The Agony and the Glory

Would you make a wish tonight
If you saw a falling star
Would you like for happiness
To shower right down where you are
Could be the things you have to suffer
Become the way to find the other

Oh, we've gotta live
With the agony and the glory
Through the pain and joy
We can learn to rejoice
And embrace both sides of the story
Not a single moment goes to waste
If it works to make you holy
Let the Spirit have His way with you
Through the agony and the glory

When you say your prayers tonight
What will you ask the Lord to do
Do you want your pleasure now
Or do you want His will for you
We can't escape from all the tensions
Why not embrace His glory in them

Oh, we've gotta live
With the agony and the glory
Through the pain and joy
We can learn to rejoice
And embrace both sides of the story
Not a single moment goes to waste
If it works to make you holy
Let the Spirit have His way with you
Through the agony and the glory

We give thanks for the sun
We give thanks for the rain
He is Lord over all
All the joy and the pain

Oh, we've gotta live
With the agony and the glory
Through the pain and joy
We can learn to rejoice
And embrace both sides of the story
Not a single moment goes to waste
If it works to make you holy
Let the Spirit have His way with you
Through the agony and the glory

Oh, we've gotta live
With the agony and the glory
Through the pain and joy
We can learn to rejoice
And embrace both sides of the story
Not a single moment goes to waste
If it works to make you holy
Let the Spirit have His way with you
Through the agony and the glory...
