Miles
Andrew Blooms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bright and pure and always worth it
I'm holding to my pinlight in the dark
The winter months have their reasons
The blooms of spring have their seasons
Now I can hear Your heartbeat through them all, (ay)
That taught me how to rest
I thank You for the miles I've climbed
That strengthened my feet to dance
I thank You for the valleys, trials
When You hold me through the night
With You I'll stand, look back and smile
'Cause now I can see for miles
Oh Lord, Your ways are perfect
Bright and pure and always worth it
I'm holding to my pinlight in the dark
And suddenly my cold heart's beating
Suddenly my blind eyes see in
The colors of the sunrise in the dawn
So thank You for the lonely hours
That taught me how to rest
I thank You for the miles I've climbed
That strengthened my feet to dance
I thank You for the valleys, trials
When You hold me through the night
With You I'll stand, look back and smile
'Cause now I can see for miles
And I can see for miles and miles
Yes, I can see for miles and miles
Yes, I can see for miles and miles
Yes, I can see for miles and miles
Can this view sustain me?
Let me remember, let me remember
Every winter You turned to spring
Let me remember, let me remember
