The Pain That Plagues Creation

I've posted this song before, but it accurately describe my state of mind this week. I've been doing a bit of groaning, and I'm longing for renewal of all things.

As this planet falls around the sun trapping us in the orbit 

Creation groans in unison like a race of frightened orphans

The darkness of this raging storm is covering up our portals 

But a yearning for the light is borne in the heart of every mortal

And day to day we ache 

With the pain that plagues Creation 

Night to night we lie awake 

And await its restoration

Heaven knows our lonely ways, heaven knows our sorrows 

And Heaven knows things that we don't know and the joy of eternal tomorrows

But through this glass we dimly see this world as it was made 

Oh and the good we know must surely flow 

From the heart of a kind Creator

And day to day we ache 

With the pain that plagues Creation 

Night to night we lie awake 

And await its restoration

So hold on in this restless age and do not fear your shadow 

Your alternating tears and praise are prayers that surely will matter

And day to day we ache 

With the pain that plagues this Creation 

Night to night we lie awake 

And await its restoration
