[Verse 1]
The table still got one less plate
Little shoes by the door, I still see they shape
Your room stay clean, but the air feel strange
I talk to the frame like it might say your name
Mama hold strong with her hand on the sink
Daddy look tired, but he still gon’ think
We learned how to breathe in the breaking days
How to walk through the hurt and not slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t got all the words
Just a heart that hurts
Still, I hear that peace
In the quiet church
[Chorus]
God is here
God is here
In the ache, in the tears
God is here
God is here
We stand straight through the years
[Verse 2]
The house got dents from the storm we lived
Couple cracks in the wall, but it still don’t quit
Mail on the floor, and the porch light low
Same old steps where the sorrow go
I was mad at the sky, mad at the day
Mad at the hole that would not go away
But I found a hand when I had none left
A steady kind of love in the middle of death
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t got all the words
Just a heart that hurts
Still, I hear that peace
In the quiet church
[Chorus]
God is here
God is here
In the ache, in the tears
God is here
God is here
We stand straight through the years
[Bridge]
If I bend, I bend
But I don’t break
If I fall down low
Love still waits
In the dark, in the dust
In the bent-up frame
He was there that day
He is here today
[Final Chorus]
God is here
God is here
In the ache, in the tears
God is here
God is here
We stand straight through the years
God is here
God is here
Still we rise, still we hear
God is here
God is here
We stand straight through the years
