You'Re There, I See You

I close my eyes in darkness While the world lies down to sleep As a father and a husband My family’s mine to keep Protect them? I am willing I am always there on guard But, when I’m not and far away I trust You are, oh Lord The rising sun of morning Has my family’s eyes so wide As the motor sounds of traffic Fills the air that floats outside And the people that are walking Some are jogging, some just go Makes me see, what truly is And all I really need to know God, You’re there… I see you In the blue that reigns up in the sky On the breath of clouds that float on by The image of the homeless man Who still offers up his time As he asks not for, without doing first So I give water to quench his thirst To the flowers that grow in the park And the trees that children climb God, You’re there… I see you While coming home at evening time Knowing my family waits for me I smile real wide as I walk along So all the world can see Maybe then they’ll see just what I see And then take it on their way With hopes that they will share a smile And make better someone’s day Now the sun has set, children tucked With a kiss I gave to fall asleep Standing at the door I see my wife And I feel the love she gave to keep I thank you Lord for all I have For always seeing my family through Because I know I couldn’t do this alone That’s why I put my faith in You God, You’re there… I see you In the blue that reigns up in the sky On the breath of clouds that float on by The image of the homeless man Who still offers up his time As he asks not for, without doing first So I give water to quench his thirst To the flowers that grow in the park And the trees that children climb God, You’re there… I see you
