LYRICS
When the fig tree fails to blossom,
the grape refuses to grow,
when the olive dies in the treetops,
the field is scorched here below,
when the sheep are taken from us,
the cattle are gone from the stalls,
what is left to the measure of life?
What should we do when we fall?
CHORUS
I will thank God, he’s my Savior.
He gives me the strength to go on.
He gives me the sure-footed speed of the deer,
To higher ground he leads on.
When the child in me is broken
And I fail at what I would do,
Angry, ashamed and uncertain,
Not a hint, not a hope, not a clue.
When I lose my sense of direction,
I can't find my way back to you.
When questions don't seem to matter to me,
What is there left here to do?
CHORUS x3
There's also an "outro" that ends the song:
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
I will thank God
I will thank God
To higher ground he leads on
To higher ground he leads on
To higher ground he leads on
