As I look around and watch the trees/Sway in the breeze/You amaze me/As I see the rain/Dance on the windowpane/All I can say is/You amaze me.//A new day or a starry night/A cool rain or the sunshine bright/Every day in my life/You, oh, You amaze me.//Chances pass me by/Before I can blink an eye/And then I wonder why/So, right now, amaze me/I long to see Your face/Learn of Your wondrous grace/And feel Your close embrace/Lord, amaze me.//A new day or a starry night/A cool rain or the sunshine bright/Every day in my life/Lord, oh, Lord, amaze me.
How can I feel so lonely/Among this familiar crowd?/How can my world seem silent/With their voices so clear and loud?/Why do I sense I am losing my grip/When I’m standing both feet on the ground?/Maybe the reason I’m feeling so lost is/I never have truly been found.//Alone in a sea of faces/Fearing rejection’s sharp pain/Alone in a sea of faces/Alone to face the rain/Alone to face this rain.//Why is it so hard to reach out/And find a saving hand?/Can’t anyone here see me/And try to understand?/I’m searching for a hand to hold/A hand assuring and warm/I can’t believe I’m being left/Alone to brave the storm.//Alone in a sea of faces/Fearing rejection’s sharp pain/Alone in a sea of faces/Alone to face the rain/Alone to face this rain.
As I look into your eyes/I see you put up/An iron veil/Why do refuse to show me/Who you are?/And why must you hide?/Is it your pride?/Or can you even tell?//You close the curtains on your soul/What can’t you let me see?/You put up all these defensive walls/ How strong do you have to be?/All I’m trying to do is find the real you/The person behind this feeling-proof veil/Behind this iron veil.//Life is quickly passing by/And if you can’t reach out/It’ll be gone in a flash/Relationships you could have had/Love and laughter that you missed/No second chances/Just backward glances/No questions left to ask.//You close the curtains on your soul/What can’t you let me see?/You put up all these defensive walls/How strong do you have to be?/All I’m trying to do is find the real you/The person behind this feeling-proof veil/Behind this iron veil.//Think of all you’re missing/You’ve got everything to lose/Now’s the time to face yourself/Close your eyes, let down this guard, and choose/To live, to live.
Staring at this reflection
I wonder what you see
Because I see only flaws and scratches
I’m not what I’m supposed to be
I know I can’t be perfect
And that no one ever can
But I’m so far from what I pictured
Lord, just tell me who I am?
All I see is a million pieces
Scattered on the floor
Years of silent scrutiny
They all expected more
I’ve tried to be a vessel for You, Lord
But I seem to fail at every task
All I see is broken glass.
Looking back at this journey
How I’ve changed along the way
I used to be full of sunshine
Now my skies only gray
Why has that sun faded/
Into hurt and could-have-beens?
Father, can you make me whole
And reveal Your sun again?
All I see is a million pieces
Scattered on the floor
Years of silent scrutiny
They all expected more
I’ve tried to be a vessel for you,Lord
But I seem to fail at every task
All I see is broken glass.
Child, I see those scattered pieces
I’m here to put them back
Those years you spent hiding hurt inside
Are staying in the past
I don’t know what you’re sorry for
You’ve loved and that is all I ask
Come to me with your broken glass.
