Lyrics

Does a sign portend a curse?
Does the whale contain the man?
Does your candle hold the flame?
Does a minute keep us forever?
Or does a calendar hold our days?

Does the word contain the sound?
Can our lives be more than this?
Does a day hold out our end?
Does the night hide our sin?
Or does God hold back the wall?

In us all
In me
In you
In us all
I feel a time begin
With the thought
Oh

Does the game contain the prize?
Do you have it in your hand?
You have seen the awesome sight.
Draw a force from the jaws of night.
God is, and was, and is separate.

In us all
In me
In you
In us all
I feel a time begin
With the thought
Oh

And oh my son (oh my son)
Though I send you, send me (though I send)
I shall, yes, I shall be with you (send me)
Can you can you (I shall be)
rejoice; oh God let me rejoice (yes, with you)
For God holds you -- from your mouth
He shall burst forth (exuberant)
And He will conquer, He will transcend our failure
