lyrics

The Sun Rises

The sun rises everyday
And in the evening it goes down, goes down
There's nothing new in it's way
It's just the same old world spinnin' round, spinnin' round
But I was looking for change in my life
Some new color for the shades of gray
I wanted pleasure for my body and mind
Anything to gratify, satisfy, satisfy

So I tried silver, I tried gold
I tried wine, women and song
Anything my eyes desired
But it didn't take me long to see that everything was meaningless
Chasing after wind
For Jesus is all in all
Life is empty without Him!

The sun rises everyday
And in the evenin' it goes down, goes down
There's nothing new in it's way
It's just the same old world spinnin' round, spinnin' round

Too many years I've wandered day after day
Looking vainly for some lasting pleasure
Then God had mercy and He gave me new life
Now I know real love and joy without measure!

But I tried silver, I tried gold
I tried wine, women and song
Anything my eyes desired
But it didn't take me long to see that everything is meaningless
Chasing after wind~
But Jesus is all in all
Life is empty without Him!

The sun rises everyday
And in the evening it goes down, goes down.
