I See Your Face In the Ocean

From this rocky height 
In the morning light,
Everything I see 
Reminds me of Your love;
Seagulls, as they cry
Like the angels fly
By the restless sea
Or in the skies above.

Waves crash far below,
Droplets fall like snow;
Everywhere I look
Reminds me of Your grace:
Colors bloom and fade,
Everything You've made
Like an open book
Reveals Your hidden face.

Brighter than the sun,
Deeper than the sea;
You're the only One
That means the world to me:
Stronger than the waves,
Firmer than this stone;
You're the One who saves,
Lord, You, and You alone.

Higher than the sky,
Far spread as the winds;
Lord, You chose to die
To save me from my sins:
Faithful as the tide
And the break of day;
Always by my side,
Remain there, Lord, I pray.

Isaiah...this is a very beautiful testament to your faith. I'm sure He is smiling on you from above. It reminds me of the song...YOU'RE EVERYWHERE by HEIRLOOM. Oh that song touches me...."You're everywhere...in everything...you're in the new fallen snow...the flowers in spring...you're everywhere in everything all the time"....
