They shine like dawn on an open Psalm A knowing smile from something You said I hunger for the daily bread of Your ways Ah, the bread of Your ways They glow like blue in a field of black Illuminating the runway ahead I love to follow the angel tread of Your ways Ah, the tread of Your ways [Chorus:] I love Your ways (Your true, Your perfect ways) I love Your ways (so beautiful to me) Lovely always (and faithful to restore) I love Your ways And when I tire, they bring a second wind A word in season, a gleam in Your eye I love to feel the runner's high of Your ways
Ah, the high of Your ways I lived so long under basement floors The flickering lights, the windowless gloom I'm here to stay in the upper room of Your ways Ah, the room of Your ways [Chorus] [Bridge:] I need Your good word speaking When there's nothing to say I need Your Spirit here Breathing on me every day Every night I need Your love's pure light And I've learned forever to trust Ever to follow Ever I'll praise Your everlasting ways (Your everlasting ways Your everlasting ways) [Chorus] I love Your ways
