I woke up to the sound of my own heartbeat
Opened my eyes to the light that's been waiting for me
Could the Holy One be this good to me?
My cup overflows; how it frightens me

Lately, I have found myself grieving
How every death was once a beginning
And I want to thank Him for the morning
But it feels like every blessing comes with its own ending

(Chorus)
Through every open door, there's a wall
And a window that I've never seen before
I may not walk any further, but still the light got through
So in every ending, show me the window and turn my gaze to You

You know how much I have come to love them
And You know how it makes me nervous
But if missing someone is what it takes to love and be loved
Then I will give thanks for my grieving, because I have loved someone

Though death may speak his notion first,
Life will be the final word

Windows

What would make all-Wisdom pray
That the Father take this cup away
If the answer’s already sweating from His brow?
Beneath the weight of certainty 
He asked for another way
Because the holy One was broken and full of grief

Be still, broken heart
He is God over where you are
Your grieving doesn’t mean your unbelief 
Because Hope fell down in sorrow, pleading for relief 
So may the Mourner from the garden be your Comfort and your Peace

Just days before
He stood beside a closed tomb door
And wept for all the weeping of this world
He knew the fullness of the Love that was at work
And how the ending it would bring new life, but death would still come first

Oh to feel the comfort of a mystery
The Man of all Sorrows delights to care for me
