Lyrics of Always by Hillsong United ( Reflections as I Looked at the Sunrise)

This is another one of my all-time favorite songs. It's a love song to the Lord. Last April 3, I was listening to this song as I was looking at this sunrise on the beach in Sariaya, Quezon, on the eastern coast of Luzon Island, here in the Philippines.

Who are we that the Almighty God thinks about us? Yet the Lord always shows His love to us in many ways. Like through this beautiful sunrise.

As I looked at the ocean, the Lord also brought to mind Job 38:16 "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep?" The Lord Almighty who loved me and died for me and was showing me a beautiful sunrise as I worshipped Him is also the one who walks in the sea trenches. Wow.

Did You rise the sun for me?
Or paint a million stars that I might
Know Your majesty?
Is Your voice upon the wind?
Is everything I've known marked
With my maker's fingerprints?

Breathe on me
Let me see Your face
Ever I will seek You

Chorus:
'Cause all You are, is all I want, always
Draw me close in Your arms
Oh God, I wanna be with You

Can I feel You in the rain?
Abandon all I am to have You
Capture me again
Let the earth resound with praise
Can You hear as all creation lives
To glorify one name?
