When Will I Ever Learn to Live in God

The sun was setting over Avalon

The last time we stood in the West

Suffering long-time angels enraptured like Blake

Burn off the dross, innocence captured again

Standing on the beach at sunset

And all the boats keep moving slow

In the glory of the flashing lights

In the evening's glow

When will I ever learn to live in God

When will I ever learn

Cause He gives me everything I need and more

When will I ever learn

You brought it to my attention

That everything was made in God

Down through centuries

Of great writings and paintings

Everything was in God

Seen through architecture of great cathedrals

Down through the history of time

Is and was in the beginning

And evermore shall ever be

When will I ever learn to live in God

When will I ever learn

Cause He gives me everything I need and more

When will I ever learn

Whatever it takes to fulfill His mission

That is the way we must go

But you've got to do it in your own way

Tear down the old and bring up the new

Up on the hillside it's quiet

Where the shepherd is tending his sheep

And over the mountains and the valleys

And the countryside is so green

Standing on the highest hill

With a sense of wonder

You can see everything is made in God

Head back down the roadside

And give thanks for it all

When will I ever learn to live in God

When will I ever learn

Cause He gives me everything I need and more

When will I ever learn
