.[G]I watch the sunrise
[Bm]Lighting the sky
[C]Casting its [G]shadows [D]near
[G]And on this morning –[Bm]bright though it be
I [C]feel those ]G]shadows [D]near [G]me.
[G]For you are [Bm]always [C]close to [G]me
[C]following [G]all my [D]ways.
[G]May I be [Bm]always [C]close to [G]you,
[C]following [G]all your[D] ways [G]Lord.
I watch the sunrise
Shine through the clouds
Warming the earth below
And at the midday –life seems to say
I feel your brightness near me
I watch the sunset fading away,
lighting the clouds with sleep.
And as the evening closes its eyes,
I feel your presence near me.
I watch the sunset fading away,
lighting the clouds with sleep.
And as the evening closes its eyes,
I feel your presence near me.
I watch the moonlight guarding the night,
waiting till morning comes.
The air is silent earth is at rest -
only your peace is near me. yes, you are always near me.
For you are always close to me
following all my ways.
May I be always close to you,
following all your ways Lord.
