I Watch the Sunrise

I watch the sunrise
lighting the sky,
casting its shadows near.
And on this morning,
bright though it be,
I feel those shadows near me
CHORUS

But you are always
close to me
following all my ways.
May I be always
close to you
following all your ways, Lord.
I watch the sunlight
shine through the clouds
warming the earth below
And, at the mid-day,
life seems to say:
I feel your brightness near me.
For you are always...
I watch the sunset
fading away
lighting the clouds with sleep.
And as the evening
closes its eyes
I feel your presence near me.
For you are always...
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...
