Every once in a while it dawns on me, Lord,
how petty, how passing and inconsequential
are so many things renting space in my mind
and filling my heart with worry and fear...
Every once in a while I get a clear view
of what really matters, the things that count,
of what makes a difference in how I live
and what makes a difference to you...
Every once in a while I get some perspective
on how small my world has become,
how entitled, short-sighted and selfish my take
on what burdens the hearts of others...
Every once in a while, at least now and then,
-and just as happened today, Lord-
I look through your eyes and feel with your heart
and I see my life as you do...
I see my burdens, my blessings and gifts,
I feel my pain, my healing and peace;
I accept what's hard, what's real and true,
I know my sins and your mercy and grace...
I see myself as I truly am:
troubled and calm; broken and healed;
lonely and loved; forgotten and found;
fragile and strong; fearful and sure;
doubting and faithful; hungry and fed...
And it dawns on me, Lord - as if anew:
you're my Maker and I'm your child;
you're my refuge, my haven, my strength;
you're my Savior, my mercy and pardon,
you're my way, my truth and my life;
you're my Lord, my God and my all;
my life’s in your hands
– and you won't let go...
Only in you does my life make sense, Lord,
only in you will I find myself;
only in you will I know the truth
and only in you will I be at peace...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
God Only Knows

Wide awake while the world is sound asleep
and
Too afraid of what might
Too afraid of what might
show up while you’re dreamin’
’Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody will believe you
’Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody will believe you
Everyday you try to pick up all the pieces
All the memories they somehow never leave ya
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody will believe you
God
only knows what you been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of a love that, God only knows
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of a love that, God only knows
(2X)
There’s a kind love that, there’s a kind of love...
You keep a cover over every single secret
So afraid if someone saw them, they would leave
But somebody, somebody, somebody sees you
Somebody, somebody will never leave you
God
only knows what you been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of a love that, God only knows
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it’s killing you
But there’s a kind of a love that, God only knows
(2X)
There’s a kind love that, there’s a kind of
love,
There’s a kind love that, there’s a kind of love...
For the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood and the ones to blame
The misunderstood and the ones to blame
What if we can start over, we could start over,
we could start over (2x)
There’s a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of a love that, God only knows
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There’s a kind of a love that, God only knows
(2X)
There’s a kind love that, there’s a kind of
love,
There’s a kind love that, there’s a kind of love...
There’s a kind love that, there’s a kind of love...
God only knows where to find you
God only knows how to break through
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows
