When the night is clear enough
I can see through Heavens door
Endless stars like endless sand
Upon the oceans sure
Of all the human lives to plead, or ever that will be
I stand amazed that Heaven knows me

He hears one by one
Loves one by one
When this crowded world around you
Doesn't know your name
He knows us, one by one

When he saw the hungry thousand
Every person ate
Comforted the aching the soul
And looked into each face
And when he had a world to save
He had a world of time
To stop and hold a little child

He hears one by one
Loves one by one
When this crowded world around you
Doesn't know your name
He knows us one by one

He notices it all
The sparrow when it falls
The sheep within his fold
Every person breathed was born upon his soul
One at a time he makes us whole

He hears one by one
Loves one by one
When this crowded world around you
Doesn't know your name
He knows us, one by one
The way he loves you
Is one by one
