Lyrics
This is the groaning
As You count every tear we have sown
And we trust what those tears will become
This is the stretching
Making room for our hope to arrive
Knowing You come to make us alive
To make us alive
We wait for light, we wait for rain
Behold the life born out of pain
Eyes to the dawn, we’re not afraid
We do not labor in vain
We will keep breathing
When the burden is too much to bear
We can carry it if You are there
And You will deliver
All Your children to freedom and joy
In our sorrow, we’re lifting our voice
Oh, we’re lifting our voice
We wait for light, we wait for rain
Behold the life born out of pain
Eyes to the dawn, we’re not afraid
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
This moment of affliction
Is a quickly passing story
And every heartbreak’s making
Us ready for Your glory
We wait for light, we wait for rain
Behold the life born out of pain
Eyes to the dawn, we’re not afraid
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
We do not labor in vain
