Jacobson Park

The sun lay down to rest
On the horizon in the West
Beth and I, we watched it lay it's head
On Jacobson Park
Where right before dark
We waited on a bench to see it's glow

And I knew right then and there that we had seen something never seen before

His mercies are new every morning
He signs off his name at the dusk
And the splendor and the glory of the colors in the sky
Remind me that He's sitting here with us
He's sitting here with us

An old friend walked
In shadow on the dock
As memory looked back to reach at her
A heron it waded
In the shallows unafraid
Aware of all the awe it had inspired

And I saw right then and there that I had known something I'd never known before

His mercies are new every morning
He signs off his name at the dusk
And the splendor and the glory of the colors in the sky
Remind me that He's sitting here with us
He's sitting here with us

So every ripple in the water
And every silhouette on top
Every shiver of the leaves
And every hue of gold above
All impressions of the clouds
Over the land
Are a glimpse at the work
Of the Lord's almighty hand

And every beat of every wing
All the steps of every foot
Every root that drinks it's fill
So it lifts its praises up
And the light that's from the sun
In piercing beams and rays
Is a work that is ordained
So sit and look, sit and stay

His mercies are new every morning
He signs off his name at the dusk
And the splendor and the glory of the colors in the sky
Remind me that He's sitting here with us
He's sitting here with us

From the rising
To the setting
Of the sun
Of the sun
The name
Of the Lord
Is to be praised

From the rising
To the setting
Of the sun
Of the sun
The name
Of the Lord
Is to be praised
