Lyrics

I THINK OF GOD AS A POET
(Greg Tamblyn, Lance Cowan)

I think of God as a poet
He writes from the heart with love and emotion
And it all comes raining down on us like free verse
I think he writes with a pencil
‘Cause that makes erasing our mistakes so simple
And that’s what all the very best poets will do

I hear the poet’s voice
Feel comfort in his joy
There’s a poet deep within the heart of God

I think of God as a dreamer
He sits around dreamin’ up wild new things
Like time and space, dinosaurs, and people
He loses track of the hours
And in the stillness we can feel this power
Of a quiet moment immersed in beauty

I hear the dreamer’s voice
Feel wonder in his joy
There’s a dreamer deep within the heart of God

And God is my co-pilot
But this ain’t no jet, it’s a sweet stunt flyer
That loop-de-loops, and puts on a real fine show
Sometimes we go barnstorming
Wind in my hair I don’t care where we’re going
And if I spiral out of control he takes the wheel

I can hear his voice
Feel freedom in his joy
There’s a pilot deep within the heart of God

I can hear his voice
Feel comfort in his joy
All things live deep within the heart of God

And God lives deep within the heart of me
And you
I think of God as a poet
