Help in Hard Times - Carrie Newcomer

I am learning to walk with grace in the dark

I am learning to trust and to lead with my heart

When the old moon is gone into silence and sighs

It’s the one and only time a new moon can rise

Sometimes there is no reason, the moon waxes and wanes

It was the 100 year flood and you were in the way

Some things we find in daylight and we’re grateful to know

Some things we only learned where we did not want to go

I can’t tell you it will all turn out fine

But I know is there’s help in hard times

Bruised and bewildered I am looking out the door

Unsure of how to do what I’ve never done before

But I am not alone, with my questions and my fears

When the old moon is done, the new moon appears

I’m inspired and troubled by the stories I have heard

In the blue light of evening all boundaries get blurred

And I believe in something better, and that love’s the final word

And that there’s still something whole and sacred in this world

I can’t tell you it will all turn out fine

But I know is there’s help in hard times

Sure it could, it could all be just fine

But I know there is help in hard times

All I know is there’s help in hard times

All I know is there’s help in hard times
