Psalm.2004.Everywhere

By Michelle Branch, to be played on stations like Star 98.7

Turn it inside out so I can see-uh

The part of you that's drifting over me-uh

And when I wake you're--you're never there

But when I sleep you're--you're everywhere

You're everywhere



Just tell me how I got this far

Just tell me why you're here and who you are

'Cause every time I look

You're never there

And every time I sleep

You're always there



Chorus


'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

That makes me believe

I'm not alone

I'm not alone



I recognize the way you make me feel

It's hard to think that you might not be real

I sense it now, the water's getting deep

I try to wash the pain away from me

Away from me



Chorus



And when I touch your hand

It's then I understand

The beauty that's within

It's now that we begin

You always light my way

I hope there never comes a day

No matter where I go

I always feel you so



Chorus



'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I catch my breath

It's you I breathe

You're everything I know

That makes me believe

I'm not alone



You're in everyone I see

So tell me

Do you see me?

Selah

Commentary: Paul of Tarsus said, "For in him we live and move and have our being." He was speaking of God as one who undergirds all existence, in whom we live and breathe. Another Paul, the physicist Paul Davies, once said, "I was drawn to the idea of God as a sort of 'timeless ground of being' on which the cosmic order is built." And if all men and women are the image of God, we see glimpses of him everywhere and in everyone.

There's a not-very-insightful online discussion of Branch's faith here.
