Outside In

Outside where the air is cold, and the nights are long and lonely

Outside where the rain is falling, I heard God calling my name

But when I get outside, God seems to hide, and I cannot find him

Even though, everywhere I look, His touch identifies Him

Vs 2

And in my search outside, the noise and rush seem to distract me

And everyone I meet, I greet, soon to leave them all behind

But when I slow the pace. And quieten the outer part of me

I find His touch is on my soul, and I begin to see

Chorus

That if I want to hear my God and listen closely to Him

I must look at my own life, and start from the outside in. Outside in.

Vs 3

Outside, where the air is warm and the night provides my rest

Outside, where the rain is falling, toward the earth to bless

And when I get outside, God calms my mind, and gently he mends

And everywhere I search for Him, He answers with the love He sends

Vs 4

And in my work outside, I must invite him into my life

And everyone I meet, I greet, and invite Him to bless them too

And when I slow the pace and leave the outer part of me

I find His touch in my soul, and He allows me to be

Chorus

That if I want to hear my God and listen closely to Him

I must look at my own life, and start from the outside in. Outside in. (x2 at end)
