisters, we’re never alone
Hope is a river that carries us home
We sing until the heavy fear is gone
[Outro]
May grace remind us daily: we’re part of something bigger still
In every shared tomorrow, we keep choosing faith and will
