Comfort, Comfort

(based off of Isaiah 40:1-2)

Break the ice off of the shallow pool

Shake the dust off the old footstool

With the dawn the songbirds cry

With mercy new and death of night

Ooooo Oooooo Ooooo Ooooo

The frantic pace and the busy streets

In a silent place where no one sees

Your story longs for a new word

A private pain no one’s ever heard

Ooooo oooooo oooooo oooooo

Chorus 1: And I cry

Comfort child

Comfort love

Comfort mine

And I cry

No more fear

No more war

No more will die

Chorus 2: And I

take your spear

I take your thorn

Take my life

End: Your regrets have been wiped away

All is forgiven, it’s a new day
