Words and music by Carolyn Arends Every once in a while on a summer night The sunset glows and I see the light And when the stars come out it dawns on me There is holy ground underneath my feet
Surprised by joy Awash in love Just one taste of grace And I'm overcome You've got a way Of breaking through 'Til I'm surprised by joy I'm amazed by you
Just the other day when I kissed my son I was blown away by what you've done 'Cause when he smiles at me with his toothless grin All at once I see your hand on him
Surprised by joy Awash in love Just one taste of grace And I'm overcome You've got a way Of breaking through 'Til I'm surprised by joy I'm amazed by you
And when I least expect it You surround me You astound me with your love
Surprised by joy Awash in love Just one taste of grace And I'm overcome You've got a way Of breaking through 'Til I'm surprised by joy I'm amazed by you
