Always the Same

The leaves they now have fallen

They float upon the breeze

Here to give a wink and say goodbye

And the spring has stopped its calling

The summer said its peace

And I am left to watch creation die

And I'm breathing out and breathing in

Again

(CHORUS)

And everything around me it is passing away

Dust to dust 'til nothing will remain

Here we are and You are always the same

All the treasures I have guarded

With bars around my heart

That held me for the ransom of control

'Til the Maker struck a bargain

That tore the veil apart

And sewed it to the fabric of my soul

And I'm here to live and here to die

So I'll try

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

And here You do surround me in an interesting way

With beauty that has never seen its match

It is fading

It is so dimly seen

It's a picture of You that will someday expire

With a word of Your mouth and a glorious fire

(CHORUS)
