Take our sorrows Take our tears Heaven's not so far From here Though we struggle Hear us pray There will be a better day Show us mercy Give us rest Hold the weary To your breast And for the child who Lost his way There will be a better day Chorus: Hallelujah Hallelujah There will be a better day Sweet forgiveness Shining light Lift the darkness Of the night Help us find The strength to say There will be a better day Chorus
