Refrain: In every changing state of mind from ecstasy to deep despair, the Spirit beckons till we find the strength to pray, the will to care. By grace we grasp a thread of hope and walk the shifting sand, until the thread becomes a rope held fast by Jesus' hand. In barren places we will sing our dusty voices clear, and by our daily choices, bring God's healing presence near. Yes, God is with is where we are, and knows our deepest fear; though seeming distant as a star, our God, in Christ, is here.
