God is preparing me for a new time
God is teaching me to live for him each time
and only tribulation produces patience in me
loneliness and I will never steal the certainty of their presence

God is teaching me to live
God is teaching me to dream
God is preparing me to see
all the promises that I will win
God is teaching me to obey
God is teaching me to love
and while I hope my blessing
God is teaching me to love
teach me, God is teaching me to love

In flood, the exodus, in prison
Hunger, the scarcity in the dry hinterland
In the heat of the desert, the sea was open q
Q project that never worked
Q weep in mourning their dead
In the rubble of an earthquake
In the ruins of a fallen wall
Q crying in the mother lost her baby son
In cry of fear, the pain in silence
Pens in the palace, in hymns of praise
In the pit of lions, in the death of cross
In drops of blood shed q JESUS
In trials, the persecution
In the notes of many and many and many, many songs

Me teaching, God is teaching me to love
