Derek Webb - I Measure the Days (Simplified Anglican Chant) lyrics
[Derek Webb - I Measure the Days Simplified Anglican Chant lyrics]
Your voice is like the deepest ocean
So rich with color that
This language cannot name
You speak in shades of thunder
In storms and rain you have brought me low
With one word you can call
The halcyon waters forth
Your face is radiant like an ancient star
It burns across the universe of my mind
I put my hands over my eyes
My prayers they make no sound
My knees pull me prostrate to the earth
I wait for the morning light like a watchman
Your presence it is like a whisper
It is here and then it hides away
I see the flaming skies
The summer fields in bloom
I see the beauty glimmer through
The rocks before it fades
Back to the ground I am returning
I measure the days
So rich with color that
This language cannot name
You speak in shades of thunder
In storms and rain you have brought me low
With one word you can call
The halcyon waters forth
Your face is radiant like an ancient star
It burns across the universe of my mind
I put my hands over my eyes
My prayers they make no sound
My knees pull me prostrate to the earth
I wait for the morning light like a watchman
Your presence it is like a whisper
It is here and then it hides away
I see the flaming skies
The summer fields in bloom
I see the beauty glimmer through
The rocks before it fades
Back to the ground I am returning
I measure the days
