 WHATCHA BEEN DOIN'  TODAY
 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN THINKIN'  ABOUT YOU
 JUST HEARD SOME NEWS  THAT SET MY MIND  TO WONDERING
 AND I NEED  TO HEAR YOUR VOICE
 ARE YOU OUT  ON THE PLAINS
 BURNIN' YOUR FEET  ON THE GROUND
 OUT WHERE NO  ONE EVEN KNOWS  YOUR NAME
 SEVENTY MILES  OUT OF TOWN
 'CAUSE WE MISS YOU
 DO YOU MISS US
 WHAT IS THE LANGUAGE
  WITH  WHICH THESE WORDS I CAN TRUST
 THAT I THANK MY  GOD
  EVERY TIME
 I REMEMBER YOU
 WHATCHA BEEN THINKIN'  ABOUT
 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN THINKIN'  ABOUT LIFE
 AND HOW NOTHING  CAN ESCAPE  THE GOVERNING  OF GOD
 STILL SOMEHOW  THAT JUST DOESN'T  COMFORT ME  TONIGHT
 I STILL NEED  TO HEAR YOUR VOICE
 NOW I HEAR YOU
 DO YOU HEAR ME
 WHAT MEDIUM IS THERE
 THAT I CAN USE TO MAKE YOU SEE
 THAT I THANK MY GOD
  EVERY TIME
 I REMEMBER YOU
 BENDING DOWN TO HELP  A FLOWER DRY WITH POVERTY
 HELPING IT TO UNDERSTAND  ITS INHERITANCE
 HOW I REMEMBER LIFE  SO BRIGHT (I remember you)
  EVERY TIME I CLOSE  MY EYES
  I CAN SEE  YOU
 BROTHER YOU MADE  IT
  BROTHER YOU MADE  IT
  BROTHER YOU MADE  IT OH
 AND I THANK MY GOD
 JUST EVERY TIME
 AND I THANK MY GOD
  EVERY TIME  I REMEMBER YOU
  I REMEMBER YOU

 (use the intro/verse riff)
 Is this the strange feeling
 Of you working all to good
 'Cause I am so confused
 I don't even ask for what I should
 When  I asked  for and  deserved a stone
 You  broke  and gave your  body  as bread
 And  even  the  stone that dropped  down  and rolled  away
 Spoke  of the one who bled
 There  you go  working  good from my bad
 There  you go  making  robes from my rags
 There  you go  melting  crowns from my calves
 There  you go  working  good of all I have
 Till  all I have's not that bad
 (use the intro/verse riff)
 When  I asked  for and  deserved a serpent
 You gave  a net full  of fish
 And  even  the  serpent  that told the lie
 When lifted high foretold  the gift
 For  you  so loved  the unlovable
 That you gave  the ineffable
 That  who so  believes  the unbelievable
 Will  gain  the unattainable

Danny  and I  spent another  late night  over pancakes
   /  /  Gh
 We talked about soccer and how every man's just the same
 And made  speculation  on the 'who's  and the 'when's  of our futures
 And how everyone's  lonely  but still  we just couldn't  complain
 And how we  just hate being  alone
 Could I  have left my  only chance
 And now  I'm just wasting  my  time
  Gh
 Looking around
 But you know I know better I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
 'Cause if the birds and the flowers survive then I'll make it okay
 If given a chance and a rock see which one breaks a window
 And see which one keeps me up all night and into the day
 Because I'm so scared of being alone
 That I forgot what house I live in
 But it's not my job to wait by the phone
 For her to call
 Well this day's been crazy but everything's happened on schedule
 From the rain and the cold to the drink that I spilled on my shirt
 'Cause You knew how You'd save me before I fell dead in the garden
 And You knew this day long before You made me out of dirt
 And You know the plan You have for me
 And You can't plan the ends and not plan the means
 And so I suppose I just need some peace
 To get me to sleep
 enjoy

And You knew this day long before You made me out of dirt

And You know the plan You have for me
And You can't plan the ends and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
To get me to sleep
