Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I've done and all I've left undone
My only peace of mind is that it's incomplete
Your work in me is only begun
Oh I believe it, even when I can't see it
You are always watching over me
Oh I believe it, even when I don't feel it
Don't worry, it'll be alright
Every bird on a wing or any flower that grows
Is never anxious for a single thing
My confidence is in the only One who can know
How to give me everything I need
Don't worry, it'll be alright
Oh I believe it, even when I can't see it
You are always watching over me
Oh I believe it, even when I don't feel it
You are watching over everything
