TEXT

Within the Music
by Joel Vredneburg

Can I see you?
Can I hear you?
Can I feel you, within the music?
Can I see you, within the music?
Can I hear you, in a thousand notes?
Can I feel you, through the rhythm?
Can I sing for you, oh Lord?

I close my eyes, and quiet my mind.
I hear your voice, it brings me peace.

Now I see you, within the music.
I can see you, within the music.
I can hear you, in a thousand notes.
I can feel you, through the rhythm.
I can sing for you, oh Lord.

Alone and scared to move, in the dark of night, as the chill wind blows.
I hear your voice, you sing a, song. sing a song.
It quiets the storm, and soothes my fear. fear, and soothes my fear.

I can hear my Lord, in a thousand notes.
I can feel him, through the rhythm.
I can sing my song, to the end of days.
I can finally see you, within the music!
