Looking Over Me

 


Looking Over Me

Written by Scott Wainwright


The sweet sounds of release

Echo through these chains

While the air around me

Braced itself for change

For I have heard the whispers Lord

Thundering through these floors

Flashing by the windows

Crashing through the door


And I see Jesus standing there in the light

And I'll rest easy knowing

He's looking over me tonight


And beauty is a tangled weave

Making its triumphant entry

I lay there at its feet

And watch it pass over me

For I have seen the pictures Lord

That blindly confound the wise

Drowning us in colours

Unknown to earthly eyes


And I see Jesus standing there in the light

And I'll rest easy knowing

He's looking over me tonight


Salvation has come to me

With the sign on the cross

Words from a distant country

Giving home to the lost

I've never felt so free

I've never been so disciplined

I'm back on my feet again

I'm free from my sin


And I see Jesus standing there in the light

And I'll rest easy knowing

He's looking over me tonight
