We welcome You, Holy Spirit We're so grateful for Your friendship So grateful for Your friendship What difference does singing songs make in a world of chaos And we sing our songs in the midst of the pressures of life Around Your people who are going through incredible heartache and remarkable pain But, we just refuse to allow the pain to silence the song We've decided and determined in advance that we will sing Even in the middle of all that life would bring in that We don't sing out of fantasy We don't sing to seek to make our problems go away We sing as those who have pursued joy, contended for joy and been captured by joy Our song is not a trouble-free song Our song is in the midst of trouble that says we will not be defined by depression We will not be defined by pain, we will not be ruled over by the voice of the enemy That we are governed by One voice, One faith, One hope, and One Lord And we lift up our song to Him, for what else can we do If we didn't sing, would not even the very stones around us begin to proclaim His goodness and His greatness
