|
The sun was setting over Avalon |
|
The last time we stood in the west |
|
Suffering long time angels enraptured by Blake |
|
Burn out the dross innocence captured again |
|
Standing on the beach at sunset all the boats |
|
All the boats keep moving slow |
|
In the glory of the flashing light in the evening's glow |
|
When will I ever learn to live in God? |
|
When will I ever learn? |
|
He gives me everything I need and more |
|
When will I ever learn? |
|
You brought it to my attention everything that was made in God |
|
Down through centuries of great writings and paintings |
|
Everything lives in God |
|
Seen through architecture of great cathedrals |
|
Down through the history of time |
|
Is and was in the beginning and evermore shall be |
|
When will I ever learn to live in God? |
|
When will I ever learn? |
|
He gives me everything I need and more |
|
When will I ever learn? |
|
Whatever it takes to fulfill his mission |
|
That is the way we must go |
|
But you've got to do it your own way |
|
Tear down the old, bring up the new |
|
And up on the hillside it's quiet |
|
Where the shepherd is tending his sheep |
|
And over the mountains and the valleys |
|
The countryside is so green |
|
Standing on the highest hill with a sense of wonder |
|
You can see everything is made in God |
|
Head back down the roadside and give thanks for it all |
|
When will I ever learn to live in God? |
|
When will I ever learn? |
|
He gives me everything I need and more |
|
When will I ever learn? |
