Benjamin Tissell - Oh God lyrics
Artist: Benjamin Tissell
album: The Sunrise Series, Vol. 3: Fire in the Sky
Oh God I see your eyes
In the myriad midnight stars tonight
Actual light in an actual sky
Made of matter and time and the thoughts in my mind
Who am I to look in your eyes?
Oh God I see your eyes
In the myriad midnight cars hissing by
And the crowd down the street under stadium lights
I think of wonder and youth and the image of truth
And the trees whisper "Oh God" tonight
Oh the sounds of the city-dwellers
The miracle-makers, covenant-breakers
The image of Heaven looking for answers
Covered in sin but the veil is thin
And oh God I can see your eyes
Oh God I see your eyes
Not at all how I picture them most of the time
I mean you tell me you love me but I'm always surprised
By the love that I see staring back at me
When I look, oh God, in your eyes
In the myriad midnight stars tonight
Actual light in an actual sky
Made of matter and time and the thoughts in my mind
Who am I to look in your eyes?
Oh God I see your eyes
In the myriad midnight cars hissing by
And the crowd down the street under stadium lights
I think of wonder and youth and the image of truth
And the trees whisper "Oh God" tonight
Oh the sounds of the city-dwellers
The miracle-makers, covenant-breakers
The image of Heaven looking for answers
Covered in sin but the veil is thin
And oh God I can see your eyes
Oh God I see your eyes
Not at all how I picture them most of the time
I mean you tell me you love me but I'm always surprised
By the love that I see staring back at me
When I look, oh God, in your eyes
