You see our struggles and our sorrow
                    A#m
I am already on my knees
                    F#
I am an echo of the hero
                           C#
who faced the fires before me
                     F#
He is the arbiter of comfort
                          A#m
making his place in the unknown
                            D#m

this is the pathway to his home

F# C#                 D#m   A#m          F#   C#   D#m A#m
     when we are crashing as waves along the shore
F# C#           D#m    A#m            F# C#   D#m A#m
     we’re grasping the God who broke before
