When…

Chorus:
I know that where you are taking me
Is better than where I’ve been
And no matter the circumstances
You are my faithful friend

When the sun breaks from its slumber
In the brilliance of a new day’s dawn
I will sing praises to your name!
When the day looks like the night
Because of a cold and dark winter storm
I will sing praises to your name!

When I flee from my captivity
That’s been oppressing me for years
I will sing praise to your name!
When I am a free man
Walking through the dessert waste
I will sing praises to your name!

When I am rescued from impending doom
That I know that I deserve
I will sing praises to your name!
When it rains for forty days
And dark clouds consume the earth
I will sing praises to your name!

Bridge:
You are the only rightful heir, His majesty the king of all
You are the only Holy one, the worthy Lamb and God’s own son
You are the one who took my place, you died for me that I might live
You are my faithful friend!

When I’m standing on the mountain
And I see you in your glory
I will sing praises to your name!
When I’m walking in the valley
And I feel death pursuing me
I will sing praises to your name!
