GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
by Jim Harris & Martha Michael
THERE IS A SENSE INSIDE YOU
OF WHERE YOU'RE MEANT TO BE
AND THERE ARE STARS TO GUIDE YOU
AS FAR AS YOU CAN SEE
AND THERE IS NO DIRECTION
FROM WHICH YOU CAN'T ARRIVE
TO FIND YOUR OWN REFLECTION
IN EVERYTHING ALIVE
AND THERE IS SUN AND SHOWER
FOR EVERY FIELD AND FLOWER
AND ROOM ENOUGH TO GROW
AND TIME ENOUGH TO KNOW
THAT WHEN YOUR HEART IS OPEN
ONE THING IS GUARANTEED
GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
THROUGH EVERY TEST YOU'VE TAKEN
EACH CHALLENGE THAT YOU FACE
ALTHOUGH YOUR FAITH BE SHAKEN
THERE STILL REMAINS A GRACE
NO SADNESS CAN ERASE IT
NO CYNICISM HIDE
FOR IF YOU JUST EMBRACE IT
YOU'LL FIND YOUR STRENGTH INSIDE
|
THERE IS A QUIET POWER
WITHIN YOUR DARKEST HOUR
ALL CREATURES BEAR ITS TRACE
ITS THERE IN EVERY FACE
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR STRUGGLE
ONE THING YOU MUST CONCEDE
GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
IT IS A ROAD PARTAKEN
LIFE LONGING TO BE FREE
THAT WILL THE WORLD AWAKEN
INEVITABLY
IT IS A SLOW BUT STEADY
UNFOLDING THROUGH THE YEARS
AND WHEN THE CHILD IS READY
THE TEACHER APPEARS
SUN AND SHOWER
FOR EACH FIELD AND FLOWER
GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
AND THERE'S A PLACE IN HEAVEN
FOR EVERYBODY HERE
FOR EVERYBODY HERE
THANK YOU FOR THIS LIFE
THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY
GIVE ME WHAT I NEED
SEND ME ON MY WAY
GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
IF YOU LET HIM (HER) (HIM) (HER)
GOD
GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
