lyrics

I came to you to learn, about tears and laughter
My heart full of zeal, but prisoner to its fear
The unlikely sight of snow, falling from a blue and sunny sky
So rightly reflects the bittersweetness of my time here

You reach out your hand, like a healing branch to those who grieve
The poor and weary find rest and shade beneath your leaves
I’ll make many friends, I’ll see many hearts in far away lands
But nothing compares to a family that always understands

Indiana hold my heart though now I go and leave this part
This piece of land that saw me change, and gave me a new heart
Now that I go I see your praise, the simple things that hold my gaze
And with the family that I found, can’t help but make a joyful sound

You were planted to show the splendor of the Lord
And your justice cries out against the oppression of the sword
May you have peace, may you have love that floods cannot swallow
And when I go I know that love will follow

Someday I’ll return and walk the rows of corn in sunlit fields
Someday I’ll join the oaks of righteousness in shaded woods
And if I get to run with lightning bugs and the light they wield
Someday you’ll call me home again you know you really should

Indiana hold my heart though now I go and leave this part
This piece of land that saw me change, and gave me a new heart
Now that I go I see your praise, the simple things that hold my gaze
And with the family that I found, can’t help but make a joyful sound

Hallelujah to the King, he puts the lonely in families
Hallelujah to the Lord, he binds us together with his chords
Hallelujah to the One, he was the first of many sons
Hallelujah to our God, he is here, though we are not
