Lyrics

A generation is rising up
where selfishness abounds
Get what you want no matter who you're gonna hurt
you're the only one who counts
I see this attitude and wanna walk away
but you encourage me to stay
my eyes miss what only yours can see
and then I realize it's not about me
You pour out love
You empty your grace
You show mercy
and you show your face

This world is broken way beyond repair
we need you to come back
we're feeling the despair
what once was paradise has faded away
come and rebuild it
but this time please stay

You pour out love
You empty your grace
You show us mercy
and you show your face
You're a father to the fatherless
And a friend to the friendless
Bringing hope to the hopeless
Giving life to the lifeless (x4)

You pour out love
You empty your grace
You show us mercy
and you show your face
Such beauty we have never known
You take us in and you call us your own
such beauty we have never known
you take us in and you call us your own
You pour out love
You empty your grace
You show us mercy
and you show your face (x2)
