David Dunn's song reflects on seeing God's kindness in creation, family, and life's seasons. The lyrics trace moments of awe—from a sunrise to a son's eyes—and find comfort in God's constant love. The chorus declares that all of life, from first breath to eulogy, rests in God's hands. The song acknowledges grief but affirms that God's love speaks hope even at the grave. It is a meditative piece about recognizing divine goodness in both joy and sorrow, pointing to the unending kindness of God.

Verse
I?ve seen it in the sunrise
I?ve seen it in the eyes of my son
I?ve seen it in the water
The way the crashing river runs

I can feel it in the anthem
A crescendo of melody sweet
And in the thrill of the thunder
Reminding me I?m frail and weak

Chorus
All of my history first breath to eulogy
All of me rests in the hands of my God
Poured out beyond measure we all know the pleasure
Of the limitless unending kindness of God


Verse
I?ve heard it in the silence
It spoke without saying a word
I?ve savored the fragrance
Of every season I ever seen turn

Verse:
I?ve heard it through the darkness
When no other hope could be found
And it springs up like fountains
When our loved ones are placed in the ground
His love says it?s not over now
