Everywhere
Rita Springer's 'Everywhere' is a worship song inspired by a moment of watching the ocean from a friend's house in San Destin, FL. The lyrics reflect on how creation—the sea, mountains, and sun—praises God, and the singer expresses a desire to trust and lean on Him like creation does. The song conveys awe at God's majesty and a longing to be more like Him, acknowledging that words fall short of describing His greatness. It's a personal and reflective piece that encourages listeners to see God's presence all around them and to respond with worship and surrender.
I was standing facing the ocean at a friend's house in San Destin, FL when this song came. Looking out the window playing her piano and watching the ocean groan and lean against the Lord, it made me aware of how I need Him more then ever...
Oh the way the sea crashes on the shore
And with endless praise glorifies Your name
Oh the mountains green stand with faithful feet
Raised to point their song and declare You King
And I can see You everywhere
All around me, in the air
You surround my heart with songs of rare belief
Creation groans and leans on You
How I wish that I could too
Teach me more to be like You
You wrap Yourself in light
You ride upon the wind
You cause the sun to shine
And obey to rise again
Of You I stand in awe and fail with words to say
That all of what You are is why I want to stay
