Somewhere there's a mother waking up To news in the night that she cannot bear And somewhere the whole earth is quaking Making dust of the city that was standing there Well who can say if the trouble comes from Above or below or the hands of fate I just pray when the trouble does come You help us to remember the promise you make I know, neither death nor life Not the past nor the present nor Things to come No foe, neither depth nor height Can separate us From the love of Christ Today there's a church group meeting Though the government already burned their building down They say there's no kind of beating That can take away the peace and the joy they've found They know I know, neither death nor life Not the past nor the present nor Things to come No foe, neither depth nor height Can separate us From the love of Christ Though we go through the valley's shadow And we live out our lives in these dangerous times Still we know every step that we go We don't have to walk alone, You walk by our side We know I know, neither death nor life Not the past nor the present nor Things to come No foe, neither depth nor height Can separate us From the love of Christ Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ
