Over My Head

Representative Text

[Refrain:]
Over my head I see trouble in the air;
over my head I see trouble in the air;
over my head I see trouble in the air;
there must be a God somewhere.

1 Oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air;
oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air;
oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air;
there must be a God somewhere. [Refrain]

2 And when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air;
and when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air;
and when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air;
there must be a God somewhere. [Refrain]

3 Now when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air;
now when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air;
now when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air;
there must be a God somewhere. [Refrain]
