Even Though

Even though I know the leaves will fall in time,

even though hello is promise of goodbye,

even so I dare to say it,

brave to say that You are good.

Even though I know the dawn is red with wounds,

Even though I know the heartache comes too soon (for the children),

even so I dare to say it,

brave to say that You are good.

Chorus

I’ll leave You to Your own defense

against the angry arguments,

all I can sing is what I know:

that You’ve forgiven me and then

You give me breath, and breath again,

and You’re waiting for me down the road

Even though the refugees know nothing’s sure,

even though I know they wondered where You were,

even so I dare to say it,

brave to say that You are good.

Even though I know I don’t know fear at all

like the little girl when secret footsteps fall in the hallway,

even so I dare to say it,

brave to say that You are good.

Chorus

I’ll leave You to Your own defense

against the angry arguments,

all I can sing is what I know:

that You’ve forgiven me and then

You give me breath, and breath again,

and You’re waiting for me down the road

This craziness has turned me upside down,

that’s because You’re not finished turning it around.

Even though I know the leaves will fall in time,

even though I know You made our eyes for crying,

even so I dare to say it,

brave to say that You are good;

even so I dare to say it,

brave to say that You are good;

even so I dare to say it,

brave to say that You are good.
