The sun comes up, the sun goes down
We’re watching and we’re waiting
The wind blows north, the wind blows south
Life is always changing
But You stay the same
God, You, You remain
A newborn cries, we say good-bye
Blink and life it passes
Chasing dreams, we break our wings
But we’ll just keep on dancing
And You lead the way
You’re my constant in the change
You are the color that never fades
Every season I go through
Is bringing me closer to You
Till everything falls into place
When we’re standing face to face
Every healing and heartbreak
Bringing me closer
Then sings my soul out in wonder
Then sings my soul, You are the answer
Then sings my soul, I’m Yours forever
Then sings my soul out in wonder
Then sings my soul, You are the answer
Then sings my soul, I’m Yours forever
You’re my constant in the change
You are the color that never fades
Every season I go through
Is bringing me closer to You
Then sings my soul
