lyrics

I know you are my Father, yet I feel i barely know you
You're real, of that I'm certain for I've seen Your works around me.
But You’re vast just like the universe and distant as Icarus,*
I need to know You're here right now and with me in the silence.

I've heard of you, I've read your words,
From early on I prayed to you
I've called your name when things went bad. [went wrong].
And sad to say, I've cursed You, too

But I find comfort in Your Son.
In the things He said and did
How He loved us, gave His all,
What He taught and how He lived
All He could talk about was You
Your great goodness and Your love
He convinced me that it's true
Showed me who you are
Put a face on You

So now I'm trying to follow, and to live as you've instructed
And do so in a world that doesn't seem to want to know You
It doesn't help You can't be seen, and dwell outside our senses
And tend to work behind the scenes in mysterious circumstances

But I'll keep trying to know Your love
Though You are light while I am sand
And I'm so far from all You are
And barely start to understand

But I find comfort in Your Son
In the things He said and did
How He loved us, gave His all
What He taught and how He lived
All He could talk about was You
Your great goodness and your love
He convinced me it's all true
Showed me who you are
and put a face on

So I'll pray to You, and call your name
I'll worship You with all I've got
I'll praise You for all that I confront
Whether I feel you near or not

For I've found comfort in Your Son...
In the things He said and did
How He loved and gave His all
What He taught and how He lived
All I will talk about is You
Your great goodness and your love
For He convinced me it's all true
Showed me who you are
and put a face on You

He embodied who you are
Brought it down to earth --
In His beauty I see You.
