We’ve got stiff necks, weak-knees And tendencies to wander We’ve got empty hands and pockets All our fortunes have been squandered And to see our situation You would think that we were done But it ain’t over till it’s over And even then you overcome You made cosmos out of chaos You made Adam out of dust You made wine out of the water You’ll make something out of us You make light shine in our darkness You make life to conquer death You make children out of sinners You’ll make something of us yet You’ll make something of us yet We want our way Like David with Bathsheba We are dreamers, we are schemers Like Jacob the Deceiver But you meet us at the river And you show us a good fight Then you bless us and you name us And make morning of our night You made cosmos out of chaos You made Adam out of dust You made wine out of the water You’ll make something out of us You make light shine in our darkness You make life to conquer death You make children out of sinners You’ll make something of us yet You’ll make something of us yet We fall asleep Instead of standing by you Yeah we boast as big as Peter And then just as quick deny you But you’ve always made disciples Out of prodigals and worse Just by giving us your Spirit You make us into your church You made cosmos out of chaos You made Adam out of dust You made wine out of the water You’ll make something out of us You make light shine in our darkness You make life to conquer death You make children out of sinners You’ll make something of us yet You’ll make something of us yet
