As I sit in the night sky, watching the stars fly by
I can't help but be amazed, at what God has put in grace
My heart yearns, searches round, but it is with great despair that I've found
I am lost….lost in a world of misery and pain throughout all of times past
A world that drowns my soul yet makes me feel so whole
A world full of expectations, dreams and disaster
Wasted time, wasted years…I have found nothing through all my tears
Awaiting the day that salvation would come, little to know I already had some
My life seems shattered, my heart distraught, yet alive I am with the time I’ve bought
I take a look in the mirror and with my reflection all I see is despair
Help dear God, I don't want to feel the flare
Deep within I feel God speak, "my child" he says "do not weep"
“For I am with you, your friend, your father
I shall hold you up when you're down and broken
Don’t you see my child? You're an amazing wonder
Amazing in so many ways, handmade with all my grace
You were created in my image, just follow my pace
Take a leap and trust in me, I will deliver you, you will break free”
With that, a spark in my spirit, I feel a jolt of hope and victory
I am amazing in so many ways; thanks to my God I've found everlasting grace
He is my friend, my father, my serene wonder
