From amidst the pain I can hear the cries of dying nations For a thousand years They've been calling out for sweet salvation [Channel:] And time after time They've put it all on the line For the promise of a much better way But their eyes fill with tears as the joy turns to fear As they watch it all just drifting away If they could only hear me when I say [Chorus:] I believe that His loving arms Are waiting to hold them forever I believe that His faithful heart Is calling them out of the cold In a dark, cold world There's a lonely girl whose heart is breaking There's a boy who seeks And his mind is ripe just for the taking [Channel] They learn what they can From whatever's at hand With the promise of a much better way But when life doesn't change, and the struggles remain Still God is there to work through the pain If they could only feel His warm embrace [Chorus] [Channel] And time after time We put it all on the line For the promise of a much better way But when life doesn't change, and the struggles remain Still God is there to work through the pain If we can feel His warm embrace [Repeat]
