I’ve sensed you all my earthly years,
Don’t ask me how I knew,
I’ve watched the wide world spinning
With countless signs of you.

I’ve loved you as an angel
Who never could be true.
I’ve seen so many glimpses
And countless signs of you.

Harsh plights have caused me heartaches
And often I withdrew.
That angel then would call me back
By countless signs of you.

In wars where I’ve surrendered,
When shame would have to do,
I’ve charged back into battle
Bearing countless signs of you.

And when my soul’s been weary
And love had turned taboo
I’ve overcome my apathy
Through countless signs of you.

You’re part of all I treasure,
And I’ll live my whole life through
With gratitude for finding joy
In those countless signs of you.
