Lyrics

What is it about this way that makes me want to go?
What is it about this truth that makes me want to know?
What is it about your eyes that makes me want to see?
What is it about your tears that makes me want to weep?

You make my day in ways I can't imagine
You demonstrate your grace in ways that I can't fathom

What is it about this life that makes me want to live?
What is it about this gift that makes me want to give?
What is it about your face that makes me want to hide?
What is it about your voice that lets me recognise...

You make my day etc.

What is this spirit that makes me want to grow?
What is this water that washes white as snow?
What is this race that makes me want to run?
Who is this father who calls me as his son?

You make my day etc.
