Everywhere
Rita Springer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh the way the sea crashes on the shore
And with endless praise glorifies Your name
Oh the mountains green stand with faithful feet
Raised to point their song and declare You King
And I can see You everywhere
All around me, in the air
You surround my heart with songs of rare belief
How I wish that I could too
Teach me more to be like You
You wrap Yourself in light
You ride upon the wind
You cause the sun to shine
And obey to rise again
Of You I stand in awe and fail with words to say
That all of what You are is why I want to stay
