Outside this Window

Outside this window there’s a depot

A hub where people come and go

Here and there they wander – to missions unknown

Some filled with purpose, some wandering astray

Seeking direction – trying to find their way

 

And you remain standing – unshaken and still

A lighthouse of direction in seas that can run rough

A beacon reminding that you love us,

And that love is enough.

 

Outside this window there’s a steeple,

A cross covered in the rain

The clouds have rolled in and still it remains

A steady symbol of hope, the attentive can’t ignore,

There is the one - who still calms our storms

 

You remain standing – unshaken and still

A lighthouse of direction in seas that can run rough

A beacon reminding that you love us,

And that love is enough.

 

Outside this window there’s a world

A wealth of experience and need.

A meager shadow puppet of what it was supposed to be.

A shell and a frame purposed for so much more

Longing for a carpenter to rebuild and restore.

 

And you remain standing – unshaken and still

A lighthouse of direction in seas that can run rough

A beacon reminding that you love us,

And that love is enough.

 

Outside this life there is a heaven,

A place of wonder and relief

A work begun and completed by a savior’s mercy.

In that place there’s a people, God himself has rescued

Where there’s a new name waiting for me and for you.

 

Hallelujah, Our God makes all things new

Hallelujah, The Lord will see us through
