You don’t know what I know
You don’t feel what I feel
You don’t see what I see
You can’t hear what I hear
Because
You are not and never will be me.

Dear Lord, my God
Let me be
Part of a world that is happy.
Dear Lord, my God
Let me see
Things of beauty in all I perceive.
Dear Lord, my God
Let me hear
The words of my soul
Let them guide me where I need to go.
Dear Lord, my God
Let me feel
The spirit that lives inside of me.
Dear Lord, my God
My Spirit, my Soul
I need your guidance
Your knowledge, your company
Here by me, where’re I go.

Hear the water run
Hear it overflow.
Running down
The tree covered
Downslope.
Bringing fresh
And lasting life
To all it touches.
Bringing life
To those who live
Here upon the crest
Of ever life.
In hills of lovely
Lovely autumn life.

Pause a little
Look around
Hear the sound
Of beauty
Glory all around.
You’re in the midst
Of wonder
And
A spectacular story
Look around.
Pause
Look around
Hear all
That’s such
A glorious sound.
