There were pictures everywhere
And my teacher said that this was His house,
So I knew He must be there
And even though I never saw His face
I know He walked the halls,
And I knew that He could hear
When I sang that I could be His sunbeam
That I could love my neighbor
That I could fold my arms and bow my head
And I knew He was just around the corner
In the light behind the stained gla**
I wasn't quite sure where,
But He was always there
When my freckles went away
And all the dresses and the lace-trimmed socks
Began to get too small
I saw churches everywhere, I saw so many children go inside
And I wondered if He knew my name at all
But I sang that I would be my brother's keeper
And I felt the tempest raging
But I kept singing "Peace, peace, be still"
And I hoped that He was still around the corner
In the light behind the stained gla**
I searched everywhere
And He was always there
And I stand all amazed
Confused at he grace He gives to me
With all the ways I wander
A pilgrim and a stranger
But in the distance I can always see
The light that kindly leads
I am older now
But every day I try to be a little more
Like the child I used to be
And I think the times
I start to feel that way the most
Are the moments that I pray
And when I raise my voice to sing
To praise the Lord Almighty
The King of Creation
Somehow I know that He can hear
By the way my spirit trembles
He's just around the corner
In the light behind the stained gla**
It doesn't matter where
He is always there
