Analysis of Watching Over You
Watching Over You
Author: Mark V. Markov
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every moment awake
Every step you take
God will be,
Watching over you
Throughout night and day
In every word you say
In every way
Every night and day
God will be,
Watching over you
Oh can’t you see
You belong to Elohim
How your faithful heart remains
In every step,
You take
Every move you make
Every moment awake
Never being fake
With true love at stake
God will be,
Watching over you
So much time gone
Lost without a trace
You dream
And wake at night
Always assured,
Of His forgiveness and grace
You look around
As His love
No one can replace
You feel so warm
And you long
For His embrace
As you keep praying
Lord, Lord, Lord,
Please.
Throughout night and day
In every word you say
In every way
Every night and day
God will be,
Watching over you...
