Written 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
