Couplet 1

We’re living in the borderline
A place between
The now and yet to come
And one day we will see
In full what now is hidden
And so we wait
And while we journey on
Pilgrims on our way back home
We pray to face the light the dark
Each hidden part
And lean upon
Our aching need for God

Couplet 2

We hide we show ourselves
We dance between
The shadow and the sun
And as we hold
The tension of the two extremes
Oh truth
Lead us through it all
The valley days the mountain highs
The joy the grief the change of time
Let us learn to hold the hand of God
In every part of life
As He holds us in the shadow and the sun

Refrain 1

God in the morning time
God in the fading light
God from beginning to the end
God in the wilderness
God in the whispered prayer
God in the turning of the tide

Refrain 2

God of the new born breath
God in the face of death
God who is making sense of life
God of the days to come
God over all that’s gone
God through it all
He holds us in the shadow and the sun

Outro

He holds us in the shadow and the sun
