Run the Earth Watch the Sky lyrics

Take a little trip with me back to junior high
Set the time machine to 1975
We just found out that momma's gonna have another kid
back in the 8th grade

remember the days when life was not so mysterious
follow me down the hall to the cafeteria
where the worst thing i could mess up
was dipping yesterday's corn dog in last week's ketchup
back in the 8th grade

*chorus*

Chorus1
Circle up, circle up around the throne
Old and young saints of every history
Great and small angels all and seraphim
Grab a hand, twirl a dance, circle up, and worship Him

Verse1
Hear the hum of angel curiosity
The children of the Lord are gathering
Finally the day weve all been dreaming of
Caught up forever in his love

Chorus2
Circle up, circle up around the throne

Looked out my window last night,
From my pillow and I,
Saw the willow weeping a causal sigh.
Man in the moon looked rather,
Sad and confused as if he'd,
Become a mirror into my watery eyes.
I dreamed and prayed through the night,
Please send some grace with your morning light.

Chorus
And he sent you along like a summer day,
With a blue-sky smile on your funny face,

Becky has a house on Abundant Live Boulevard
A good name, good family, and butterflies in her yard
Becky loves Jesus and really wants to make Him proud
She tears up in church and she sings her harmonies loud
She's got a Bible by the bed, a prayer journal, and a fish on her car
She makes sure to bow her head and give thanks in every restaurant
But is that enough?

Sweetest days of childhood,
Playing in the deep woods,
Stomping through the creek
and feeling oh-so-much alive.

We're camping in the forest,
We join the cricket chorus,
Hum our songs of gratitude
around a crackling fire.

Out here in the stillness,
I found my house of worship
with column trees and canopy of stars,
Here in my cathedral.

It was beneath the blue skies,
I ran down to be baptized,

Summer warm and lazy
Lemon sun and hazy
Remember?
Popsicle red on my chin
Bikes and plastic army men
And no sign of September
Something in my seven years was telling me
To thank the Author of such a biography

CHORUS
Nonny Nonny Odle'ee
River washes over me
Up for air and carry me away
Nonny Nonny Odle'igh
Run the earth and watch the sky
Praying hard and waiting for the day
Nonny Nonny Odle'ay

Here I am on the other side of the radio
Wonderin' why I'm here and why anybody cares what I say
No Im not a better man cause I'm singing my songs on the radio
Cause were all the same, at the end of the day

Now I imagine you on the other side of the radio
Doin' your homework or driving with your windows down on the freeway
I see you tappin' the wheel I see you bobbin' your head to the radio

How far are you? How close am I?
I know your words are true and I don't feel them inside.
Still I believe: you'll never leave.
So where are you now?

You're all I have, You're all I've known.
Your breath is breathing in my soul.
Still I am gasping, aching, asking:
Where are you now?

I just wanna be with You.
I just want this waiting to be over .
I just want to be with You.

Found her starin' at the rain
And askin' why it has to hurt so bad
Wheres the limit to the pain her heart can take
Before it breaks in half
I wanted to be strong enough to hold her
And show her the way
But shes just so far out of reach
And now all I can do is pray

Can you spare an angel tonight
Send a little help from your side
'Cause somebodys lost down here

Weak and wounded sinner,
Lost and left to die,
O, raise your head for love is passing by,

Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus and live.

Now your burden's lifted,
And carried far away,
And precious blood has washed away the stain... so

Sing to Jesus ,
Sing to Jesus ,
Sing to Jesus and live.

And like a newborn baby,
Don't be afraid to crawl,

I could stand here looking at you for a thousand years
And if I could Id fly to the heavens and meet you there
But this gravity keeps holding me down
So Ill just keep watching you slide thru the summer sky
And it makes me smile while you mingle with the lights of fire flies
And I dont want to stop this spinning around

Hey Im getting dizzy now
Falling to the ground
Hey Im getting teary eyed

Week and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head for Love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted,
And carried far away,
And precious blood has washed away the stain...so
Sing to Jesus,
Sing to Jesus,
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a new born baby,
don't be afraid to crawl
