Van morrison when will i ever learn to live in god? lyrics

The sun was setting over Avalon

The last time we stood in the west

Suffering long time angels enraptured by Blake

Burn out the dross innocence captured again



Standing on the beach at sunset 

All the boats keep moving slow

In the glory of the flashing light in the evenings glow



When will I ever learn to live in God?

When will I ever learn?

He gives me everything I need and more

When will I ever learn?



You brought it to my attention that everything was made in God

Down through centuries of great writings and paintings

Everything lives in God

Seen through architecture of great cathedrals

Down through the history of time

Is and was in the beginning and evermore shall ever be



When will I ever learn to live in God?

When will I ever learn?

He gives me everything I need and more

When will I ever learn?



Whatever it takes to fulfill HThe main change was to delete the is mission

That is the way we must go

But you've got to do it your own way

Tear down the old, bring up the new



And up on the hillside its quiet

Where the shepherd is tending his sheep

And over the mountains and the valleys

The countryside is so green

Standing on the highest hill with a sense of wonder

You can see everything is made in God

Head back down the roadside and give thanks for it all



When will I ever learn to live in God?

When will I ever learn?

He gives me everything I need and more
