From babies hidden in the shadows
To the cities shining bright
There are captives weeping far from sight
For every doorway there's a story
And some are holding back the cries
But there is one who hears us in the night

Great God
Wrap Your arms around this world tonight
Around the world tonight
And when You hear our cries
Sing through the night
So we can join in Your song
And sing along. We'll sing along

For the farthest corners of the earth
Still His mercy reaches
Even to the pain we cannot see
And through the deepest darkness
There's a promise that will keep us
There is one who came to set us free

Great God
Wrap Your arms around this world tonight
Around the world tonight
And when You hear our cries
Sing through the night
So we can join in Your song
And sing along. We'll sing along

Oh, let Your song rise
And fill up the Earth
Let Your hope ring out
Let Your heart be heard
