New York My heart's been breaking for you Since the day Your towers all came tumbling down And now the wind Is blowing cold like in the winter But I want you to know You're not alone New York My soul is praying for your sons And your daughters Aching for the ones they love And now the nights They're getting darker and it seems That hope is gone But hope is not gone So lift up your eyes to the heavens Cause that's where your help comes from Open your heart to the maker He wants to make your heart His home And when He makes His home in you He'll chase away the fears you knew He knows your name He knows your pain And with His hands He'll carry you And after all is said and done He'll shine much brighter than the sun So lift your eyes up to the skies For God has shed His grace on you New York...New York New York...New York New York The world is grieving with you And on that day Its like we became one of you And from afar It was so painful just to see So we confess, we're short of words... My heart started to sink And I started praying -- I said, "Lord - I go before you I pray for those who are hurting For those who are crying And those who are grieving I do not understand what is going on Lord bring healing to this nation Bring healing to New York To every individual We pray and we claim this victory In your holy name, Jesus." New York I know tomorrow may seem bleak But God will show That his tender mercies never cease And through the years He wants to lead you to believe That He still cares New York New York The world is grieving with you
