Both hands around the warm white cup
And nothing else to do
There's nothing I should do right now
But watch the afternoon
The tea is warm, the glass is clear
The leaves fall slow as tune
And watching is a kind of prayer
When it is done with care
Watch, just watch, hold the cup
Let the leaves come down
Be still and know that He is God
In every falling brown
The little lamb has fallen still
Its head upon my shoe
We watch together, lamb and I
The way the quiet grew
A leaf lets go, another waits
The cup is warm and true
Watch, just watch, hold the cup
Let the leaves come down
Be still and know that He is God
In every falling brown
Be still and know, the Scripture says
And windows teach it well
For there is nothing I must fix
And nothing I must tell
Mmm... mmm... mmm
Watch, just watch, hold the cup
Let the leaves come down
Be still and know that He is God
In every falling brown
Watch, just watch, hold the cup
Let the leaves come down
Be still and know that He is God
In every falling brown
Both hands around the warm white cup
And that is quite enough
