Out of the Natural
Benny Hester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But all around the trees are swaying
The sun, moon, and stars
Are there as proof of his creation
The Spirit was sent
And now his gentle breeze is blowing
These miracles came
So you can rest in finally knowing...
He'll take you out of the natural
Into the supernatural
He'll take you out of the natural
Into the supernatural
People come up
And they ask me how it happens
Just like you
You know I sit back and wonder
The Lord does his work
And I can see it on their faces
A glow that confirms
That when we lift to him our praises...
He'll take you out of the natural
Into the supernatural
He'll take you out of the natural
Into the supernatural
I believe, when we gather in his name
That no one should stay the same
But whatever you do, it's still up to you
No words I could say
Could make you feel the way you're feeling
It's the Spirit of God
That touched your heart and gave you healing
He'll take you out of the natural
Into the supernatural
He'll take you out of the natural
Into the supernatural
He'll take you out of the natural
Into the supernatural
He'll take you out of the natural, into...
