You took my whisper and you gave me a shout
God release the sound within me let it out
This sound echoes from the ground into my soul
My bones they long, they cry this song

The old has gone and the new has come
Darkness overwhelmed by the breaking dawn
Land once lost has been returned
For Christ has brought me home

I’m alive because you are alive in me
Your love awakens like the morning light
I’m captivated by this hope that calls me home
Your inheritance now mine

Ki te whei ao
Ki te ao marama
Tihei mauriora
