Universe Next Door

Lyrics

There is a universe next door to me Living, breathing, feeling, and orbiting Not even my telescope can make it to His galaxy I can barely keep my own world a reality There is a universe next door to me But there isn't a miracle or a mystery Not even my warmest smile can break through His reality Well, I can barely love the ones who are in front of me Break my heart Open up my eyes Fill me with compassion Show me how to be Jesus to the universe Jesus to the universe next door to me I must escape my silent planet For far too long I've taken this Good News for granted How can I say loving my neighbor is my creed, my claim When I don't even know His Well, when I don't even know His name Break my heart Open up my eyes Fill me with compassion Show me how to be Break my heart Open up my eyes Fill me with compassion Show me how to be Jesus to the universe Jesus to the universe next door Jesus to the universe next door to me There is a universe next door to me There is a love between our poverty, mmm-mmm... But I never been surer, it's just too far too see
