[Verse 1]
Morning light through paper blinds
Cereal bowls and sleepy eyes
I’m humming thanks under my breath
While tiny voices ask me why
“You can’t see Him
Is He real?”
Spilled milk
Folded hands that wiggle
I say
“Close your eyes
Just feel
Each little breath’s a secret signal”
[Chorus]
God is here
When we laugh
When we cry
In the crumbs on the floor
In the starry sky
Little hands reaching up so high
God is here
God is here
(we are never, never far)
[Verse 2]
Stickers on the Sunday shoes
Crayon marks on every page
They sing too loud
They miss a word
Somehow it’s the sweetest praise
“Does He listen when I’m bad?”
Whispers from the backseat car
I say
“Even when you’re sad
His love stays closer than your scars”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[soft
Almost spoken]
When you’re scared of the dark
When the thunder shakes the walls
[children echo softly]
“He is here
He is here”
When you feel too small
To be noticed at all
[children echo]
“He is here
He is here”
[crescendo
Kids join full voice]
Every giggle
Every tear
Every question
Every fear
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[bare vocal
Kids humming]
God is here
In your small and shining heart
God is here
We were loved right from the start
