Lyrics
I rise in the morning at dawn,
And I see the world outside gleaming,
Behind this facade-
is the face of God,
The risen Son is beaming,
He is all I see
in this world's beauty,
I'm reminded He made everything,
All the earth reveals-
what my spirit feels-
for Jesus, my Lord and my King,
At noon when the day's in full swing,
As the life attempts to devour me,
If I fail or slip--
like some sinking ship,
The Son of God empowers me,
He is all I see
as He comforts me,
He reminds me that this is a test,
as I run this race--
I will keep His pace,
His counsel will ensure my best,
Someday when this life comes to pass,
And I stand before Him in judgement,
Will He say the dear--
words I long to hear:
"Well done, my good, faithful servant."?
He'll be all I see
for enernity,
I'll endeaver, forever to make--
myself like my Lord,
Be of one accord--
with Christ, whom I'll never forsake,
(tag)
When you're face to face--
and in His embrace,
You'll know why He is 'all I see',
