Sudden healing 
D#            Bb 
To think that providence would 
Gm                   Cm                G# 
Take a child from his mother while she prays 
     Bb 
Is appalling 
 
Who told us we'd be rescued 
What has changed and why should we be saved 
From nightmares 
We're asking why this happens 
To us, who have died to live 
It's unfair

This hand is bitterness 
We want to taste it, let the hatred numb 
Our sorrow 
The wise hand opens slowly 
To lillies of the valley and  
Tomorrow 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge (Key of C) 
Am         F       C         G 
If hope is born of suffering 
Am         F       C         G 
If this is only the beginning 
Am                  E 
Can we not wait for one hour 
         C          Dm 
Watching for our Savior
