When I Sang

歌詞

There were pictures everywhere And my teacher said that this was His house, So I knew He must be there And even though I never saw His face I know He walked the halls, And I knew that He could hear When I sang that I could be His sunbeam That I could love my neighbor That I could fold my arms and bow my head And I knew He was just around the corner In the light behind the stained glass I wasn't quite sure where, But He was always there When my freckles went away And all the dresses and the lace-trimmed socks Began to get too small I saw churches everywhere, I saw so many children go inside And I wondered if He knew my name at all But I sang that I would be my brother's keeper And I felt the tempest raging But I kept singing "Peace, peace, be still" And I hoped that He was still around the corner In the light behind the stained glass I searched everywhere And He was always there And I stand all amazed Confused at he grace He gives to me With all the ways I wander A pilgrim and a stranger But in the distance I can always see The light that kindly leads I am older now But every day I try to be a little more Like the child I used to be And I think the times I start to feel that way the most Are the moments that I pray And when I raise my voice to sing To praise the Lord Almighty The King of Creation Somehow I know that He can hear By the way my spirit trembles He's just around the corner In the light behind the stained glass It doesn't matter where He is always there
