I think I smell the sunset,
Think I feel the close of day.
Clean shaven correspondents
Are all crowded at the gate;
Smell the oil from their torches,
Their voices growing more irate.
Shepherds' staves are crooked,
Leading every crooked way.
All the sheep lock their doors;
Yeah, they're pulling down their shades.
The faithful looking in their mirrors,
The faithful growing old and gray...
But I look at You:
Your eyes are clear and bright.
I see your face:
It's an amazing sight.
Your glory, Lord,
Is still a burning light,
A light that all our faithless hands
Could never dim.
Think I feel the sunset,
Think I smell the death of day.
People laughing at a funeral;
People dancing at a wake.
And all the seasons blend together -
This birds loosing feathers everyday...
But I look at You:
Your eyes are clear and bright.
I see your face:
It's an amazing sight.
Your glory, Lord,
Is still a burning light,
A light that all our faithless hands
Could never dim.
Everybody's tired, and scared,
And begging unbelief,
But You have yet to break a sweat.
No, You're not afraid.
You're not afraid.
You're not afraid.
Think I smell the sunset,
Think I feel the close of day.

I see your face:

Never dim.
Never dim.
