Crisis after crisis, it’s a crazy life we live
Troubles, conflicts, breakdowns,
Haven’t got much left to give
Anger, clamour, noise, ringing telephone
Anybody have some peace to pass around
Crisis after crisis, an exhausting way to live
What an exhausting life we live. I’m tired
What an exhausting life we live. I’m tired
Walking on the sea making storms obey: “Be still!”
Demons, sickness, hopelessness and grief
Cast out at will
Troubles, conflicts, breakdowns
Carried to the cross
Satan overthrown at a staggering cost
Crisis after crisis, a victorious life he lived
What a victorious life he lived. What a life!
What a victorious life he lived. What a life!
Lives going up in smoke.
Oh Lord, please help us cope
Father of mercies, please strengthen us.
Comfort us
Suicide on the rise.
Heartbreak, despairing cries
God of all comfort, please strengthen us.
Comfort us
Neglect, abuse and hate.
Families separate
Jesus we need you
Jesus we need you
Jesus we need you
Please strengthen us, comfort us
Crisis after crisis
Lord, we need some peace
Troubles, conflicts, breakdowns
We’re begging for relief
Anger, clamour, noise
Lord, we crave some peace
Hopelessness and grief
Praying for relief
