[English]

The same God who makes the planets spin

Tells the tide when it should rise

Put the colour in my eyes

The same God who makes the seasons change

Knows the number of the stars

Every secret in my heart

All my doubts, all my questions

In every fear, I have about what might happen

You're the same God

You're with me in the middle of it all, God

You're catching every tear as it falls

I know You'll never change

Even when I'm feeling far away

You love me the same, God

You love me the same, God

You love me the same, God

You love me the same

You're a God of grace and empathy

You know how it feels to cry

'Cause You lived a human life

You're not afraid of anything

Even darkness is a light

There's no reason I should hide

All my doubts, all my questions

In every fear, I have about what might happen

You're the same God

You're with me in the middle of it all, God

You're catching every tear as it falls

I know You'll never change

Even when I'm feeling far away

You love me the same, God

You love me the same, God

You love me the same, God

You love me the same

Even when I'm running

When I feel ashamed

Even when I'm breaking

Still, You love me

Even when I'm lonely

When I lose my way

When I don't believe it

Still, You love me

The same, God

You're with me in the middle of it all, God

You're catching every tear as it falls

I know You'll never change

Even when I'm feeling far away

You love me the same, God

You love me the same, God

You love me the same, God

You love me the same

You love me the same
