When the year has been unkind And the hearts of the people are broken When the winter is long and wild And life like the earth becomes frozen In the darkest night, there's a light that shines There's a hope that's burning in the shadows Like a seam of gold in a shattered world There is one who holds it all together If you're plagued by anxiety If you fear for the future's unspoken If you've nurtured your dreams from seed But the harvest has failed or been stolen In the darkest night, He's the light that shines He's the hope that's burning in the shadows Like a seam of gold in a shattered world He's the one who holds it all together ♪ (Holds it all together) (Holds it all together) (Jesus, He holds it all together) See the light shining Hope is arising Every sorrow Traded for joy Creation is longing His kingdom is coming So hold on Hold on See the light shining Hope is arising Every sorrow Traded for joy Creation is longing His kingdom is coming So hold on Hold on ♪ You're the risen Christ You're the morning light And the hope that lifts me from the shadows Like a seam of gold In my shattered world You're the one who holds it all together
