Build Us Back

This song was just released by Know Hope Collective , a group started by Mark Stuart and Will Mcginnis (formerly of Audio A). Its about Haiti, but also the hope that God offers to every situation in each person's life. It really gave me joy this morning. There's nothing better than facing the facts that we're helpless and we have a God who can build us back up from anything!
We’ve been crumbled, we’ve been crushed
City walls have turned to dust
Broken hands and blistered feet
We walk for miles to find relief

When the thief takes, when our hopes cave
You build us back
You build us back
When the earth shakes, when the world breaks
You build us back
You build us back

We are scared, we are poor
All our safety nets are torn
We’ve been humbled to our knees
From these ruins, we believe

Redeemer, redeem us
Restorer, restore us
Oh build us back
Though the mountains be shaken, the hills be removed
Your unfailing love remains
After all that’s been taken, Your promise, still sacred
You build us back with precious stones
