Lyrics

Our world’s a little smaller every day
People, places and the things we love
Suddenly have gone away
The belt is getting way too tight
The walls are closing in
An everyone I know seems to be wearing thinner skin
You say that all you do is sit and cry
As you watch the daily news
Well, I have a little comfort I can offer you:

When the well runs dry
When the cupboards bare
You can know that God will still be there
Though sometimes it’s really hard to see
But when the tension’s high
When our hearts turn cold
Take comfort in knowing that God’s in control
And will be forever and ever

Here we go again
We see man’s inhumanity to man
It seems it’s everywhere
And everyone is trying to understand
Watching neighbor against neighbor
Watching towns go up in flames
And wondering how many more times
we’re gonna have to play this game
We hear shouts outside our windows
And riots in our streets
And then there’s threats of military force
From presidential tweets

But when the well runs dry
When the cupboards bare
You can know that God will still be there
Though sometimes it’s really hard to see
But when the tension’s high
When our hearts turn cold
Take comfort in knowing that God’s in control
And will be forever and ever
Friends may criticize my choice to bend my knees and pray
They try to tell me God’s not listening
But I can hear him every day
He tells me “Be strong and courageous”
And that’s what I try to do
And then he tells me not to worry
I’m gonna help you see this through.

When the well runs dry
When the cupboards bare
You can know that God will still be there
Though sometimes it’s really hard to see
But when the tension’s high
When our hearts turn cold
Take comfort in knowing that God’s in control
And will be forever and ever
