my heart's been breaking for you
Since the day your towers
And now the wind is blowing cold
New York, my soul is praying
Taken for the ones they love
And now the nights are getting darker
Hope is gone, but hope is not gone
So lift up your eyes to the heavens
For that's where your help comes from
Open your heart to the maker
He wants to make your heart his home
When he makes his home in you
He'll chase away the fears you knew
He knows your name, he knows your pain
With his hands he'll carry you
And after all is said and done
I shine much brighter than the sun
So lift your eyes up to the skies
Look out, I'll his grace on you
The world is grieving with you
It's like we became one of you
It's not so painful to say
This was happening in America.
My heart started to sink.
And I started praying and I said,
and I pray for those who are hurting.
Do not understand what is going on.
Lord, bring healing to this nation.
Bring healing to New York.
To every individual, Lord.
We pray, we claim this victory.
In your holy name, Jesus.
I know tomorrow may seem bleak
that His tender mercies never cease
He wants to lead you to believe
That He still cares, in New York
So lift up your eyes to the heavens
For that's where your help
Open your heart to the maker
He wants to make your heart His home
When He makes His home in you
You chase away the fears you knew
He knows your name, He knows your pain
With His hands He'll carry you
And after all is said and done
You shine much brighter than the sun
So lift your eyes up to the skies
For God has shed His grace on you
When He mixes all with you
And takes away the fears you knew
He knows your name, He knows your pain
With his hands he'll carry you
But there's truth to all he's
He'll shine much brighter than the sun
So lift your eyes up to the skies
For God has shed his grace on you
the world is grieving with
