Blue Skies

on days of gray
when doubt clouds my view
it's so hard to see past my fears
my strength seems to fade
and it's all I can do
to hold on til the light reappears
still I believe, though some rain's bound to fall
that you're here next to me
and you're over it all
Lord, the sky's still blue
for my hope is in you
you're my joy
you're the dream that's still alive
like the wind at my back
and the sun on my face
you are life
you're grace
you are blue skies
you're my blue skies
when nights are long
seems the dark has no end
still we walk on in light of the truth
for waiting beyond
where the morning begins
is the dawn, and your mercy anew
oh, to believe we're alive in your love
there is so much to see
if we keep looking up
you fill the heavens with hope and a higher love
a picture, a promise for life
