be still my wandering eyes
you're pulling this poor man down
could my heart beat pump life through my veins
could it beat in time with the rhythm and the rhyme of a kingdom song
would my eyes come along
if i turn my head up
every good and every perfect gift comes from above
blessings hide out in the shadow of your mighty wings
as far as the east is from intention
my bended knees are from the sky
rushing Mighty Wind breath your breath of life
deep down into this clay again
then dust will sing, dust will pray, this dust will praise your name today
and i will turn my head up
every good and every perfect gift comes from above
blessings hide out in the shadow of your mighty wings
holy God of solace, sand and grain
my margins are drawn by dead oaks and fence posts
that won't last another Kansas spring
after the twisters steal the chaff away
your peace is a still cloud's shadow cast on the copper wheat
someday your harvest will stand
and i will turn my head up
every good and every perfect gift comes from above
blessings hide out in the shadow of your mighty wings
