Is and was in the beginning and evermore shall be
Tear down the old, bring up the new
Seen through architecture of great cathedrals
When will I ever learn?
Down through centuries of great writings and paintings
When will I ever learn to live in God?
He gives me everything I need and more
Whatever it takes to fulfill his mission
And up on the hillside it’s quiet
When will I ever learn?
Standing on the highest hill with a sense of wonder
Standing on the beach at sunset all the boats
You brought it to my attention everything that was made in God
That is the way we must go
Suffering long time angels enraptured by Blake
Where the shepherd is tending his sheep
But you’ve got to do it your own way
The countryside is so green
Head back down the roadside and give thanks for it all
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
Everything lives in God
Down through the history of time
And over the mountains and the valleys
When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn to live in God?
You can see everything is made in God
When will I ever learn?
Burn out the dross innocence captured again
All the boats keep moving slow
In the glory of the flashing light in the evening's glow
