all we need is in his power to give us.
let the light that lies within his heart
illuminate our being.

life can be hard on a family.

basses mum's in the kitchen, she won't speak to dad.
altos uncle's ashamed of the good time he had.
tenors brothers and sisters are lifting the roof
with the music they play all night.

preacher but people still want a family life,
nothing replaces the love and affection.
pull up the drawbridge,
tempers are frayed, but it's like that.

altos don't be dismayed if it's like that.
basses like that.

boys and altos god is good, in him we'll live for ever,
satisfied inside his grace and glory.

full safe and sound in his eternal love,
we have found salvation.
