Under The Floor
Switchfoot · New Way To Be Human
Between me and the door
There's a presence I cannot deny
It's under the car
Between me and the stars
I see glory filling up the sky
Chorus:
And I'm certain that He hears me
He listens even as I sing my song
I'm emphatic that He's near me
And I can see His touch in everything here
Deep is the soul
Is the space I control
Is the one thing I can call as mine
Deeper the cold
When He's far from my soul
I surrender all of me inside
Chorus
In everything here
Chorus
Yeah, in everything here (2x)
