Written by John Glynn who was born in Barnet, Hertfordshire in 1948 and brought up in east London, the eldest of six children. After leaving St Ignatius’ College, Stamford Hill, he chose to train for the diocesan priesthood in 1966. At St John’s Seminary, Wonersh in Surrey, John taught himself to play the guitar and began composing music as well as writing lyrics, primarily for liturgy and worship. After being ordained priest in 1974, his compositions began to be recognised and published, and since then John Glynn’s musical works have appeared in many collections, notably “Celebration Hymnal” and “Hymns Old and New”.

I watch the sunrise lighting the sky, Casting its shadows near. And on this morning bright though it be, I feel those shadows near me. But you are always close to me Following all my ways. May I be always close to you Following all your ways, Lord. I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds, Warming the earth below. And at the mid-day, life seems to say: I feel your brightness near me. For you are always Following all my ways. May I be always close to you Following all your ways, Lord. I watch the sunset fading away, Lighting the clouds with sleep. And as the evening closes its eyes, I feel your presence near me. For you are always Following all my ways. May I be always close to you Following all your ways, Lord. I watch the moonlight guarding the night, Waiting till morning comes. The air is silent, earth is at rest Only your peace is near me. Yes, you are always Following all my ways. May I be always close to you Following all your ways, Lord.
I personally like the songs Marilla sings, they are very uplifting, but, if I have a favourite it would be 'What colour is the wind' but, this does not in any way take away from all the other songs. It enhances them. God bless you Marila.
a truly emotional rendition of a masterpiece. Daniel O'donnels sang this also. equally well-delivered. But the message delivered, while different brings me closer to God. Thank you.
@rottweiler124 Thanks for your sentiment. Some time ago now,17 years, 18th April 1994. Gone but never forgotten. If your Mother is still alive, "Treasure her!" (Beautiful Song)
@SuperBobdel Hi i have been an organist in church since the age of 10, and i don't think it comes in a four part, but if you want to i can send you the original organ version and the words . Me and a friend worked out a two part harmony to this quite easily if that helps? Andy

Tom Aitchison The congregation sang it at my brother Ian's funeral at Corpach. Beautiful. RIP Ian. You are sorely missed.
I watch the sunrise lighting the sky,
Casting its shadows near.
And on this morning bright though it be,
I feel those shadows near me.
But you are always close to me
Following all my ways.
May I be always close to you
Following all your ways, Lord.
I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds,
Warming the earth below.
And at the mid-day, life seems to say:
I feel your brightness near me.
For you are always
Following all my ways.
May I be always close to you
Following all your ways, Lord.
I watch the sunset fading away,
Lighting the clouds with sleep.
And as the evening closes its eyes,
I feel your presence near me.
For you are always
Following all my ways.
May I be always close to you
Following all your ways, Lord.
I watch the moonlight guarding the night,
Waiting till morning comes.
The air is silent, earth is at rest
Only your peace is near me.
Yes, you are always
Following all my ways.
May I be always close to you
Following all your ways, Lord.
